According 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!
