The Damned Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 http://kotaku.com/5441242/report-new-zelda-out-by-end-of-2010-first-ds-successor-details?skyline=true&s=x Wow. That seems kind of quick. Maybe it's because we just got Spirit Tracks, but even without it, it's only been, what? Three years since Twilight Princess? That's a little soon considering the average release period for the series. But OK, no problem, I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 They can make the game so quickly because they're reusing Twilight Princess code and stealing the plot from that fan movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoForte Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Zelda, Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid in the same year. Awesome! But knowing Nintendo Zelda is probably gonna be pushed back till 2011~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 That's a little soon considering the average release period for the series. Zelda games are usually given release estimates around this time, and then delayed another year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquid wind Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Zelda games are usually given release estimates around this time, and then delayed another year or two. yeah, given delays this is actually right on schedule although if you'll remember MM was made pretty quickly because it reused the engine, it's not impossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'm really doubtful we'll see 3 major Nintendo titles in the same year, and Zelda will probably be delayed into 2011 if anything. Here's to hoping though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinewav Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP, I'm not listening to your pessimism, go away , NUH NUH NUH NUH NUH. It ain't pessimism, it's a highly probable guess based on historical facts... assuming that it isn't reusing the Twilight Princess code, and it's a full blown Zelda console game (not DS or spin-off and/or minigame collection.)

JCvgluvr Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 When will the Wii Motion plus support be announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsx100 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 When will the Wii Motion plus support be announced? It was announced a long time ago. http://wii.ign.com/articles/994/994637p1.html Anyway, if the game does make 2010, I hope the quality doesn't suffer seeing as 4 years seems like a short development for a completely new (not using the same engine) Zelda title. Unless they started before Twilight Princess was finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 It was originally going to be an N64 title, but then the GameCube come out, and they started re-doing it, but then the Wii came out... My god, that would be impressive if it turned out to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Taucer Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 hmman incarnation of the master sword. INTERESTING. This.... actually frightens me and makes me quite pessimistic about the game's quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'd worry more about the fans. Why? Because half of the Zelda fanboys will be talking about how the personified Master Sword is obviously a girl and thus it makes her and Link a love interest, leading to disturbing rule 34. The other half will carry on their pathetic fight about timelines and yell at anyone that even looks in their direction, taking it as a personal attack against everything they know undunderstand. Sometimes I wonder if it's not time for a total "betrayal" of the series, such that it makes the worst fanboys leave forever. Then after they're gone, it goes back to being good, and the remaining fans can enjoy it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Man, I have no idea what this game is going to be like. It has motion plus, and, well, it's probably going to come out in 2011. We've been through this before. And I don't mean that in a bad way, I mean it in a sincere way. Oh, and about storylines - Well, I consider all Zelda games different retellings of the same story. Do that, and you'll be a happy Zelda fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poke'G Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Oh, and about storylines - Well, I consider all Zelda games different retellings of the same story. Do that, and you'll be a happy Zelda fan. That's quite a stretch for games like Link's Awakening or Wind Waker. Anyways, until more info comes out, I'm not that excited. I'm expecting Twilight Princess with a gimmick ala Majora's Mask (Ocarina of Time with a gimmick). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziellink Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm not interested anymore in the Zelda series anymore. All they do is copy OoT, and upgrade the graphics. I'm not blowing my money anymore on games that i played over ten years ago. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm not interested in the Zelda series anymore. All they do is copy zelda 1 from the old nintendo system, and upgrade the graphics. I'm not blowing my money anymore on games that borrow and reinterpret the gameplay style like many other games that I have played over ten years ago. :S This could be said of a lot of games in retrospect. Castlevania/Metroid/Metroidvania, Megaman, Devil May Cry/GoW, Resident Evil/Silent Hill/other horror titles to name some... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castlevania/Metroid/Metroidvania, Megaman, Devil May Cry/GoW, Resident Evil/Silent Hill/other horror titles to name some... True, but i feel Zelda is the worst of them all. While the series you mentioned are guilty of doing it too, i can say for Castlevania, DMC and RE that they have done something different over the years, and always have a different protagonist, or take place somewhere else. With Zelda, i REALLY feel like i'm playing the same game over and over again. Couple of dungeons, scary twist, Master Sword, more dungeons, boss. Again, it can be said for a lot of series. I'm just saying that I've got the feeling that Zelda is the series that hardly tries. Same thing i had with Mario Sunshine and Mario 64. It's same shit, different day, honestly...

Unless they started before Twilight Princess was finished. You were being sarcastic right? Because four years is considered to be anything but a short development cycle even when doing a game from scratch with a new engine. Plenty of talented developers manage to do just that in less time. I'll get excited if Nintendo decides to make a game other than Ocarina of Time this time around. Unless it's on the DS anyway. I could do without ever using the touch screen to control everything ever again after Phantom Hourglass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 On that note: http://www.destructoid.com/zelda-wii-has-been-in-development-for-a-long-time-160083.phtml Zelda Wii might end up having a six year development period if it comes out for/around Christmas 2010. Is that long enough for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar of Justice Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Sometimes I wonder if it's not time for a total "betrayal" of the series, such that it makes the worst fanboys leave forever. Then after they're gone, it goes back to being good, and the remaining fans can enjoy it again. I vote they make a God of War style game where you play as a Ganon lookalike character who uses the Triforce of Power to brutally rip apart Zelda's iron fist rule of Hyrule using the Triforce of Wisdom with Link as the commander of her armies of tyranny. It's called The Legend of Zelda: Queen of Death, as Zelda rules from Death Mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 No way. We need a game where you play as Zelda/Sheik, and use all sorts of magic and ninja skills to overcome puzzles and enemies, with the whole world being a single, open level. Sheik could hurls needles and use her chain to Spider Man around the levels (also have wall-crawling, maybe. See? Totally Spider Man), while Zelda could cast devastating fireballs and tornadoes around, and maybe use a magical sword of the royal family (not the Master Sword, though). The goal would be to save her kingdom from Ganon, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want to see a Metroidvania prequel to OoT where you play as the young and noble Ganondorf on a quest to save his people. ffffffffff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
