Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Even still, Nintendo has kept Europe waiting plenty of times before.

I really doubt we will. I'll stand to be corrected of course.
Not for major releases and especially not for Zelda.

Well, if Zelda doesn't make it in Europe, I expect something to fill the gap. But it seems very unlikely... I mean, that would be HUGE.
Still, a region free console would allow me to buy the NA version asap.

Last Zelda game to be "delayed" for localisation purposes was Phantom Hourglass, though PALands and the Americas had similar launch dates, so it was just a delay compared to the Japanese release. Last delay between the Americas and PALands was Four Sword Adventures. Since then they've been rather good at getting the Zelda games out within a week of each other worldwide.
Regarding the other topic I've seen above, don't hate on NoE doing its own English translation, it's nice to have some games with words spelt correctly. Also, its sometimes the only way we've gotten some titles, or do you all wish for a world we didn't get Xenoblade suddenly?

Am I the only one who doesn't care at all about release dates for games? As long as I know it's coming and I'll get to play it eventually, I'm fine. Maybe I'm a casual. You guys act like you all have terminal illnesses that will prevent you from playing Zelda if it's delayed. There's always going to be countless games I haven't played to fill in the gaps, and in this case I know there are a lot of unannounced Switch games that will excite me from now until then as well.
Here's hoping that a EU Zelda delay means you guys will get Mario before us selfish American

So Mario is basically done then? I wonder if they'll release it in Europe at launch if BotW is delayed.
I think it was Mario Party 8, though I didn't know that was the reason. The scripts are usually the same, some lines are just slightly changed, which makes less sense. A good example is Mario Kart 7, where NoE changed literally half of the new track names in English for no reason. Some of the kart names in MK7 and MK8 are changed as well.

According to Tom Phillips, the 3D Mario game is basically done. Though Nintendo opting to patch in the missing languages for BotW at a later date seems to be the more likely course of action than releasing Mario early in Europe as compensation.
exactly.
But about the Zelda rumours..this is really something I'll sit out until next friday. I'm pretty sure we will know then what we will get in europe on release day.
UK guys can relax: It's region free. Just pick up the US copy
Amazon.com stock of Zelda to be sold out in a matter of seconds.
Even if the console is region free, the eshop can be still fuck up in so many ways and importing physical means paying more for the game than anybody else.
No, the only reasonable solution for this is to launch the English version and patch out the other languages later. Although that would create a potential issue at retail. But it's not the only game to have a retail launch and support just English.
with amazon.com and world wide priority shipping? 2-4 days.
my orders from amazon.co.jp usually don't take longer than 3-4days.

Well, Liam Robertson claims that is done right now.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
So my weird VR-on-Switch dream is slowly coming to reality.

Is the world launch confirmed at all? Maybe Zelda is now rumoured as a launch game now that Nintendo has dropped Europe from the initial launch date.
Just saying.
Just saying.
That's encouraging, I'll gladly pay that extra $ to get it sooner.
It sounds absolutely insane for them to do so.
But as a fan, my mouth is watering, and my wallet is crying at the possibility.
Well their world premier for everyone gave March 2017 as the release date. If they didn't intend that to come across as a worldwide launch during the same month they could have easily just not included that at the end.

English speaking Europe could just seperate from the rest of the European Union

Did anyone post this? Nintendo opened the JP youtube page for the event.

Would be cool, kinda like PSN.
They also did nasty things to US with Disaster: Day of Reggie, Pandora's Tower and Xenoblade Chronicles Wii.

It's not that wasteful, but it's necessary
And let's not even get started on the Xenoblade/X quality levels
(Though to be fair that's more to do with voice actors)

I much prefer the US version. Even before I knew it was a meme; it works just fine without that knowledge and is more enjoyable to read to me.
Still feeling that MS Second Tier Country burn?

;_; why did you've to remind me?
Maybe it's worth pre-ordering Zelda BoW from amazon.co.uk as soon as they put it up. Just as a precaution.
Shouldn't be any problem with the source, it's Eurogamer. I guess everybody was either lazy or didn't want to start a potential backfiring Nintendo thread.
But go on, it should be a new thread for it, it's quite important news.

There's nothing new in the GI article according to PadWarrior.
Probably because most people here feel like I do? that we knew that info for the last days and the only thing we can do is wait until next friday to see what was rumour and what is real >>
Honestly? I'm not surprised. But I was still holding out a slither of hope that we will get some news today.
It's not too bad, next week is the big event after all.

Well we got 3D World and LBW on the same day.

Everyone's saying the Switch needs a killer app for launch like Mario or Zelda but I'd rather have splatoon/mario kart ports then the 3DS launch where they didn't have a killer app at all except pilotwings.
Oh, hahaha! The GI article is even worse than I imagined. Oh, God. It is a retelling of what was shown at The Game Awards. Someone sat and made a play by play of the trailer and the gameplay part.
Any particular quotes that stands out?
Stands out is too much, but this part is pretty dramatic:
"The camera then pans to an area that has been left in ruin. Puddles of the dark magic substance have formed. Link overlooks the devastation from a ledge - a mysterious sparkling force surrounds him. The trailer ends with Link sitting on the ground looking defeated, and what looks like Zelda standing next to him with a close-up of her clenching fist."
The end.
Boy, I knew print journalism was hurting, but printing a dramatic retelling of a trailer? Ouch.

Insider's response: I've heard rumblings about the Euro release. Be excited. Could be delayed, could be day and date with US. Crazy times ahead. Don't quote me though.
