    Its going on the next gen Ninty console for sure.

      For what it's worth, I still refuse to believe that the Wii U will become the first Nintendo home console to not have an original Zelda title on it.

        How about Metroid? Or (since its creation) Animal Crossing? I still expect we'll see Animal Crossing but it seems weird there seems to have been no mention of it yet.

          Well, ok, we could debate all day about the merits of Skyward Sword, and the reasons for any problems that might or might not have flat-out ruined it and made it totally unenjoyable from start to finish, but Wind Waker is clearly unfinished because there is a dungeon that is blatantly missing. In Zelda you collect three MacGuffins after beating three dungeons, then there's some kind of game-changing event, then you do around seven dungeons. That's the rough Zelda formula. In Wind Waker, they just GIVE you the third MacGuffin. There is an obvious dungeon-shaped hole in the plot at that moment. That's inarguable. The game is great, sure. But it's unfinished. If getting the new Zelda this year means a final product like that, I'm glad it's been delayed until next year. Does seem like it might end up like Twilight Princess though, on current and next gen systems (although it seems like EVERYTHING is on both systems these days anyway, so I guess it's moot).

            They should just play the Pokemon MMO trump card. 25 million extra hardware sales guaranteed, at least.

              Surely if Wii U versions were going to happen, they would've by now?

                Next Metroid will be a free to play android exclusive.

                  I honestly don't know. No doubt Zelda is the bigger title but these still stand out as a pretty huge symbol if the Wii U becomes the first Nintendo console not to have them in some form. It would also mean that it does not go beyond the realm of possibility that a Nintendo console will happen without an original Zelda, be it the Wii U or some other one. I reckon AC suits the portables better but still part of me thinks it would be really weird if the Wii U doesn't get it.

                    The Nintendo 64 didn't get Metroid, did it?

                      Fair point, but Metroid and Zelda really aren't comparable franchises in size at this stage.

                          Bitch as much as you want but I finished it on hero mode taking no damage at the final boss. The game works perfectly well.

                            Metroid was planned for n64 iirc.

                              This, yep. Been saying this for years and the lack of one is either laziness or arrogance, because anyone in their right mind would of made a proper, home console, 3d bells and whistles Pokemon rpg by now, except for Nintendo. Absolute morons.

                                I'm guessing the answer is hell yeah but does Pokemon still sell in the ridiculously huge numbers it always has?
