We love the Wii. Its innovative control scheme, excellent graphical output, and capacity to carry nothing but the highest grade of software has certainly smitten the majority of us. Of course, the first-party titles are what really make the machine grand – and that’s why we’re excited about Colin Sebastian’s hunch that a new Zelda game will hit in 2009.
Sebastian is an analyst at Lazard Capital Markets. He’s not as popular as Michael Pachter quite yet, but it appears as though he is blazing a trail for instant Internet stardom. According to a recent investor’s note (via Gamespot), Sebastian cited 22 games destined to carry sales in 2009. One of those titles was an unannounced Zelda.
The key is that this is just speculation. At the same rate, the guy gets paid to make solid predictions. Will there be a new Zelda? We’ll have to see as 2009 kicks into gear.
