New Zelda Wii Not 'Committed' to 2010 Yet

For a company that's long been notorious for delaying their games, is it any surprise to see they'd be cagey about committing to anything so early in a project's development? Speaking to Geoff Keighley on the latest episode (http://www.gametrailers.com/episode/gametrailers-tv/77?ep=77) of GameTrailers TV, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was very deliberate in not setting a release timeframe for the new Legend of Zelda (http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3171340) in development for the Wii. "We haven't committed to Zelda in 2010," Reggie elusively said. Keighley clarified that Miyamoto has so far said the game is "tracking" for 2010. "That's what he said, and we'll see how that continues to develop," retorted Reggie.
He did, however, reconfirm that Super Mario Galaxy 2 (http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3171273) and Metroid: Other M (http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3171275) are committed to 2010, so that's at least two big titles to look forward to next year, Wii fans. And looking more toward the immediate future, Reggie also made a bold challenge to Infinity Ward: He predicted that New Super Mario Bros. Wii (http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3171254) will outsell Modern Warfare 2 (http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3170250) on Xbox 360 by the end of the holiday season.
"Absolutely. I say that unequivocally," Reggie proclaimed. He did issue the caveat that they'll only compare sales of Modern Warfare 2 on the 360 and not the 360, PS3, and PC combined for this unofficial challenge, but it's a rather bold claim nevertheless. "Let's take it all the way through the January NPD data -- yes. I'll put that stake in the ground."
We're just going to pretend there's a secret million dollar wager between Nintendo and Activision at stake to make it a little more interesting.
I want to get this game, Cannot ait for the next Zelda game.
