Nintendo has confirmed that its main hope for Christmas, The Legend of
Zelda: Twilight Princess on GameCube, has slipped to 2006. The platform
holder says creative leads Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma want it to spend
more time in development, and said the result would be a "more enjoyable
gaming experience".
Despite the unveiling of its next-generation Revolution console and a new
iteration of the Game Boy design, Twilight Princess was arguably Nintendo's
biggest draw at this year's E3 conference in Los Angeles, and news that it
will miss the end of the year is likely to be viewed as a huge blow for
Nintendo.
In a statement released worldwide this morning, Nintendo said: "Our
development team has decided to take extra time to add some incredible new
elements to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. As a result, the game
will now launch in 2006 globally. We recognise there may be some
disappointed fans; however we firmly believe this additional time will
result in a more enjoyable gaming experience."
In order to try and lift dampened spirits, Nintendo released seven new
screenshots of Twilight Princess to accompany the statement.

Zelda Delayed to Next Year
Twilight Princess development team requests extra time to make it a better
game.
by Matt Casamassina
August 16, 2005 - Nintendo announced this morning that its anticipated new
adventure game, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, has been delayed.
The title, formerly scheduled to debut this November around the world, has
since been postponed to 2006 so that the developer can continue to make the
game better.
"After much discussion, the Zelda development team has requested extra time
to add new levels, more depth and even higher quality to Zelda: Twilight
Princess," said Nintendo of America's vice president of corporate affairs,
Perrin Kaplan. "Consequently, we're announcing a new global launch in 2006,
after the conclusion of this fiscal year (March 31). We'll provide a
specific date at a later point in time. While this may come as a
disappointment to many eager fans, it will absolutely enrich the game and
make it a multi-million seller."
Twilight Princess, developed by Nintendo and directed by Majora's Mask
overseer Eiji Aonuma, was previously set to be the company's big holiday
game. In fact, analysts expected the game to be Nintendo's single greatest
deterrent to consumers potentially interested in Microsoft's next-generation
console, Xbox 360, which is set for a November launch. The delay leaves
Nintendo without a major holiday release on GameCube.
In the epic adventure, a 17-year-old Link travels across a gritty, realistic
world and is able to move into an alternate dark land called the Twilight
Realm, where he transforms into a wolf. Twilight Princess won a number of
considerations by critics when it was presented in playable form at the
Electronics Entertainment Expo. However, even then, members of the
development team hinted in interviews that they would have to work overtime
in order to meet a holiday release.
Nintendo has released seven new screenshots of the game in motion. Readers
are directed to our images section for new shots of Link exploring a
populated town and manipulating the snow as the wolf.
Stay tuned for much more on the game in the coming weeks and months.
