Zelda Sequel Confirmed For 2010

[Slidell]

You are now less than 365 days away from a new console Zelda game. Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata confirmed to Japan's Asahi Shimbun daily today that the Wii Zelda sequel, first revealed at last year's E3, will be released this year.

 

Iwata was pretty open for this particular interview. He also revealed that Nintendo will be announcing Vitality Sensor games in July, with an aim to release product as soon as possible (not very specific, for sure, but better than nothing!)

 

DS also got some mention. Actually, make that DS 2! Iwata told the paper that a successor to the DS would require high resolution visuals and sensors for detecting player motions.

 

He wouldn't share a time frame for the successor's release, though, instead pointing to the DS's success in 2009. According to Iwata, 2009 was DS's best year ever in North America.

I liked all the Zeldas that were on the various Gameboys. When it went Wii, I didn't like the gameplay

Wind Waker>Majora's Mask>Ocarina>Twilight

 

But this is all just my opinion. Hopefully this next Zelda will be better than TP. TP was great, but didn't have the same Zelda-ish feel I normally get. I think that was due to the lack of a musical instrument and memorable songs.
