Impossible.

Well, not impossible, but as close to impossible as you can get without acually being impossible...

[KamiKaZe]

Well it does look very far along...and the trailer DID say "coming soon".... Who knows?

[peasantlover]

Ive already got it (import from Japan)... its awesome..

[KamiKaZe]

*sniff* What's that smell? Oh, it must be BS.

[Viper]

I almost guarantee you guys that is the pre-order date.

[fishbonetaher]

^ the game willl not have amazing pre-orders unless it is accompanies by some form of bonus

Funny at EBGames how they have right under that that it is coming out in 2005. I don't know what this date is, but it's not the release date for Zelda, they sure dolike to make assumptions, like the DS for $200.

[Gopherchux]

you guys are confusing me. you call it a "mature zelda game". Does that mean it will have a Mature rating, or are you just talking about the maturity of the graphics?

[Blaksmoke]

They mean that it looks mature, not that it'll be rated Mature. That's why I tend to stay away from the term...

[Nate]

Just because it looks real dosnt mean there are gonna be blood guts, and wenches to refain your health.

[peasantlover]

I saw a few wenches in the trailer...

[Viper]

^ the game willl not have amazing pre-orders unless it is accompanies by some form of bonus
It will still pre-sell like mad. Gamers have been wanting this game for years now.

[Bloodman]

it was sopposed to come out the first quarter of 2005, hmmmmm

[Viper]

Still is. Trust me.

[DLX]

Hmmm, I highly doubt that october will be the release date. How the hell could Gamefreakingstop know about a Title that was just recently shows for the first time. I guarantee know one really has an Idea when that game will be out except Miyamoto, and even still its only an Idea, as Delays are a possibility, especially for High profile Nintendo Games.

[speed stick]

Yeah, Q1 sounds a lot better. And peasant lover, that funny how you said that you already have the game. LOL.

[KamiKaZe]

Did the "little birdie" tell you something again, Viper?

[fishbonetaher]

Nothing is for sure until nintendo makes an official statement with the U.S/Japanese/European release date.

[Viper]

Did the "little birdie" tell you something again, Viper?<BR><BR><BR>
I didn't have to ask Glenn about this one. GameStop has it wrong. Why would Nintendo say mid 2005 and 1 week later GameStop have it listed for Oct 18th?
If it were just a week or two difference, GameStop might be right but no...that's a difference of several months.

[KamiKaZe]

So glenn is your lil birdie huh?

[Viper]

Glenn is my NOA rep.

[Parrzy182]

Hasn't anybody realized that it says Pre-Order in front of the date? wouldn't that imply that the preorder starts in october?

[Hylian-Advocate]

^It didn't at first.

[Viper]

I love being right all the time.
