The announcement that should have been in the conference with more details has been revealed by Miyamoto in an interview. He has confirmed that a new Zelda title is in the works for Wii and confirmed that it will be different than other Zelda titles, as the rumors have said. Here’s what he had to say about the title…
“The Zelda team in particular always works on Zelda titles. The core members of the Zelda team have for a very long time now been focused on Zelda games, and continue to focus on Zelda games, so they are hard at work and working away. And then, of course, we have the DS Zelda team as well, so even there we’re having some switching of people in and out where the DS team is mixing in with the Wii team and working on the Wii version.”
When asked about if the new Zelda will be in first person, Miyamoto responded with the following…
“I don’t necessarily think it will change that drastically, but I think that Zelda is a franchise that does need some big new unique ideas. And so the team right now is very focused on trying to find those ideas.”
It’s good to finally have official confirmation of a new Wii Zelda title. I thought I’d celebrate this announcement with the above picture of a shiny gold Zelda Wii.
