New Zelda Coming In 2009, Says Analyst



Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets [http://www.lazardcap.com/] seems pretty sure that a new Zelda game is coming in 2009, listing it as one of 22 games that could drive a 5 percent growth in game sales in the next year.

In a last Peach game [http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6202650.html] was on the DS and not really that big a deal. If this one warrants inclusion on a "sales boosters of 09" list, could it be a full-fledged Wii game for Peach?

Sebastian's in good company: Michael Pachter of confirmed [http://www.wedbush.com/] some time ago that new Zelda and Mario games are in development, but have been coy about when they'll come out. Since Twilight Princess wasn't really a Wii title or a GameCube title, there has yet to be a real Zelda on Nintendo's highly lucrative Wii, leading many to believe that a new Zelda, built from the ground-up for Nintendo's number one money maker, is on the way.

Sebastian also made mention of another of the game industry's biggest franchises: Grand Theft Auto. Unlike Zelda, however, GTA won't be seeing any new iterations in the coming year, according to Sebastian. ""Looking ahead to 2009, we expect mid-single-digit growth in software sales on a tough growth comparison and potentially fewer hit titles (e.g., no GTA V until 2010)," Sebastian wrote.

Predicting a new Zelda from Nintendo is like predicting the sun will rise in the morning. Minus the Aztec's trying to provide it with human hearts.

Good god no, I haven't finished absolutely hating Twilight Princess yet.
System requirements for Zelda: Twilight Princess:
A Wii.
A Wiimote.
A Wii nunchuck.
CLAIRVOYANCE.

You've obviously never played the original ;)
TP really wasnt that hard. I'll be so bold to say that it was possibly the easiest in the series. Except for the damn water and sky temples, I got through the game without too much trouble. I didn't even need to go to gameFAQs. Unless you skipped texts and cutscenes, then I'd imagine it would be pretty hard.

Weren't they claiming they were going to actually change up the genre for the next one like with Majora's Mask? It seems like Nintendo always alternates between experimenting with a franchise and then just doing same old, same old.

Technically she's a maguffin. A mary sue is a different thing.

Hmm, I wonder what they'll try this time. Survival Horror? I can see it now Resident Zelda: Return of the OoT Redeads.

Well, I dont think MM was so much a genre change as it was a radical dissension from the traditional Zelda formula.

But of course. And theres the secondary benefit that they're also sacrificing virgins.
At least they wouldn't run out too quickly... I'm sorry, that was mean.

Brought to you by the investment firm of No, Shit, and Sherlock?

There's ALWAYS a new Zelda game, nearly every year/two years, like clockwork.
