E3 2008: Zelda and Mario games for Wii confirmed, Zelda project for DS |
Ó
Nintendo had a lot to offer us during their E3 press conference, including new details on Animal Crossing: City Folk, the new Wii Speak Peripheral, and even the long-lost Wii Music. Still, the event felt a little... lacking. Where in Zelda's name is the Twilight Princess sequel!?
During the conference, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata made a lacking-in-elaboration comment that new Mario and Zelda games are indeed in the works, but wasn't really generous with the details. The man Shigeru Miyamoto though, was a bit more accommodating.
At the end of the conference, various groups were able to get a hold of him and ask a few questions about the new projects. Miyamoto remarked that the games are indeed in the works, but it takes anywhere from two to three years to finish developing them, which may explain why they chose not to elaborate on it during their press conference.
Miyamoto explains that Nintendo intends to release a second Zelda title on the Wii, as well as more Mario titles. He also revealed that there is a Zelda project for the DS as well:
The Zelda team in particular always works on Zelda titles. The core members of the Zelda team have for a very long time now been focused on Zelda games, and continue to focus on Zelda games, so they are hard at work and working away.
[...] And then, of course, we have the DS Zelda team as well, so even there we're having some switching of people in and out where the DS team is mixing in with the Wii team and working on the Wii version
Looks like we may have to wait until next year to find out more about these projects.
