• Zelda Wii is Going to Come Out When it_s Perfect, says Reggi

  Messages from Nintendo about the next Zelda game on Wii have been a bit schizophrenic, with indications being early on that it would follow close to the series formula but later quotes indicated Nintendo was trying a new structure.

  Similarly, Nintendo has also given mixed messages on whether or not the game will be releasing in 2010 or not. Today, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime gave a more subjective milestone for when the Zelda title will release.

  "Right now it''s still in development but the key message that Mr. Aonuma and Mr. Miyamoto are telling us is that it really has to be perfect when it launches. That is what the fans are expecting,” said Reggie to Nintendo World [thanks CVG]. "So for all the Zelda fans out there right now, I''d say enjoy Spirit Tracks and know that the Zelda title for Wii is going to come out when it''s perfect.”

  Shigeru Miyamoto is a well renowned perfectionist, having pushed back the release date of games in the past for quality reasons. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess had a few significant delays, though turning the game into a Wii launch title probably factored into those decisions
