New 'Zelda' to be released in 2010?

A Nintendo executive has suggested that the Wii's new Legend Of Zelda title will be released in 2010.

In an interview with Wired.com, Nintendo of America's Cammie Dunaway said that the company will have a good "back-half of the year".

"One of the things that's true for Nintendo is that we're not driven by a calendar for our release dates. When the games are ready to go, when the quality is perfect, that's when we release," he explained.

"We all benefit if we can keep a pretty steady pace, so the development teams have worked hard to make sure that we've got a full lineup this year.

"If you compare the first half of 2010 with the first half of 2009, it's night and day. And from some of the things that Mr Iwata has talked about, and that we will talk about at E3, like Zelda, you know that we're going to have a good back-half of the year, as well."

Nintendo recently announced the release dates for Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M.
