Aonuma once again says Nintendo aiming for “early 2011” release of Skyward Sword

“The basis we have now is very, very solid. Early 2011 – that is what we’re aiming for.” – Eiji Aonuma

This isn’t anything too different than what we heard coming out of E3, but it’s nice to see another confirmation that we’ll be able to play the game early next year. If I had to guess, I’d say Skyward Sword will launch sometime between February and April.

As a huge Knicks fan, I was very disappointed that LeBron James decided to join the Miami Heat. But on the bright side, we were able to sign Amar’e Stoudemire! That’s better than nothing, right?!
