Zelda: Twilight Princess Delayed
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."
"A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is bad forever."
If Z:TP is being delayed until after March 31, 2006, and the Revolution is supposedly launching after March 31, 2006...what are the odds of Nintendo coming out and saying "Just kidding, this was a Revolution title all along. Oh yeah, and please buy the Revolution" or something similar? At any rate, I'm pretty disappointed.
TWILIGHT PRINCESS SHEDS NEW LIGHT
I've played some games lately that had the potential for greatness (the most personally annoying for me being Vampire: Bloodlines) where it was obvious at some point that the developers ran out of time.
A quote something like this was attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto "A game delayed may eventually be good, but a bad game released is bad forever." I'm glad he's taking his own advice.
"MIT betrayed all of its basic principles."
On the contrary, I think this proves that they're not feeling desperate - otherwise I think there would be a tendency to just rush it out without the extra polish.
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.
Sounds like it, given the game you mentioned doesn't exist.
Wind Waker is a reminder that a bad game from Nintendo tends to be better than most other companies' good games.
