At E3: New Zelda Will Be a Wii Motion Plus Exclusive!

Nintendo’s Eiji Aonuma told Japanese video game magazine Famitsu that he’d like to have something on the new Zelda game for Wii in playable form at E3 in June.

The new Zelda game is expected to launch before the end of 2010 and Im sure there are millions of gamers out there that will jump onto this game as much as they did the last Zelda (Twilight Princess).

Gamepro reports:

While it’s by no means a confirmation that the game will actually be shown, Nintendo’s Eiji Aonuma, the producer on the still unnamed Zelda sequel for Wii has said that he’d “like to show something playable” at E3 this year. He stated that “we’re doing everything we can to have people play the game as soon as possible.”

Nintendo remains cagey about release dates and any confirmed details on the game. In January, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime had said that, “right now it’s still in development, but the key message that Mr. Aonuma and Mr. Miyamoto are telling us is that it really has to be perfect when it launches. That is what fans are expecting.” Around the same time Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata confirmed to Japanese newspaper the Ashi Shimnun that the game will release “by the end of the year,” though gave no further details.

Update: According to Japanese gaming news site Andriasang, the game will be Wii MotionPlus exclusive. “After making it compatible,” the site notes Aonuma saying, “it just feels so natural. Link’s sword and the controller that you’re holding become one.”

The E3 expo runs from June 15-17 in Los Angeles this year.
