As part of its outlook for fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, Nintendo has confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for Nintendo DS will be released “in the latter half of this calendar year”.

Nintendo also revealed it has designed the game to “appeal to a wider age group of people”. This slots in nicely with Nintendo’s strategy to “accelerate current sales momentum by changing consumers’ attitudes from “must-have for every family” to “must-have for everyone””.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks was announced during Nintendo’s GDC keynote earlier this year. According to Nintendo the concept behind Spirit Tracks includes utilising a steam locomotive to travel around the world, switching Phantom and Link to explore dungeons and solve puzzles using new items.
