Reggie: Zelda: Skyward Sword is not the last great Wii game

Based on remarks made by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently, it doesn’t sound like the Wii U will be ready until late 2012. That means the company will have to support their current console with software for one more year. Surely Nintendo has more software on the way for Wii, right?

According to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, there is more to come for the system. In an interview with Brazilian gaming site “UOL Jogos”, Fils-Aime said that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword won’t be the last great Wii title.

Fils-Aime was asked what’s next after Skyward Sword:

“More good games. Many people ask me if ‘Zelda: Skyward Sword’ is the last great game for the Wii and the answer is no. Let’s talk about upcoming games for Wii in late December or early January.”

Right now we are aware of two significant Wii titles that Nintendo will publish in North America next year: Mario Party 9 and Rhythm Heaven Fever. Europe will also be getting The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower. It’ll be interesting to see what else may come our way.
