They haven't yet, but it's been confirmed that at least one new Zelda will be made for the Wii.

I'm moving this now. There's no need for it to be in the S6 forums

Now rumors about Suikoden VI (or some other Suikoden title) being announced for the WII is being spoken in some Japanese game sites. Either this is a very good fake rumor, or there's some substance to it. Either way, we have to wait.

If Suikoden does find itself on the Wii, I wonder if it'll be a full-fledged installment or another tertiary release a la Tactics or Suikogaiden. On one hand, Konami's history with the series makes it kinda hard to imagine Suikoden VI being anywhere other than the PS3; on the other hand, PS3 games are (on average) incredibly expensive to produce, and as much as we all love the series to death, Suikoden might not have the audience and visibility necessary to justify that cost. Which is where the Wii could suddenly become an attractive option.

Additionally, something on the level of Suikoden VI (regardless of what that level is exactly) could be A Big Thing™ to the folks over at Nintendo Power simply because the Wii isn't exactly overflowing with RPGs at the moment. Of course, that means that just about any other known quantity in the genre qualifies for such a statement. Maybe it's just Chrono Trigger on the virtual console, or a port of Phantasy Star Universe, there's no telling how minor this could unfortunately turn out to be.

Personally, my money's on a sequel to Quest 64. You heard it here first!

How are the spin-offs tertiary? Seem pretty secondary to me.

If I had to place money on this, I would place it on it being a Tales of... release or a Dragon Quest release. Tales would be big as it's arguably the biggest and best known RPG on the Gamecube (with only Skies of Arcadia really rivaling it, and I don't think a sequel is likely there), if not a huge player overall, and Dragon Quest as, well, it's either the biggest or second biggest RPG series, and with one installment already heading onto the DS, it could just be a big article on Dragon Quest: Swords (IIRC), a side-game already confirmed for the Wii. And there's no guarentee in there that the game isn't a first-party one, either, in which case a new Zelda or Mario RPG (either of which could be highly likely given both of the series latest installments were developed while on the Gamecube and then ported to the Wii) would definately be a big fish story.

I think on the whole people are a bit too hasty in anticipating Suikoden VI. While I would like to play it just as much as the rest of you all, I really do think it will be a while before it comes out. Niche games like Suikoden really do need a very large audience before they come out - remember how long the wait was between Suikoden II and Suikoden III? Also, RPGs take a long time to develop and if you're waiting to see which console will be the RPG player's choice (which will take a while as it takes a LONG time for RPG games to head onto the market, and even more so when most of the developers are skittish on which platform to go for) as Konami very well may be, we might have a bit of a wait ahead for us.

I'm of the "believe it when I see it" mindset. Perhaps Nintendo recognizes the value of a title like Suikoden more that Sony does, and truly considers its acquisition to be a big deal. If that's the case, hype like this can only help the series. I don't know what's going to ultimately happen, but one this is for certain... I'm really looking forward to that issue of Nintendo Power.

I'm betting on a FFXIII for the Wii or possibly Zelda.

The only that would make me speechless like they are acting it would would be a Chrono or Xenogears sequel. Not going happen though. :(

Suikoden VI? Maybe, maybe not. I hope it is though, releasing it on the Wii would be the best way to promote the series and ensure its continuation.
