New Zelda Game for Wii Has Been in Development for a Year
Plus! Dirty, filthy rumours on new Zelda for DS slipping 'til late 2007.
The latest issue of Game Informer has two Nintendo news titbits/rumours that SPOnG is currently attempting to get to the bottom of.
The first is that, fairly unsurprisingly, there is a new Zelda title in development for the Wii. What is perhaps more surprising is that Game Informer claims that the title has been in development for a year now. We have just asked Nintendo for clarification on this and will report back with our findings as soon as we get a response.
Secondly, and more worryingly, the mag claims that the DS game, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (pictured here) is now delayed until October 2007, due to a rumoured massive overhaul of the game. Again, we await full clarification from Nintendo and will report back as soon as we get it.
Right now though, let us give thanks that the Wii is finally here and that we can play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess till our little gamer hearts almost burst with joy.

They should spend a good few years making the next Zelda, maybe even skip the Wii altogether (I don't think the Wii will have the longevity of PS360), and make it for their next platform (hopefully in HD).

but on the other hand, Twilight princess wasnt a wii game in the first place, so this will the be actual proper wii Zelda. so they might bring it out at the end of the consoles life cycle. swan song and all. but again, they were going to do that with TP for gamecube... but then again, i dont think even nintendo loved the gamecube :-(

wtf is crazy? most of what people do on gaming forums is speculate about 'what is to come'.
so here I go.... I think the Wii will have a HD successor before the decade is out. There! :P

I really don't understand why the Wii won't have the longevity of the PS3 or 360. It will hold its own, but I don't see Nintendo releasing a new console in the near future. If anything, I see a new handheld before a console...
