Nintendo’s promotional trail for Super Smash Bros. is in full stride heading into San Diego Comic-Con. While they will be live streaming a Smash Bros. 3DS tournament, the bigger news is they have a few surprises in store. Generally that means some new announcements in regards to the game itself.

Anyone waiting impatiently for Zelda Wii U news is in for a disappointment. Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma was apparently going to talk about the so-far elusive game at Comic-Con, but scraped his plans due to not having enough time, according to an interview with a German game website translated by GoNintendo readers.

The people over at Gameswelt TV, a German video game news site, interviewed Eiji Aonuma. Some excellent followers of GoNintendo decided to translate the German interview, and something interesting popped up regarding Zelda U. Apparently, Aonuma had planned on announcing something worthwhile at Comic Con. He was not able to, however, because he had been working on a presentation for A Link Between Worlds.

“So my final question, are you already preparing a new announcement for the next E3, in 2014? Maybe a Zelda for the Wii U? How about this?”

“Actually I wanted to prepare something for my visits in Germany and New York, that I can announce. But I was so busy preparing my presentation of A Link Between Worlds, that I can’t show you anything “new” today. But you can enjoy my next announcement. As soon as I am back at my office I will start preparing something new that I can show.” — Eiji Aonuma
