*cries* Just like every other Zelda game, Twilight Princess is going to be delayed. As some might know, Ocarina of Time was delayed a full year =/ On the plus side, at least it's not being rushed out the door like a certain sequel to a certain XBOX game.
And the DS is getting a price drop from $150 to $130 US just before Nintendogs hits. This was rumoured a few days ago, and now it's official. Makes me wonder how that guy gets his info because he predicted the XBOX price drop too O_o
Game Boy Micro will be released on September 19th. For those who don't know, GB Micro is a version of the GBA. It's 2/3 of the weight of an iPod and almost the same size. It only plays GBA games, not GB and GBC. It has the brightest screen of any GBA. It also has removable faceplates (like a cell phone).

Nintendo this morning announced that they have delayed the much anticipated GameCube title, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, until after the current fiscal year, which ends March 31 of next year.
Yes, you read correctly. Twilight Princess will not be in stores until April 2006, at least.
"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. [b]"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."
This leaves Nintendo without a big holiday title, as Twilight Princess was going to be the game to go up against the PlayStation 2 lineup and the launch of the Xbox 360. Nintendo now has to rely on Pokemon XD and perhaps smaller games such as Super Mario Strikers, Mario Party 7, Odama, Fire Emblem, and Batallion Wars to compete this holiday season.
We'll bring you any new information as it's released.[/b]
