Isn’t it nice to see a Zelda game grace the cover of Nintendo Power once again? I’m not too sure that the magazine will have anything new on the title, but it should be an interesting read nonetheless. Perhaps we’ll see Skyward Sword on a cover later this year…

Thanks to Jake for the tip!

Now that Tales of the Abyss 3DS has been confirmed for North America, Nintendo fans can continue to wonder about a different game in the franchise, Graces F. Back in February, Namco Bandai shared encouraging news that the title will be brought overseas, but didn’t say much anything about the Wii version. The status of the Wii edition is still up in the air, though Makoto Yoshizumi told Nintendo Power that we’ll be hearing more about the game soon.

Q: At the time of this interview, Tales of Graces F has been announced for Western release, but no platform has been specified. Is there any hope for the release of the Wii version?
A: You will be hearing more about Tales of Graces F very soon.

This information comes from Satoru Iwata…

“I now regret that we didn’t tie up with someone outside the company to market the Wii. If we had done that, the fate of the Wii might have been different. Now I am aware that we should not rely too much on ourselves. You will see what I mean by this when we market the 3DS and the Wii in the future.”

Iwata’s statements are somewhat vague… so that makes things a bit confusing! Some people believe that he was referring to working with third-parties to produce content for the Wii, though that isn’t entirely clear.

This information comes from Satoru Iwata…

“The new ‘Rhythm Paradise’ game we showed you in our Financial Results Briefing in January will be available this summer. I tried out a near-final version of the game, and felt that this ‘Rhythm Paradise,’ playable with a TV monitor, never loses the uniqueness of the original ‘Rhythm Paradise.’ In contrast to ‘Wii Remote Plus Variety’ I introduced before, this game is intentionally designed to be played only with buttons. We have sharpened such different attraction of both titles that we believe that you can have a totally different kind of fun.”

Button-only gameplay is perfectly fine with me! There are many cases in which motion controls aren’t necessary, and I believe Rhythm Heaven Wii is one such example. Now, let’s hope Nintendo announces the game for overseas territories…

This information comes from Satoru Iwata…

“…Furthermore, an already announced new title from the ‘Kirby’ franchise, ‘Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’ and ‘JUST DANCE 2,’ which will be localized by Nintendo for the Japanese market, and the other new titles currently unannounced will be ready to be launched within this year. Before the launch of the Wii successor, we will be aiming at creating other excitement for Wii in Japan, which has a large installed base of Wii hardware.”

We’ll definitely get a few new Wii game announcements at E3. Project Cafe is still far off on the horizon, and there are only so many games that Nintendo can localize for North America/Europe… Japan needs some titles, too, of course!
