We've all heard about the rumors for the fabled Zelda Wii. It's really starting to annoy me in many ways. For starters, we have websites that have conflicting rumors, so we have no clue as to what is true and what isn't false. Recently, someone online released a set of photos that appear to be a mod of either The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess or The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. In addition, some report the interface to be based upon fan artwork from some works. However, it has been confirmed by Nintendo that they will be presenting both Zelda Wii and Super Mario Galaxy 2 at E3. Most likely with that time set, the amount of rumors is most likely to increase until E3. I would not be surprised if the amount of rumors drop severely when Nintendo proves them wrong within the next several months.
This graph I randomly threw together seems to be true. This was actually true in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, in which the title was announced when the Wii came out; people started making rumors and "leaks". Then, at that point, Nintendo decided to release an E3 video and several videos after that to show how they're doing, which sparks more rumors. Then, the title is released in Japan, and everyone goes crazy and looks for it in Japan with things like ROMS or plot details. Then it is released in the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia, etc. It is then that some people decide, "Rumor time!" and end up trying to theorize a sequel for a next game until one is either announced or not announced. I really don't like this; this is more of a rant than anything, but after getting a message from G4 Mobile Text saying that Nintendo will announce SMG2 and Zelda Wii and after seeing all the fake rumors and "leaked" images, I had to say this.
