Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disappointing, but I'd rather they did it right and took a little more time than release crap early.

Probably expected something like this. But not until April/May, like projected. Good news for me, anyway, is that they pretty much confirmed worldwide release, which means Australia will be getting it at the same time as everywhere else. Joy!

I, for one, am happy. Not that I want the game's release to be delayed any more than anyone else, but more than that, I don't want some half-assed crappy game being shoved out the door to meet deadlines. This is looking to be freakin' awesome, so I can wait.

COme on, I can't eb the ony selfish gamer on here XD

Seriously, I guess it'd be better if they waited for it to be perfect. The delays just kill me, that's all.

I've still yet to finish Baten Kaitos, X-Men Legends, and a few other games as well, so I've got plenty to keep me busy between now and then. You do too, jman. *cracks whip*

Like I said on PureZC...

At least it hasn't been cancelled. Don't jinx it. >_>

Yeah, I still have a lot of games to play as well, so the news doesn't bother me much. I'd much rather have them spend more time on the game so we get more dungeons and no fetch quests like The Wind Waker had.

I can code and play games. Remember, I'm 1337.

those screenshots look very badass...

and as far as the delay goes? you know people would by a gamecube just for that game (those that STILL dont have one, despite the uber low price [/fanboy]). oh well, better to wait for an awesome game than to have something short like Wind Waker.

I believe a quote from Miyamoto himself is called for here...

A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever.

And those screenshots look killer!

Yeah, they do. 😊 Sort of reminds me of morrowind. Some of those screenshots are exceptionally impressive, such as the town, village, and ones with special effects, ... Just outstanding. (From IGN)

I've never been disappointed by the results of a game being delayed. It's not worth fretting over. More people will like the game upon its release, and you can be proud to say that you have pwned it when you do.

Bah, OoT was delayed, Perfect Dark was delayed, SHUT YA FACES.

I will gladly wait. It was amazing at e3, and I can't imagine the improvements.

Besides, now Ill get work done during the school year :P

I don't think it's a big blow to Nintendo. Like any zelda fan WASN'T going to buy Twilight Princess, no matter when it comes out. Granted, they will undoubtedly have a weak christmas for the Gamecube. Although they probably don't care. The DS will probably have some christmas goodies.

This is no surprise to me, a postponed game means a quality game, something lots of other companies dont understand. Quality over Quantity, just like the good old days :P. I'm disappointed slightly yes but this makes me happier in the long run, It's not like I'm not going to be around in another year or two.

Like Beldaran said, this doesn't really change much of anything. And the DS seems like it would be the X-Mas item and possibly the PSP on Sony's side, and M$ would be the Xbox 360. Personally I think nothing is all that great for this holiday season that approaches. Oh well.

This kinda sucks, but I can live with it. ;O

At least the DS will have some good stuff this Holiday Season.

This sounds neutral to me. The x360 is going to be released this season anyway? Forget challenging that, just release in the next spring like Wind Waker. Nobody ever has a huge release in spring. It should be fairly profitable. Everyone next holiday season, if they want a new system, is going for X360. Thus, no money to be had from them.

Nintendo and Zelda fans will wait.

personally, I think they did the right thing. there's enough games coming out this winter for the DS, GCN, and PS2 to keep me happy even past the release of TP, and to have it delayed so it's even better, well, the only problem with that is I have to wait longer to play it

good things come to those who wait

Well, I dunno about this either. Nintendo seems perfectly content in letting the Gamecube be forgotten this holiday season. I can't think of too many people who give two shits about Super Mario Strikers, DDR Mario Mix, and Mario Blows Seven Shades of Shit Out His Ass. This holiday season is going to be a flop for them on the console side, and the industry will take notice. There really aren't any games in the near future for any console that appeal to me.

The DS will hold me over if I decide to get one (and in the event they decide to release the new SMB before Christmas, but I can't see them doing that. This is Nintendo, after all), but again, I fail to understand why they dropped the price of the DS, and made the price of the micro so high. Why in the world would I spend $100 on a inferior system that's been out for 3 years already when I could get the same thing, plus an entirely new library of games for $20 more?

If other companies can crank out quality games year after year, why can't Nintendo? They never cease to amaze me in their unorthadox business decisions.

Oh well, such is life, I guess.

I hadn't heard of a price drop before today, but you're right, starting in November the DS will be $129.99 - just in time for the release of Nintendogs. I still haven't decided when to get one. I was going to wait until the DS dropped to $99.99, but it might be a while before that happens.

As for the fall Gamecube lineup, I'm excited about the Fire Emblem game. That, and I'm still hooked on F-Zero GX (buy this game now! it's dirt cheap too!) and recently picked up Tony Hawk 4. They will keep me busy for a while.

I think Nintendo is focusing on their last hurrah here, their last few GameCube titles that will be big sellers. Though it might be a mistake not releasing the game during the holiday season, the game will be just that much better, given the few extra months of development.

However, my personal feeling at this point is, if they want to release such a high-class game towards the end of the system's life, why not screw the project on GameCube and move it to Revolution. As noted by IGN, the game would greatly benefit from what Revolution will have to offer.

And though I think the game looks amazing, and has some of the best GameCube visuals to date, I think Nintendo might be better off waiting even longer until Revolution's launch and sell Twlight Princess then. This way, they could pull off better, cleaner graphics and get rid of what I saw in these newest screenshots; fog and numerous in-town character models that look rather poor.

Those are just my thoughts though.

Because simply moving a game over the the Revloution hardware isn't as easy as it sounds. I doubt the hardware is even finalized yet. You would have to update all of the in-game graphics, rework the controls and such to be compatible with the Revolution, which would all in all take a lot longer than this game delay would. The quality would suffer in the transition, as has been the case for most games that have been moved up a platform (look at Eternal darkness, Animal Crossing, etc. They look like crap compared to games built from scratch for the GameCube).

I will personally go to NoA and NoJ and RIP THEIR THROATS OUT if they decide to release TP for the Revolution.

And anyway, I'm happy this holiday season with Fire Emblem Path Of Radiance <3

I heard this news the other day when I had to have my boss fill out some of my doctor papers. She say "Guess what?" Not the thing you want to hear in a game store, because you know what it means. :tongue:

I think for the games sake, its great. I think all companies should strive to make the game as good as it can, but a lot of games that are "suppose" to be good are going to be pushed to get out this holiday. *sigh* I'm fine with that, because I have a few other games I'd want to get, and I only have enough $$$ for so many.

On the down side, I agree with Orion, I think Nintendo has shot themselves in the foot this holiday season. People buy games for Christmas. If they don't buy games all year, they buy games for Christmas. And Twilight Princess is one of those titles that will be bought. I think profit could would be much better for Nintendo if it were in the holiday season.

It would be all good if Nintendo has some other games that are big, but they don't. And I'm not saying that they're not good, just that they probably won't stand up to games like the next Prince of Persia, True Crime, Kingdom Hearts or Tony Hawk Game. Just to name a few.

Fucking Awesome. Now it's pretty much confirmed that Twilight Princess won't be a rushed piece of shit like Wind Waker was.

Honestly, why does it matter in the long run? In the long run, the fact that it was a good game will overshadow any complaints about its release date.
