Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime has chosen to sidestep the news that the latest Legend of Zelda would release in 2010, instead claiming that fans should not expect the still-in-development Wii game to release until it's absolutely perfect.
"Right now it's still in development but the key message that Mr Aonuma and Mr Miyamoto are telling us is that it really has to be perfect when it launches," says the beefy boss. "That is what the fans are expecting.
"So for all the Zelda fans out there right now, I'd say enjoy Spirit Tracks and know that the Zelda title for Wii is going to come out when it's perfect."
Sounds like Reggie is preparing us for the inevitable -- the onslaught of delays that seem to accompany any good Zelda game. Perhaps we can expect the game to end up being delayed until it's brought out on the next console again.

always makes me think of "Duke Nukem Forever" also, the perfect game hasn't been made ever yet sooooooooooo many games have been released "When it's done" so it's a ridiculous line anyway...
I guess all we can do is cross our fingers and wait till its out.
Really looking forward to this, but I've got so many games in my queue already that a delay to next year won't be unbearable.
Yeah it's happening AGAIN! =[
the face of perfection
"Perhaps we can expect the game to end up being delayed until it's brought out on
the next console again."
Though disappointing and sad i can almost sense this to be true, *sigh*
So, yes, while I'm expecting them to do that, I don't want them to do that.
Really? Why, I wonder. You want more games sooner or do you like broken things inspite of themselves?
I'd believe it. Esecially with Other M it's not like they haven't filled their big Nintendo release quota.
I'd be on board for that theory, aside from the tendencay that a Nintendo first party product most often comes out technically airtight. Ever have a Nintendo first-party game lock up on you?
Anyways, I'm more apt to trust Aonuma on this one since he's, you know, actually working on the game and all. But anyway there's plenty of games coming out and already out that they can take as much time as they want to make this, as long as it turns out fun in the end.
You know, seeing as this game isn't FF6, Perfection is not a realistic target for it.
Aonuma said that Zelda wii will come in 2010, and it will be...
Given how long this new Legend of Zelda game has apparently been in development for, I doubt that Nintendo's development team will see a need to delay it.
Hell, I'd love the option to play this with a GameCube controller!
