IGN's secret Zelda news: Yes, it's delayed.

[CZroe]

Just hoping to help everyone else avoid the frustrating search I had to go through to get an IGNsider to confirm the bad news for me.
The story:
"Zelda News: The story you don't want to read"
Delayed until Feb. next year, after Miyamoto PROMISED by Christmas this year! :|

I wonder how you feel about DNF?

 

[LH]

And this is exactly why Xbox and PS2 will be the two dominate forces at E3, both will leave the GC in the dust. Both have several tricks up their sleeves, the GC really cant compete at this E3 with some of their top 1st party games slipping further and further back

 

[UberNeuman]

And yes, LH - you're stupid... Games get delayed all the time...

Here, lemme wipe the look of surprise off my face.

The GC is depending solely on its top 1st party titles this year, and most wont be coming out till Q2 03(just wait and hear). While PS2 and Xbox have several blockbuster games coming out, THIS year. The GC won't out do the Xbox in the US, certainly not the PS2..

Indeed. The GC no longer has a price advantage, and aside from ports and the occassional gaming equivalent of crumbs, it's getting next to nothing on the game front. All of Nintendo's brands (Mario, Metroid, Star Fox, Zelda...) are all running late, there seems to be no logic behind the modem delay (PS0 v.2 for the GC has been ready to go for like a month now), and third parties seem to be saving their best stuff for other consoles (i.e. Capcom, Sega...).

 

[CZroe]

The GC DOES have a price advantage, although not as much as before. It now costs $150 instead of $199

Who did he make the promise to? because it is still on track for a Japanese release end of this year.

 

[TallBill]

i hate it when a company makes sure a game is good before it is released...

 

[tallest1]

I can't believe people are still waiting for Zelda. Just get yourself Jet Set Radio or some cel-shaded clone and have twice the fun in half the time.

Which brings up a random thought: Paper Mario 2 should make everything look like Japanese manga comics now that would be innovative!

 

[Vortex22]

Well, well... look who totally OWNED at E3.

 

[AaronP]

bleh it doesn't matter, that stupid cartoony look to it turns me off so much that I won't get it. Also, the new 3D gameplay from N64 on has really turned me off, its overly complicated, and simply, not as fun as the old top down zelda, or even Zelda II.

 

[GermyBoy]

I wonder if the GC would do better if it only had Zelda games and Final Fantasy games? Now that would be really exciting!

Peace,

It better be delayed because they are redoing the graphics. It looks like @ss.

If it doesn't look as good or better than RE then forget it for me.
