Zelda: Twilight Princess Delayed

Posted by Zonk on from the is-this-it? dept.

Hyrulist writes "Nintendo has announced that its biggest game of the year, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is delayed to 2006. IGN.com has the story. From the article: 'Twilight Princess, developed by Nintendo and directed by Majora's Mask overseer Eiji Aonuma, was previously set to be the company's big holiday game. In fact, analysts expected the game to be Nintendo's single greatest deterrent to consumers potentially interested in Microsoft's next-generation console, Xbox 360, which is set for a November launch. The delay leaves Nintendo without a major holiday release on GameCube."

    This was pretty much the only thing I was looking forward to on the Gamecube.

      He was marked troll because that's what happen to people who make posts critical of Nintendo on slashdot. It's a long-running, well-known and wide-spread problem and, short of (extremely unlikely) admin intervention to remove moderation rights from the accounts reponsible, it's unlikely to go away.

      Too many people think that moderation exists just to promote the views they believe in and silence the views they don't. Too many people also believe that if they moderate down enough posts critical of Nintendo, they'll get free goodies in the post or something.

    I think i just smoked a big crack rock not to post this anonymously but i didnt like any zelda game after a link through time.

    Mayby this will be different, if you delay a game that means it has the potential to be good, mayby they should apply this idea to the revolution.
