Ive seen some videos, the X Y and Z buttons have english text next to it, and the speaking is in english, so i assumed they were finished with that. But the fact that it was going to be the very last gamecube game makes a lot of sense.
Well, that WAS the plan at E3 (I saw it on TV. Yay for me, since I live NOWHERE NEAR California.), but they might change that plan, since they're going to have a GameCube Kirby game that's more like the usual ones than Kirby Air Ride. In other words, expect more GameCube games after Twilight Princess.
I don't know where everyone got the idea that Twilight Princess was the LAST Gamecube game from. It's the last major Nintendo game for Gamecube. Which means Nintendo could make another GC game yet, but it wouldn't be anything like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc. Although I think the chances of them making any more GC games after this is slim. That doesn't mean that other people aren't still going to make GC games for a little while yet. Heck, we still have new GBA games coming out, and yet, developers have had the option to make games for the DS for over a year now.
This is true. Also don't forget how long the NES and SNES got their games released together.
Release dates don't mean much, esspecially for a big title and one from Nintendo. Besides, by now everyone should expect delays from Nintendo. They've been delaying things for a long time now.
Shouldn't this be under General Gaming Discussion or whatever that forum was called? I know this is Zelda related, but it ain't Zelda Classic. Anyways, I've heard the game gonna come out... :
1) April? (Highly doubtful, otherwise, news would have reached us)
2) May? (Doubtful, but possible)
3) Summer? (Hopefully then I suppose...)
4) Fall? (So explain to me how the release dates range from April to December, honestly!)

November, There's a thread in Gaming Disscussion (or whatever is called) about this.
No, Nintendo only delayed the game once back in September. They said that game will come out sometime after April 1st 2006. People starting saying that it meant Nintendo was going to release the game in April. But come on it is Nintendo, that means Zelda will be out in late summer early fall, first time I read that. Nintendo never said an April release, so they never delayed it again really.
Weird am I the only one that was thinking it was coming out in the fall when they said that? I mean it is Nintendo, you should have known. :P

Well, you have a point there. Nintendo HAS been known to postpone releases, and I know that well.

I just remember that they were going to release it by March 2005, then they delayed it to November 2005 and then to March 2006, and finally, to Sept-Nov 2006. �

Like... StarCraft Ghost?, yeah, I know that Starcraft is NOT from Nintendo. ƒ

No, I was talking about stuff like WarioWare: Twisted!. That game was delayed so people could enjoy WarioWare: Touched!.

They said that TP will be better than OoT!. �

Thanks VEL. �
No one ever said the game was going to be out by March/April 2005. Nintendo said sometime after that, and people jumped to conclusions. I'd expect a fall/holiday release, probably around the time the revolution launches, and maybe around when the ps3 launches.
News today, PS3 will be delayed until the 2006 holiday season: http://games.slashdot.org/games/06/03/06/123258.shtml - not sure if that means November or December or what, but it's possible Nintendo could launch before Sony.
Delaying Zelda is a smart move imo. Sure it is upsetting people now, but Nintendo now has time to add more content and to polish the game even further, so it will be much better than if it came out November 2005 like originally planned. Plus having Zelda ready at Revolution launch will surely help sell the new system since it is backwards compatible.

yes, the SNES and N64 come to mind...
I am anticipating this release, as I might buy Revolution when it comes out, then I'd have something interesting to occupy my time. (and that would be the first new system I've bought in years...)
The Nintendo 64 itself was delayed for quite some time. I remember people joking about how it was never coming out. And don't you remember how cool the Nintendo ULTRA 64 was? It looked so much cooler. And the analog stick looked so much better designed.
An unreliable source (hyrule.net I think) had April posted, probably just a rumor. November seems more set.
In Nintendo Power they've been having interviews with the people making Twilight Princess for months. In one interview (I'm not looking it up right now, I don't know where it is) they explained why they've been delaying it. Just like vegeta1215 said, it's because they can then add more stuff, you know, add details to make the game better. Fall sounds about right, cause I haven't seen a single advertisement, and there would at least be one advertisement on some channel.
The downside to all the delays (excluding the ticked people) is that hopes are rising higher and higher. There's bound to be some critic to screw the whole moment up when it does come out. But I'm not worried.^.^ :rude: to all you critics who take the fun away!
god damnit can't you people keep the discussion to one thread?

im ok with the delay, seeing as i sold my gamecube and all my games for some strange reason a while back. this will give me enough time to come up with $40 to buy a used gamecube. the game is probably going to cost me more than the system. go figure!
