Quotes from Shigeru Miyamoto in the past have confused fans as to how long The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has been in development. In early 2008, Shigeru Miyamoto exapleind that “the Zelda team is forming again to work on new games”, before clarifying a few months later that a new project was already underway.

In any case, the first edition of Iwata Asks for Skyward Sword confirms that it has definitely been in the works for about five years. The discussion below also hints at some of the troubles the team faced – MotionPlus incorporation specifically.

Aonuma: I’m Aonuma, the producer. There have been all kinds of twists and turns since development began almost five years ago. Until completion of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, I talked with Director Fujibayashi about how we could take the project in a good direction, backed up the staff, and consulted with Miyamoto-san.

Iwata: You say that there were twists and turns, but I heard there were few detours this time compared to the last game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Aonuma: Well…

Iwata: You can’t say there weren’t any? (laughs)

Aonuma: Yes. (laughs) I can’t say there weren’t any at all. I thought I would talk about that today.

Super Mario Land director Yoshiaki Koizumi has expressed some interest in seeing older Nintendo games in 3D. When asked if there are any titles he’d like to remake, he said:

“I guess I can’t really say one title specifically because then the world will expect us to make it and I’ll get into a whole lot of trouble!

“I can say that I really would like to see a lot of those games that use 3D worlds on 2D display just so I could see what they look like in 3D and see what kind of different experiences people would have playing through them on a 3D display. So in that sense I would love to see Sunshine and both Galaxy games presented in 3D, and a lot of the Zelda [games] would be interesting too.”

Koizumi has already seen one of his wishes fulfilled: Zelda: Ocarina of Time is already out on the 3DS, and I’m sure we’ll see more from the franchise on the system in the future. I doubt Nintendo would port the Galaxy games over, though perhaps Sunshine is a possibility.

I might be more confused than ever now. I figured that Nintendo would deliver the typical “we don’t comment on rumors/speculation” line, but a representative has actually provided a statement that doesn’t rule out the possibility of downloadable GameCube games for Wii U.

Here’s the statement:

“To clarify the capabilities of the Wii U system: As correctly stated, Wii U will not play Nintendo GameCube discs. However, Nintendo has not made any announcements regarding downloadable content.”

I could see the Wii U having this functionality. It’s just a bit odd how all of this is unfolding. I’d like to have a concrete answer!
