Amazon lists Zelda and Mario Kart for Wii U

Listings for brand new Zelda and Mario Kart games for the Wii U just popped up on Amazon. Does this mean these titles are closer than we think?

With new consoles from Sony/Microsoft likely to come out in 2013 it isn't surprising that Nintendo may bring out their big guns to combat those launches.

Nintendo stated last two weeks ago, a new Zelda game would not be released until 2014. So my guess is an HD collection.

mrbojingles4217d ago

Really? Can you shoot me a link to that statement? I hadn't heard.

Here is just one link to the 2014 date..there are more this was just the first I saw so I posted...It states the new Zelda game "Is just too big" to be done by 2013. So that is good and bad news.

"According to Wii U Daily, Nintendo is preparing to release another Hyrule adventure in 2014"

Wii U daily is not Nintendo. While it could be right, you shouldnt take the word of anyone but the developer on when it is coming out.

ChickeyCantor4216d ago

Besides, Miyamoto wanted smaller development cycles.

rodiabloalmeida4217d ago

A new Mario Kart and a new Zelda game for a new Nintendo console. How surprising, isn't it?

PopRocks3594217d ago

Oh look, a new Halo on an Xbox platform.

Oh look, a new Killzone on a new Sony platform.

It goes both ways. Or in this case three ways.

mrbojingles4217d ago

I don't think he was necessarily bashing Nintendo for being Nintendo, just stating that it isn't a surprising move.

Where did the Xbox/PS stuff come up?

PopRocks3594217d ago

I see people attack Nintendo for things the other guys are just as guilty of from time to time. Sometimes I feel it's necessary to point it out. This is was one of the instances where I jumped the gun lol.

mrbojingles4217d ago

@1UPGAMER

That link you posted uses Wii U Daily as a source and they are terrible with rumors. I heard their Zelda rumor about a month ago and it's complete speculation. I don't dislike the speculation itself but don't take anything they say as fact.

I wanted a link to Nintendo actually stating it was coming 2014, and infact there is no timetable for Zelda. Could be 2013, 2014, or even 2016 for all we know. But there is no real evidence that 2014 will be the year.

1upgamer994217d ago (Edited 4217d ago )

Although I am not saying your wrong. I stated that that was just one link stating 2014...Gamespot says the same thing and so do others...I just didn't want to post all of them so I picked the first one. Nintendo Just started Making the Zelda last month. I am not going to dig the link up BUT here is Gamespots. http://www.gamespot.com/new...

mrbojingles4216d ago

Once again, I don't mean to be a party pooper but GameSpot uses that same Wii U Daily as a source so it has no more validity.

But 2014, yea that seems most likely for Zelda. Do I want it asap? Of course but I know I have to wait.

Unless they decided to flesh out that E3 2011 demo into a full game (and even then I think the demo was just a boss from Twilight Princess) but I'm willing to take a Wind Waker HD remake in the mean time

stragomccloud4216d ago

Well, since those games will come out no matter what, I can't say that I'm surprised. They are probably just making placeholders for when Nintendo does actually announce something.

DivineAssault 4216d ago

Amazon just knows that its coming eventually because Nintendo does em with each console.. Not hard to figure out actually.. But for this to be listed before a 3DS version is just stupid.. Zelda will come to 3DS well before wii u gets one.. So theres going to be a pretty long wait if the 3DS ver hasnt even been announced yet

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno72d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic103d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon103d ago (Edited 103d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast103d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul103d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

Zelda Fan Brings Godzilla to Life in Tears of the Kingdom

A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.

Knightofelemia141d ago

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
