It's coming out in 2010! Not necessarily! Yes it totally is! No, it so totally may not! Nintendo has certainly played with the hopes of fans over the last few months about whether their new Wii Zelda would actually release this year, and now Nintendo of America executive vice president Cammie Dunaway is the latest to very nearly confirm it will.

Speaking to Wired during the Nintendo Media Summit earlier this week, Dunaway seemed to suggest Zelda is indeed scheduled for release this year while touting Nintendo's strong lineup for 2010. "If you compare the first half of 2010 with the first half of 2009, it's night and day," Dunaway said. "And from some of the things that Nintendo president Satoru 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."

Moreover, when Wired's Chris Kohler -- who evidently wagered Mario, Metroid, and Zelda would not all release in the same year -- jokingly asked if he would owe Dunaway "a steak dinner" soon, her response was, "I think you do."
