Nintendo Non Commital on Zelda 2010 Release

zelda-2010-fat-chanceAccording to Kotaku’s Luke Plunkett, Nintendo’s North American President and COO, Reggie Fils-Aime, wouldn’t commit to a 2010 release of a new Zelda title during his recent Q&A session with GameTrailers TV host Geoff Keighley, stating:

“We haven’t committed to Zelda in 2010″

I must admit, I watched the same video earlier today, however I lost focus around the part where Reggie said that the New Super Mario Bros. would “absolutely” outsell Modern Warfare 2. At that point, I thought my time would be better served doing something more productive like holding my breath and counting to one thousand. This proved to be only marginally true.

As for thinking a new Zelda title would be released in 2010, I’m with Luke in saying that’s just “stupid”. You can’t realistically expect to see a title released next year when it hasn’t even been shown off formally yet. We need time to do things like pace back and forth. Sheesh!

    I’m not surprised at all to hear this, it might come out in 2010, and it might not.

    Either way I want it to just come out when its finished, and not rushed. If that means 2011 that’s fine with me, next year has Galaxy 2 and a new Metroid.
