Re: Zelda Wii Sequel Confirmed for 2011
 

The expectations come from a long list of golden Zelda games before it.

But I don't have a true visceral feeling about it one way or the other yet. You're right in that I'll have to actually see a true preview of the game before I feel anything about it. Which explains why people are not excited for it, because there's nothing been shown to get excited about. And for all those that hated or disliked Twilight Princess, their expectations must be pretty low.

Never played a Zelda game I haven't loved, I doubt this one will change that.

What Vampyr says. And my expectations come from the snippets of news we've had. Great working sword controls, using TP as a basis and building upon that, doing what they couldn't do in TP...

ORLY? Man, I never saw that coming. Oh, wait, I did. I'm awesome.

Well, sounds like Nintendo has secured a solid Fall 2010 lineup with the promise of a release of a Zelda game at some time in the future.

Re: Zelda Wii Sequel Confirmed for 2011
 

The reading of that quote has been iffy, it doesn't NOT confirm it will come out in 2010, there's a lot we don't know about the game. Actually next to nothing, who knows maybe its been in development since TP came out, and 4 years is enough time to get it "perfect"

And as noted before, I don't think Nintendo needs Zelda this year, they already have Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M as their big game for the year. And sprinkled around with minor hits and some third party stuff like Epic Mickey.

Re: Zelda Wii Sequel Confirmed for 2011
 

I was just joking. The quote obviously neither confirms nor denies a 2010 release, but it sure seems to jive with my original post.

Re: Zelda Wii Sequel Confirmed for 2011
 

Can someone explain to me how Metroid: Other M is a big game? We all know it's not going to ship more than 1.5 million units in its worldwide lifetime.

Other than that, with SMG2 I don't think Nintendo 'needs' Zelda this year. It might even hurt sales to launch them in the same season.

Re: Zelda Wii Sequel Confirmed for 2011
 

Uh... What?

Even people who generally don't like metroid are pumped because it's being developed by Team Ninja.

Imma go ahead and say you're wrong.

Re: Zelda Wii Sequel Confirmed for 2011
 

So there are a bunch of online fanboys who happen to like both Metroid and Team Ninja. So let's add 50.000 sales. Still won't be a huge game.


READ MY LIPS!

How exactly are you calculating this? XD

Re: Zelda Wii Sequel Confirmed for 2011
 

It's just that I'm not impressed at all by what I've seen of Other M. And it's still Metroid, it doesn't excite the masses. And I don't think Ninja Gaiden ever was a million-seller.

Re: Zelda Wii Sequel Confirmed for 2011
 

Im pretty sure the Prime series sold a lot of copies...I think Other M could be a pretty big game.

Hmm... Interesting? Let's see where metroid lies on this list?

And also here is where both Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime: Corruption sold over 1 million copies each. That doesn't include the trilogy pack.

Metroid was never a big deal though.

Re: Zelda Wii Sequel Confirmed for 2011
 

Bah, GoW 3 is terribly gory. I guess that's what the fans want these days?

I still predict that Metroid: Other M won't sell anything like the other mature games on other consoles. Perhaps 2 million lifetime sales. That's good, but nowhere near Mario/Zelda/Halo etc.

And watching the gameplay footage, I still don't see what's so exciting.
