What do you think the countdown will turn out to be?

If you haven't heard about it, there's a countdown on the Marvelous Entertainment website, where you see a clock with a triforce in it ( Link: http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/game/30/) . There's a similar countdown going on in the Sega website. This one shows a mushroom (reminding of Super Mario), and both countdowns end at about the same time (if not exactly the same, I'm not sure). So this is very hardly a coincidence, and the fact that they both relate to arguably the two biggest Nintendo franchises is also an indicator that these are not just two separate countdowns that don't have anything to do with one another. People have said that the Triforce is not uniquely related to Zelda, but that it has some other meanings in Japan. But, this is the gaming world, and in this world isn't the triforce more or less = to Zelda?

What do you think this will turn out to be?
Vote.

I'll leave this open since a poll on the subject would be good to have.

I'm thinking MM for VC.

Re: What do you think the countdown will turn out to be?

I'm still on the fence if it's a Zelda game or not. As previously mentioned, for those who haven't read the other thread, the clock-thing has a triforce on it, and we've been deliberating if that's just a coincidence, or it actually means something for the Zelda franchise. Since the triforce is renowned for being a Zelda symbol, it is that, and only that, of which makes me suspicious of it being a Zelda game. (Also the fact is that, if it didn't have the triforce, then it probably wouldn't even have been brought up to other people's attentions).

I am suspecting it is a DS game. The graphic is nice, but doesn't look 'serious' enough to be put into a Wii game. It has a more DS-like feel. Also, Nintendo is very unlikely to get another company to do a Wii Zelda game, over a DS Zelda game. Since they've had 3rd party people make Zelda before, but only for handhelds. The Zelda team in Nintendo itself feels the greater responsibility for the Wii Zelda. So if it WERE a Zelda game, then it'd definitely be a DS one (or that's my opinion).

Another thing to note, and this is all under the assumption that it is going to be a Zelda game, is that if it were a port, a download, an edition of some previous game that has already existed, then I doubt they'd go through the trouble of having a countdown to a REVEAL of the game. It just seems too special for something that's already been released. Not to mention, the fact that we've never seen this clock-thing before in a Zelda game. While other games use a time-concept, it's really too open-ended to have a solid opinion on WHAT it'd be.

But I'm still on the fence. I say it could really go either way on this one.

In the end, I'd say we'd be pretty surprised, whatever it is.

Re: What do you think the countdown will turn out to be?

I'm missing options here, for example it may turn out to be a smaller Zelda for WiiWare or DSiWare. Voting "Zelda Wii" sounds way to big and it's a fact, that Nintendo theirselves are working on the next big deal for the Wii, so no third party involved and definitely not a teaser by a third party developer/publisher.

If it is a Zelda game and I doubt that, it's going to be released either for Nintendo DS, WiiWare or DSiWare.

Re: What do you think the countdown will turn out to be?

Sega has had trouble with its own franchises lately. Just look at how much criticism Sonic the Hedgehog has gotten. They actually thought it would be okay to make Sonic slower by turning him into a werehog. Why then, would Nintendo let them do something with Zelda or Mario?

Sega is NOT doing the proposed "Zelda" game. It's Marvelous Entertainment that has the countdown with the Zelda-like clock. It is NOT Sega.

Re: What do you think the countdown will turn out to be?

Eh, I cant say for certain.

Using the Triforce symbol is very....interesting, since that symbol is widely known to be related to Zelda for those who have an interest in video games. Yet at the same time it seems like another one of those things that are too good to be true.

Exactly. Why I'm not pulling my hopes up... and I'm just having fun speculating rather than hoping and praying.

Re: What do you think the countdown will turn out to be?

When Nintendo has a 3rd party company make a Zelda game, it's usually on a handheld isn't it?

Basicly. OoT, MM, tWW, TP are ALL made by Nintendo. And not a 3rd party.

Re: What do you think the countdown will turn out to be?

It's probably not going to be an annoucement for Zelda for the Wii. I bet Nintendo will annouce that at this years E3, hopefully.

I do beleive, concerning Zelda Wii, it will be at the very least be announced this year. When? I have no clue? Where? No clue either. But it will be announced.

All we gotta do then is cross our fingers for either Q4 of 2009 or Q4 of 2010. Because it really feels like a holiday release to me...
