on Mar 10th 2011 7:30PM60
Speaking to IGN on the current state of the Wii -- which has seen few first party releases lately -- Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime admitted that the company has "pushed out some Wii launches so that [Nintendo] could focus on our handheld business." Fils-Aime was referring to the launches of Pokemon Black/White and the 3DS, saying that Nintendo is "already juggling two big balls" and that adding more to the company's plate would have proven "a little bit challenging."Fils-Aime reassured Wii owners that "there's content coming, and we'll be sharing more, certainly, in the weeks ahead." He added that there will be new content released before E3 and that there will be "more news" revealed at the expo this June.
Finally, Fils-Aime teased The Legend of Zelda's impending 25th anniversary, which was briefly mentioned by Satoru Iwata during Nintendo's GDC keynote earlier this month. "All I can tell you," said Fils-Aime, "is that it will be different than what we did for Mario, and it will be just as special." If it's anything other than free ocarinas, we'll be disappointed.

Oh, yeah Reggie. Pokemon black/white was so hard to make with it's originality and all. And if it didn't get marketed, who knows how low the sales would have been. Reply

Posted: Mar 10th 2011 8:14PM mau64 said he said the 25 anniversary of Zelda will be "just as special" as compared to the 25th of Mario. All they did for mario was release the SNES game on the disc with an artbook and soundtrack CD. They didn't bother updating anything, didn't even the buttons on the main screen still resemble a super nintendo controller? I'm hoping they give more treatment to Zelda with whatever they are planning. Reply
Posted: Mar 11th 2011 1:14AM Art84 said @mau64 I hope for Zelda that Nintendo gives us more than a few Zelda games. Reply

@mau64 i was confused by that, too. it won't be like Mario 25th anniversary, but will be just as special? that collection was crappy and not very special. Reply

Posted: Mar 10th 2011 8:40PM thevoid said Wow so Wii only has one big game this year? That's kind of sad. Reply Posted: Mar 10th 2011 10:05PM A Sandwich said @thevoid If you really think that it's going to pan out like that, you're kind of dumb. Why would they announce anything big until after the 3DS launch? Just wait until E3, little pumpkin. Reply
