This of course confirms that it will be delayed later this year and actually be released in 2011.

Something to look forward to in the lifespan of the Wii.. Hmm..

I literally laughed out loud at the title and then explanation. Funny stuff.

This is so true, if this game releases in 2010 I'll go streaking through Wal-Mart.

Predicted release date: March, 2011.

[Dyne]

Technically we can't make any predictions until we see it at E3. It's still around 5 months until that, and they've been dormant since Twilight Princess. They could have a pretty solid game by now.

Twilight Princess was delayed purely because of the Wii facelift and was ready to be released on time in April of that year.

I have no doubt it'll arrive in time for the holidays this year. Not sure why you guys are doubting it, does Nintendo have a history of delaying Zelda games? Not from what I can recall, other than Twilight Princess for obvious reasons.

Wind Waker was delayed from 03 to 04

I believe OoT was delayed several times.

Not sure about Majora's Mask.

And the Capcom games.

With that said, I don't know if they need it this year with Mario Galaxy 2 and metroid: Other M, but we shall see I guess.

And if it does, we get to hear about Jason being arrested.

[Dylflon]

I figured Angrist would have broken this news.


Time zones foil the Dutch once again.

[Angrist]

Oh I knew about it yesterday. I just didn't realize it was worth its own topic.

Anyway, I also have good hopes that it will be out this year. I assume they've been working on it since 2006.
But it won't shock me if it'll be delayed.

One other thing: 2010 could be for Japan only. Although lately Nintendo has been releasing its games almost worldwide at the same time.

OoT is infamous for multiple delays.

[Jason1]

Yes, just to clarify, I was referring to in the United States. I suppouse there is a slim chance it will be released in Japan by years end.

[KillerGremlin]

Not really a sequel since the first game was a crossover Cube/Wii title that was not exclusive (and seemed to be designed for the Cube primarily).

I have never been this unenthusiastic for a Zelda title though. Maybe I'll be more impressed when they show a trailer.

[TheSlyMoogle]

Yeah thoroughly not excited. Doubt I will be impressed.

[Angrist]

I've been excited for 2-3 years now. But I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

[BreakABone]

I'll pose the question here since already asked Moogle, curious the other side as well.

How can one feel one way or another about this game? We know next to nothing besides a piece of artwork and that it will feature motion controls, we haven't seen anything.

So how can one be excited or not excited for this game? Where the hell are the expectations coming from?
