In comments made to Japanese newspaper The Asahi Shimbun, president of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, has seemingly confirmed that the next instalment in the Legend of Zelda franchise will be available by year’s end.
In a wide-ranging interview, Iwata spoke about some of Nintendo’s goals for the coming year, such as expanding the number of DS WiFi hotspots in Japan in order to better facilitate the publisher’s ability to allow DS owners to use the handheld in a wider variety of ways in everyday life.
To celebrate reaching their 200th issue, videogame print magazine Game Informer has compiled a list of 200 games that they feel are the best that the game industry has to offer across all platforms, from past classics to recent smash hits, based on not only the experience that the games presented upon their original release, but their impact on the industry as a whole.
Right at the top of the list is the original NES version of The Legend of Zelda, followed by Super Mario Bros. (also on the NES) and Tetris (the 1984 PC version, to be specific).
The list also includes entries to the Grand Theft Auto, Doom, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Call of Duty and Metal Gear Solid series, amongst many, many more.
The full list of Game Informer’s top 200 games follows below:
Earlier in the week Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that a new Zelda game for the Wii is currently in development. Miyamoto made this reveal at a developer’s roundtable conference, but unfortunately Nintendo did not allow any of the people present to take pictures of the concept art for the new Zelda game.
Nintendo has since released the concept art which you can enjoy below.
Despite Nintendo revealing no fewer than three new Mario games (New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story) as well as a new installment in the popular Metroid franchise (Metroid: Other M), most fans were still not happy with the publisher’s E3 press conference last night. The reason has something to do with a rather well-known yellow-haired lad that resides in Hyrule kingdom with a fair princess.
And while many of the big names of Nintendo were on stage during the press event (Reggie Fils-Aime, Satoru Iwata and Cammie Dunaway), the presence of one famous man was sorely missed by most.
