At the E3 Nintendo Developer Roundtable, one last (possible) Zelda tidbit was pushed our way. When discussing Wii Music, Nintendo said they would make use of songs in the public domain when selecting musical tracks for the game such as “Yankee Doodle Dandy”, but they will include some licensed tracks. Which licensed tracks would come the cheapest to Nintendo? That’s right, their own. Considering at the E3 press conference, a (embarrasing) Wii Music demonstration used the Super Mario Bros. theme, I think it’s safe to say that there will be some Zelda music in the game.
Nintendo fans will also be pleased to hear that during this roundtable, Shigsy confirmed that a new Pikmin was in the works. So - after E3, you have your new Zelda, you have your new Pikmin, you just know absolutely nothing about them. Satisfied?
