Zelda: Twilight Princess Confirmed For Fall

Also worth noting is the fact that he confirmed, for the 500 billionth time, that the game will be released for GAMECUBE and NOT for Rev. Not that anyone listened the past 499 billion times, nor will they listen now.

This can be very bad news. We’ve already seen how “disruptive” nintendo has been with the success of the DS and the popularity of Nintendo Wifi.

This is all hypothetical, but Sony, realizing that it will be drastically undersold by a system that has generated a great deal of buzz, has put off on releasing the ps3 in the spring as expected. Without Nintendo in the picture, they would have happily entered a subsidizing war with Microsoft and emerged victorious as far as market share is concerned. However, if Nintendo manages to ride high on its current crest of popularity and cultural relevance, Sony will be left plunging a tremendous amount of money into a ludicrously expensive system that may lose crucial market share (necessary for driving down cost) and the support of developers who would rather make games for the more profitable Revolution. Of course, Sony will always have their main partners to rely upon, but developers periphery to Sony’s circle of friends may jump ship and help turn the tide against Sony.

I believe that Nintendo, realizing that Sony will not be releasing the ps3 anytime soon, have decided to hold off on releasing the Twilight Princes–a game undoubtedly capable of destroying any ps3 launch hype–until a later date, but not so late that the fans will outright reject the game. Afterall, Nintendo still has Microsoft to worry about and, right now, time is on Microsoft’s side as they are currently guaranteed at least another 6-7 months free of competitoin from any other next gen consoles. That means that the 360 will have been out for nearly a full year before any competing systems are launched (a luxury previously enjoyed by the Dreamcast).

Sony’s indefinite hold on the ps3 will lead to further delays of twilight princess as Nintendo uses the time to polish the game, but it’s very unlikely that Nintendo will release both the Zelda game and The Revolution within weeks of each other. The sales of the Twilight Princess would cannibalize sales of the Revolution. Furthermore, it’s hard to bundle the new Zelda title with the Revolution because, as a Gamecube title, it will do little to show off the Revolution’s capabilities and establish the Revolution as being seperate from the Gamecube . This means that a delay in the release of The Twilight Princess will undoubtedly mean a delay in the release of the Revolution. An October release of The Twilight Princess could keep us from seeing the Revolution (here in the States) until next Spring.

I also don’t own a GC (anymore) and I also plan on purchasing Zelda: TP and Rev on launch.

Is there a specific release date for TP?

Brain hurts .. can’t comprehend .. 2 1/2 months till E3 .. can’t think about it till then ..

Just keep in mind that everyday the game is not in production (making CD’s and cases) the game is improving, fixing glitches, adding new code and overall becomeong a better game.

Also keep in mind they are also working on the Wind Waker with the same engine for all us people who reserved the game.

If I had to wait another year to have a perfect Zelda game…and a remake of Wind Wakeer…I would wait. Just be glad its WTF 2006, not WTF 2006-2008.

Thank You

sorry i dont have time for a hard core sorce but here is this link

When I preordered at gamestop the owner fo the store told me they are revamping Wind Waker adn adding 3 new dungeons. It would have the same graphical style (textures and partical effects) of TP.

This would be much like geting the 4 zeldas in one cd with preordering Wind Waker.

I hear it around. Ill find a better source soon.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I guess i can kill myself now…OH WAIT

TP is still coming out and I still have the original wind waker..

ok im better now.

Thanks for clearing that up

Zelda Universe

TP will be gamecubes swan song. I think TP will come out a month or so before Rev. Also, Nintendo has not denied that ZeldaTP will have rev features, only that they havent sed anything about it.

So if you cant get the Rev you will still be able to play zelda TP, but if you do get the Rev you will have added features. Either way it will sell the same amount of TP and maybe sudgestive sell more Rev’s.

Either way Nintendo will have a very good fall…and so will I.

According to these dismal debates, it appears that neither the Revolution or Twilight Princess will hang out in my living room until fall.

And you know what that means.

Yep.

It’s gonna be another Super Nintendo Summer, baby.

Nintendo is going to get a TON of attention from retailers this Autumn. It’ll be nice for a change. 😛

This has sealed one deal for me: when I’m caught-up on GameCube games I’ve missed, I’ll be playing a lot more DS games until TP comes..

Agreed .. I have yet to see a link to video of this nor can I find it on YouTube or Google Video. Anyone actually see this for themselves?

The new zelda game will be released for both Revolution and Gamecube. It will be released for Revolution on 11.19.06 it will then be released for gamecube on 12.12.06.
