[quote author=IGN Wii]January 6, 2010 - You are now less than 365 days away from a new console Zelda game. Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata confirmed to Japan's Asahi Shimbun daily today that the Wii Zelda sequel, first revealed at last year's E3, will be released this year.

Iwata was pretty open for this particular interview. He also revealed that Nintendo will be announcing Vitality Sensor games in July, with an aim to release product as soon as possible (not very specific, for sure, but better than nothing!)

DS also got some mention. Actually, make that DS 2! Iwata told the paper that a successor to the DS would require high resolution visuals and sensors for detecting player motions.

He wouldn't share a time frame for the successor's release, though, instead pointing to the DS's success in 2009. According to Iwata, 2009 was DS's best year ever in North America.

Zelda, Mario, and Metroid in 2010? Seems like a lot for one year looking back at the previous years. :p

DS2 sounds great since its not just a redesign this time.

And I could really care less abou the Vitality Sensor. :p
 
Darn it SuperZambezi. You beat me to the topic. :p. I got hyped up about this when I read it a couple of hours ago in a different website, but I immediately logged off because I iiihad to leave. But yeah, I knew that a brand new DS was coming because of their recent agreement with a nVidia to put their chip into the next DS. Finally they reveal more info on the truth.
 
Hate to break it to you guys, but these are only rumors. Iwata did say a possibility that a DS successor would use the Motion Sensor, but we don't know if it will either be released this year, or if it's even a Zelda game at all. It could be the long awaited "Kirby Tilt 'N Rumble 2".

Plus, Reggie stated that Zelda Wii will not be released in 2010, but rather, "when it's perfect".

Also, 2chan posted a long "leak" of what the game is about. But be warned, THIS IS ONLY RUMOR. Take this with a grain of salt.

Zelda Wii is most likely the next installment in the series, and estimates say it should be out either this year or next. While Nintendo has done a great job at not leaking really anything concrete about the game itself... rumors are still rearing their head. Now, normally I wouldn't post about a rumor because most the time it's just that, however there is some reason to believe the rumors we have inside. They come from a popular japanese message board called 2chan, which is somewhat similar in style to our english based The Site That Shall Not Be Named. What is interesting about rumors at this Japanese site is more often then not they turn out to be true. Not willing to believe that? Well lets look at what 2Chan has leaked over the years that turned out to be true.

First off, they were the first people to break the news and story for every single Kingdom Hearts game ever made, long before it was publicly released. They released all the news for Metal Gear Solid 4, Resident Evil 4 and 5, and pretty much every Square Enix RPG ever made. Interestingly enough, back in 2003, they also broke The Wind Waker's story roughly two months before release, and no, prerelease copies were apparently not out yet stateside. So the question needs to be asked: If the community there has been right so many times with rumors, then why can't they be right this time around?

* The game will be vary from the dungeon field dungeon method we are accustomed too (nothing new, Eiji Aonuma confirmed that last year).
* You will be able to select right or left handed at the start, and Link will be left or right handed based on your selection
* The gameplay and basic mechanics are complete.
* They are currently polishing up the story and Characters.
* One of the characters they are working on is a innkeeper in Link's home village who has a son that looks up to Link.
* The girl in the art is not the Master Sword, and it appears the Master Sword will not be in the game.
* The girls name from the painting could possibly be Adelle, Adella, or Aderu.
* She is not with you throughout the game like Ezlo and Midna.
* The face in the painting of her is not her real face. It's not fully elaborated on much, but it does say that it was a place holder concept art piece.(assuming the entire art itself was just concept work)
* Link's sword is highly unique in this game, and will have several unlockable abilities. Adelle (or whatever her final name becomes) communicates with you through this sword.
*
* There will be horseback combat. Epona will avoid obstacles automatically.
* The models for 3 significant characters in the game have been touched up, but no they are not Zelda or Ganondorf. (google translate gives rough names of Link, Gorons, and Epona, but our translator said it's not specifically mentioned)
* The idea of this version of Link also being The Hero of Time has been highly considered, and may already be implemented.
* Time travel plays a roll in the game.
* The game takes place in more then just Hyrule, and may possibly not be Hyrule at all.

So there is a lot of stuff to digest there. Again, remember to always take this with a grain of salt, but the fact it comes from a place where so many other rumors turn out to be true does make you wonder. The Hero of Time's return could propose a sequel to Majora's Mask, meanwhile time travel returning makes since if it's the same character. Could also explain the statement last year from Nintendo that this is the oldest Link yet. The fact the game could also be more then Hyrule, or a new land all together, could play well into the follow up to Majora's Mask. If you recall, Link was on a journey to find a lost friend, presumably Navi, so who knows where that may have lead him.

Ok, first off, Reggie doesn't know all of the facts for most of Nintendo's creation's, since they are kept secret from outside of Japan. So Reggie at the moment is pretty clueless on these things right now since Nintendo EAD works things in private. Now, Iwata did say that people misunderstood him, but didn't say that they weren't developing anything along those lines. And maybe the Zelda Wii games will be released this year, but in Japan, since that's usually when Zelda Games first get released, so Reggie might be right about the US release date, but wrong about the Japan release date.

And with my piece of information, I put "APPARENTLY" which doesn't necessarily mean fact. 
 
If Reggie doesn't know anything about the game, then how would he correctly predict the release date or year for it? It's not like he can read minds.

Also, Nintendo EAD doesn't keep every single game secret. Mario Galaxy was pirated out of Japan way before it's release date, with it just showing it's BETA stage. So yeah, it's not like a top secret Organization. :p

He just predicted, there's no hard proof on his predictions. And what I meant by Nintendo EAD keeping things private, I meant that when they are in the beginning of development of a game, it's not known of it unless they say it to the public. So they only say things unless they want to say it to the people.

And I hope Nintendo really gives out more facts on the DS successor, because if it wasn't real, then they would have said "no, it's not real"

They haven't really hinted that they were developing a DS2, they only said what they might put in a new DS successor.

Which is most likely the Motion Control feature used in Kirby Tilt 'N Rumble.
