Hey there Zelda fan’s! I just found an interesting scoop about the new mysterious Wii Zelda game coming out next week. As it turns out, the new game will be supporting the Wii Motion Plus. During a Tokyo Q & A session with Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Zelda and Mario, he says:

In this [installment of the series], we’re using MotionPlus to make you feel much more like you’re actually fighting while holding a sword in your hand.

Also he states that Motion Plus will improve the games targeting system:

In the previous game, you aimed at things by pointing at the screen, but this time we’ll use MotionPlus to create a much more convenient targeting system and a more pleasurable playing experience.

There is still very little information on the game, and even with all this new information we still have no solid idea of when this game is going to be released. We do know that it wont be anytime soon. Reggie Fils-Aime the President of Nintendo America, has said there not setting release timeframe for the game and that,

We haven’t committed to Zelda in 2010.

This truly blows for Wii owners looking for the next Zelda experience, which looks like it won’t get released until sometime in 2011, but have no fear, Miyamoto has expressed interest in pushing for release in 2010. So hopefully Reggie doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

    This information is a bit conflicting:
    "Hey there Zelda fan’s! I just found an interesting scoop about the new mysterious Wii Zelda game coming out next week."
    When compared to this statement:
    "This truly blows for Wii owners looking for the next Zelda experience, which looks like it won’t get released until sometime in 2011, but have no fear, Miyamoto has expressed interest in pushing for release in 2010. So hopefully Reggie doesn’t know what he’s talking about."

    So what is coming out next week?

    lol its a major typo its supposed to "Hey there Zelda fan’s! I just found an interesting scoop about the new mysterious Wii Zelda last week."

    Its cool, lol, all is forgiven. I was super excited for the first 2 seconds of reading then I was like oh wait their must be a typo. I only commented out of denial that it wouldn't be released until 2011 or 2010. Thanks for the clarification though.
