Nintendo Dismisses October Zelda Launch

Posted by Zonk on from the we-can-dream,-can't-we? dept.

Nintendo is dismissing rumours of an October launch for the newest Legend of Zelda title as nothing more than hearsay. From the GamesIndustry.biz story: "We haven't announced any potential release dates for the new Legend of Zelda title. Everything published to date is entirely speculation and we hope to announce more about the game at E3 in May."

    Maybe by then they will have another "breath-taking" video to show? This game is probably the only game worth playing on the Gamecube short of the Metroid titles.

    It really disappoints me and my fellow Zelda fans that this title has been announced, renounced, re-announced and then delay, delay, delay. What is the deal here?

    Maybe you're getting this game confused with the Space World demo that was shown before the gamecube launched?

    I guess I am. I am talking about the game that Nintendo said was "already in development" right before the Gamecube launched. They promised to have it released shortly after the GC was launched. It never materialized.

    Instead we get some POS cell-shaded kiddie game.

    Then last year hope resurfaced as clips from the original demo had been resurrected and built into a new demo that debuted at E3. I figured they were referring to the same game in this article as I haven't heard of any other Zelda announcements.

    Nintendo announced at GDC that this is not the sequal to wind waker, but that they are working on it, and keeping the cel shaded style of WW

    Use it as an excuse for one game, but then get all the other ones. If you like RE4, you'll love Eternal Darkness! I have a PS2, Xbox and cube and I have had the most fun with the cube even though I've bought the least amount of titles for it. XBox and PS2 has just been the same derivative garbage over and over again.

    Hint books? I didn't read past that since you launched with an unprovoked and unwarranted personal attack. I'll assume the rest of your post is apologies and spin. You Nintendo defenders are all the same.
