Ninty News promo video says Zelda Wii coming this year

by David Hinkle on Jan 29th 2010 8:29PM

Here in the States, we get a weekly dose of Nintendo marketing via Nintendo Week, a sponsored program that runs on the Nintendo Channel. Over in the UK, they get a similar program: Ninty News. Yeah, we're not big fans of the name, either.

In this week's episode, the spotlight is cast on the upcoming year in gaming on Nintendo platforms. Games like Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Epic Mickey are discussed, as well as -- wait, did he just say The Legend of Zelda on the Wii would release this year? Rambling Rupees, we think he did!

You can see the entire episode of -- ugh -- Ninty News past the break. The brief mention of Zelda Wii is a little past the one-minute mark.

Yes. I want that.

I want to go to there.

bollocks Aye say!

Wow, that guy's a little... abrasive? You know, for the Wii News...

(But, he's hilarious.)

Heh, I forgot about Not-So-Epic-Mickey.

Still, a Mario-Zelda-Metroid trifecta in one year would be impressive...

That might actually provide a reason to buy a Wii...

That would be odd for Nintendo.. what are they releasing next year then? Maybe another Mario Kart... and a Strikers? What are they going to do when the "core" crowd gets impatient for a big Nintendo title... a new IP!?

2011... year of the Wii 2?

Too bad Nintendo isn't like Sony. If they were we'd probably already know every single detail about the Wii 2 and then some (all right before it gets pulled off the net and called "rumor and speculation).

True. I'm surprised we haven't heard more on the PS4 (apart from the rejection of Larrabee).

"a Mario-Zelda-Metroid trifecta in one year"

Combined with a new Pokemon, it would be my perfect year.

(Of course if they could get a new Star Fox or F-Zero out this year I would probably die.)

Impressive enough to finally make you buy a Wii, Bradwart?

@Soul (who asked, what big titles Nintendo will have for 2011): Good question. Here's another good question: what are Retro working on? The answers could be related...

By the way, I doubt they'll do another Mario Kart for Wii. I know they've broken the 'one game per generation' rule for loads of things this time, but that particular one just doesn't seem likely to me - more likely there'd be an F-Zero instead? Only a hunch though.

Now I see their strategy! They intentionally made this past year suck balls so they could unleash this trifecta of awesome in 2010.

I'm not even going to let this get me psyched. I already know Reggie's going to delay it and it will not be coming out this year... Damn you Reggie... Damn you.

(For the record, I'll love the game when it comes out but Reggie has really come to disappoint with promising release dates and then holding said game back for another year, or two. Ex; Brawl, Twilight Princess, Pikmin Wii)

I don't think Reggie gets to decide how long games take...

Nobody ever promised anything about Pikmin 3. Miyamoto was a bit disingenuous in 2008 saying that they were "making" the game, given that it only had a small concept team on it until summer 2009, but nobody promised any particular target.

Heh, I appreciate decent dry humor.

I didn't even notice the mention of Wii Zelda though, so I'm going to have to re-watch it.

I love this downpour of great Nintendo news. Keep it coming Nintendo!

I hope so! The Wii's holiday line-up kinda sucked last year. So I'm down for a new Zelda! Now that I think about it... I only picked up two Wii games last year. Hopefully that won't be the case in 2010!!

This should get a lot of comments.

1:10 :)

*Sigh*

Downvote this to oblivion.

This isn't Engadget. We have a superior, yet somehow still sucky comment system.

Well now I know one of the maybe 3 Wii games I will be buying this year.

See, i'm not entirely buying this now. With all the information bonanza of today, we know that Other M is closer to release than Galaxy 2, with a set time of summer for Japan, and probably a similar time for the West (i'm betting August in US, maybe Sept in EU), and i find it dubious that not only will the cram the trifecta into a calendar year, but into the same half of that year

One of the three is going to be pushed out, and its mind-boggling if it's Galaxy 2 that gets pushed out, since it really seems like it's the one that's basically done

And according to Sakaguchi's blog, The Last Story is also mostly done :)

I get this really odd feeling that out of all the AAA exclusives being released this year, Nintendo may actually be the winner...

How is that possible? Is it because they've kept most of their projects low key?

"How is that possible? Is it because they've kept most of their projects low key?"

.........maybe.

Mario looks to be about done. Metroid is likely finished or close to finished at this point.

All we've seen of the new Zelda is the concept art. No in game footage, no screen shots. My gut tells me that even a late 2010 release is unlikely. Of course, Nintendo could release the aforementioned game play footage tomorrow showing how far along the game is in development, and I'd (happily) be wrong.

Zelda games always get delayed. Fall 2011 at the earliest.

And this is news why? Hasn't Nintendo been saying this for a while already?

The Mario figurine is not amused.

After Zelda Wii (finally!), Metroid and Mario Galaxy 2, what leaves us for 2011 ?
New console ? Wario Ware ? A new Mario game different from what we have?
Another "wii" title such as wii music 2 ?

2010 looks like the year for nintendo fans.

Well, there was that "leaked" news from Charles Martinet on his twitter about an awesome new Mario game in developmnet that is neither Mario Galaxy 2 or NSMBW.

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=100844

It won't be. I promise you. I can also promise you that it will be a solid, if not tired, game. Good fun, but not much new, I'm sure.

If I'm wrong, well, that's good news for everyone except the hardcore fans that have all that Zelda porn. If I'm right, at least you didn't have high hopes and can still enjoy a good game.

If anything is going to be groundbreaking, it'll probably be the next Zelda after this one. I can't imagine Nintendo doing anything revolutionary before it has to. They have surprised us in the past though...

Thank you Joystiq for watching Ninty News, so I don't have to suffer through it!

I actually quite like the name Ninty News. It sounds better than it looks on paper though.

Kirby Wii comes out as well as the trafecta, perfect year from Nintendo. Plus the Third Party Support this year is better than normal too.

Lol..........Rambling Rupees..........what? I found it funny........
Well if Nintendo manages to fit Mario, Metroid, AND Zelda all into this one year then i'll be damned. This looks like it could be Nintendo's year

nnngh stop teasing me damnit, I swear if this game or a trailer doesn't come out this year I will literally explode and destroy my Wii with a sledgehammer. Absolutely sick to death of all this false hope!

JIZZ

If they manage to do that I might stop playing my 360 for a while

Heh, he said "Blow-Hole".

I guess I'm gonna have to lock myself and a TV up in the bathroom for a week sooner than I expected.

massmass has a valid point. Nintendo has no motivation to do anything more than to keep up the status quo with a side order of enough flashy gimmicks to keep the fans happy. No one who hasn't bought any of the previous Zeldas is going to buy the next one. Not too many, at least.

All this stuff is great. Assuming Metroid/Mario/Zelda all come out when they're supposed to this year...
here's what 2011 will bring:

*Wii_____sequel
*A 'big' game with vitality sensor.
* Pikmin 3
* A new first party RPG
* 'new play control' luigi's mansion
-getting my hopes up- *Mario Party 9?

Don't forget the new Kirby game for Wii.
