There have been a lot of mixed signals from Nintendo about whether fans should expect The Legend of Zelda Wii this year: First Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said the game was “not committed” to 2010, then Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said it was releasing in 2010, and then Reggie said on their “Nintendo Week” promotional show that it “had to be perfect” — the implication being if that means missing 2010, so be it.
And now, apparently, Zelda Wii is once again confirmed for 2010. On the latest episode of “Ninty News” (the British equivalent of “Nintendo Week”), they give Zelda a brief mention in a list of games “to get fired up about this year” (via Joystiq). The other games mentioned include Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, and Epic Mickey.
So how much confidence can we have in this latest confirmation? Well, “Ninty News” is an official Nintendo promotional show, so you’d like to think they wouldn’t get their official Nintendo information wrong. But until someone a little higher up in the organization confirms it themselves, excuse us if we don’t get our hopes up…again.
