While last we heard, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime was giving us the old “No comment” about the release date of the upcoming Zelda game on the Wii, Nintendo of EVERYTHING president Satoru Iwata thinks otherwise. In an interview with Japanese newspaper Asashi Shimbun (which Kotaku have kindly translated), Iwata claims that the game will be out by the end of the year. No words on what territories he’s referring to, but Zelda games generally launch at roughly the same time worldwide.

In the interview, he also mentions very vague details about what the next DS will do and when it will be released – guess he can’t give everything away!

So, with luck, you’ll all be playing the next big-budget Zelda title this winter. And I don’t think anyone will complain with that!

You can read Kotaku’s article here, if you’re interested.

They have to continue the twilight thing they goin’ on.

>implying they didn’t say the same for every game ever

HOLYCRUDHOLYCRUDHOLYCRUD!

Hey, don’t spaz out LC……..

Yeah, I should have pointed out that it’s unwise to rule out a delay.

heh, sorry. i’m excited about this, but i was holycrudding something else.

What?

Well, I has just gotten back from Avatar, which is the best movie ever, and I found out that the third book in a series that i like was coming out this year, plus something else that I forgot, plus this all compiled into a big “holy crud”.

And what was your motivation to spam it here to people who probably don’t care?

hey, this news was included! but sorry anyway.
