NEW ZELDA: LoZ : Spirit Tracks (Tentative title)

I'll have to see the trailer, but if it's anything like Phantom Hourglass, I have no interest.

I found a pic of the title:

Urgh, you guys beat me to it =[

From the sounds of it, its going to be disapointing. I'll wait for some footage.

Where does it say that it will work for any DS?

Whoa. We don't know very much yet!

A Cel- shaded zelda is never disapointing.

Like I said, I'm pretty sure the idea that it will "work for any DS" comes from the fact that DSi was mentioned absolutely nowhere in the announcement video.

I guess, there will be some exclusive DSi features like downloadalbe content or similar stuff. But I don't think, a DSi will be mandatory.

Well, and like I thought, they're releasing another DS Zelda before the next big Wii Zelda deal. Phantom Hourglass engine works fine and a creating new a game for it is done much faster than a completely new game for the Wii.

Why can't any page upload pics/video already??

No joke. >_> People are already dissing it and putting it aside before we even see some footage on the gameplay. You guys are really something.

That's my hope, actually, that this little DS game is just to tide us over while the team continues to work away at the big Zelda Wii title.

EDIT in dany the dot:
I'm not dissing it or setting it aside (yet)--this snarky cynicism is simply how I guard against disappointment. xP

10:09 a.m.: Iwata wants to satisfy longtime Nintendo loyalists. Nintendo DS game. New Zelda game. Link is riding in on a train. Wind Waker style. Awsomeness supreme. Link is able to direct a sidekick character, an armor-clad warrior, with the stylus. Fights huge crab-like boss. It's called The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Will be available later this year.

Direct from IGN.
So it seems that Link is going to have a playable sidekick.

Well I hope so.

The PH engine is okay. But traveling on the train is said to be like sailing in Linebeck's ship, that much similar. That's probably going to bug me, but oh well.

Nowhere, I'm just being optimistic, plus there was absolutely no mention about it being DSi exclusive. So, just put those two together and the assumption that Ninty wouldn't screw over the millions of Lite users our there - and I'm pretty confident that it will be universal, unlike Snap.

hmmhm... interesting...

Oh and also *hypehypehype*

Oh, so it is coming out this year? I hadn't seen that yet.

So Zelda is keeping to its tradition of releasing a game every year still after all.

This announcement will keep us occupied 'til we get Zelda Wii

indeed, a very clever idea from iwata...

I'm annoyed that none of the news sites have actual pictures from the trailer.

Another thing I noticed.. the PH and ST logos look quite alike.
