Nintendo Moves Back, Shuffles Release Dates

Posted by Zonk on from the hope-you-weren't-waiting-for-that-zelda dept.

Press the Buttons has commentary and release dates, now that Nintendo has released their Fall release plans. Frustratingly Metroid Prime Hunters, Mario Kart DS, and Animal Crossing DS have all had their release dates moved back. From the article: " Q1 2006: Metroid Prime Hunters from Nintendo. Bad Nintendo, bad! This game has slipped down the calendar so many times it isn't even amusing anymore. First it fell from a June 2005 release down to August, then to October, and now it's dropped into next year. Here's hoping they're using this extra time to add online multiplayer support, because if not a lot of people are going to be even more disappointed."

    I just hope they don't release it too close to the release of Duke Nukem Forever.

    That game is supposed to be amazing, and I'd hate to see Nintendo get scooped.

    This plus the fact that they pushed back The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (did that even get a slashdot cover?) to spring 2006 makes me a very sad Nintendo user right now. I even preordered Zelda.

    I think I'll go make some soup so I can cry into it.
