Aside from efforts like The Conduit and the Resident Evil 4 Wiimake (no, we couldn’t help it), Nintendo’s Wii hasn’t exactly enjoyed a glut of capable FPS titles. According to a recent interview with games[TM] (via NowGamer), Zelda director Eiji Aonuma recognizes this — and sees great potential for fixing that problem in Link’s Crossbow Training, the pack-in minigame included with the Wii Zapper. “To tell you the truth, I actually wanted to create Link’s Crossbow Training 2 … I thought that we should do something more and better in the field of the first-person shooter.” Wait, haven’t we heard this before?
Unfortunately for Aonuma, the execs above him at Nintendo didn’t think much of the idea, nixing it in favor of a completely new entry in the Zelda series. ” I was thinking that maybe we could intensify the multiplayer mode … [but] a lot of people inside Nintendo insisted that I should work on a new Legend of Zelda title.” We’re sorry about that, Mr. Aonuma! And to the Nintendo executives who killed a sequel to Link’s Crossbow Training, we’d like to personally thank you.
