Satura Iwata Confirms Zelda Wii to Come This Year

Zelda Wii will be making a release before the end of this year, according to Nintendo President Satura Iwata. (it doesn't get any higher up on the totem pole then that). This is according to an interview he did yesterday with Ashi Shimbun. The actual news was broken to us English speaking folks via Andriasang. We will work on a full translation today, so look for that later today or sometime tomorrow. Still, the biggest news has been translated for us: Zelda Wii is coming this year.

GOTY 2010

quick question: Can the WII play Gamecube games. Also WII isnt a HD console so, does the image looks worse on Hdtvs than SDtvs ?

Any problem when i connect my 'WII with my HD tv ?

Redempteur5232d ago (Edited 5232d ago )

WIi can play gamecube games ..
As long as you have the yuv cable , you can play wii games in 480p.
But be carefull many gamecube games will NOT support that résolution ... so the answer depends but in most cases be NO

Trevorthenerd5232d ago

If you have a hd tv you can buy the wiis component cables.

akashifire5232d ago (Edited 5232d ago )

Yeah, great list. I bet there'll also be a lot of surprises as the year progresses.

ScubaSteve15232d ago

since when was golden-eye 2 announced and when was it a wii exclusive last time i recalled it was still a rumor

EvilTwin5232d ago (Edited 5232d ago )

Looking at the games on Wii for 2010...even first party stuff alone...I think Nintendo just pwned Matt Cassamania at IGN for his "Nintendo is lazy" article.

No, Matt...firing your three biggest guns in the same year isn't lazy.

And we still don't know what the heck Retro is working on, or the status of Pikmin 3.

EDIT: I'm with Scuba on Goldeneye. We've gotten rumors and little else.

Fragger2k85232d ago

Hopefully it will be better than Twilight Princess. It was pretty fun, but I wasn't impressed by it at all.

I can see them messing this one up though, 99% of Wii games are aimed at little kids, so I'm sure this will be too.

Fragger2k85232d ago

Just a rough estimate, but I'm sure it's around there somewhere. =P

Jamescagney5232d ago

The wii's got so many exclusives coming out this year, I'm sure adults will be able to enjoy them as well :)

Fragger2k85231d ago

Yea, I agree with you there. I'm not saying adults can't enjoy games on Wii, I do, but that doesn't hide the fact that almost every single one of them is aimed at little kids.

And all those disagrees, really? So most of the Wii's games aren't aimed at those who are younger, huh?

akashifire5231d ago

So let me get this straight... You would say that games like MadWorld and No More Heroes are geared towards kids? lol.

Oh, don't forget Sexy Poker on WiiWare. ;p

Fragger2k85231d ago

Those games are among the few exceptions. I did say that MOST games on the Wii are aimed at kids though, and that's just a fact. I'm not against the Wii if that's how I'm making it seem, I like the system and own one myself, I just hate that most games for it are complete garbage.

I'd really love to see the next Zelda game to actually be a challenge and a bit dark in a way. It doesn't need blood or anything like that, but it just needs to feel a lot less fairytaleish, if you know what I mean. Probably the most important thing that it needs though is 1:1 motion controls for sword combat.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

FinalFantasyFanatic5d ago

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno87d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.
