There have been a lot of mixed signals from Nintendo about whether fans should expect The Legend of Zelda Wii this year: First Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said the game was "not committed" to 2010, then Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said it was releasing in 2010, and then Reggie said on their "Nintendo Week" promotional show that it "had to be perfect" -- the implication being if that means missing 2010, so be it.

And now, apparently, Zelda Wii is once again confirmed for 2010. On the latest episode of "Ninty News" (the British equivalent of "Nintendo Week"), they give Zelda a brief mention in a list of games "to get fired up about this year" (via Joystiq). The other games mentioned include Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, and Epic Mickey.

So how much confidence can we have in this latest confirmation? Well, "Ninty News" is an official Nintendo promotional show, so you'd like to think they wouldn't get their official Nintendo information wrong. But until someone a little higher up in the organization confirms it themselves, excuse us if we don't get our hopes up...again.

One thing we can be certain of is Zelda Wii will get its big reveal at E3 in June, so hopefully this will-they-or-won't-they-in-2010 narrative will get a conclusive ending there as well.

Oh don't worry it will get delayed till Nintendo's next system comes out.

I'm in no rush for the game. I haven't played through Twilight Princess yet, and I have a ton of other games I still need to play.

I played a bit of TP and it didn't impress me enough to play through it. The parts with the wolf were kind of tedious. Otherwise it was pretty cool.

I really just wish they'd take it back to the original Zelda. Walking through woods of all different colors fighting scary looking monsters(at least they looked scary in the booklet), blowing up walls and burning down trees. Finding your way through labyrinths with cracked walls and dark rooms. It had so much mystery back then. I guess it still sort of does, but they're just making things too sleek and not as fantastical.

Amen brother.

I'd love to see a Zelda game again that is just plain fun. Who needs all the crazy bells and whistles.

You guys need DS systems.
