Yes, he most definitely is...and Zelda getting pushed back is also somewhat disappointing, though for the best.AniHawk said:

The disaster here isn't so much that we'll have to wait another three or four months for Zelda -- that's not really bad -- but that Nintendo went from having a shaky holiday lineup to an abysmal one.
They could have had nothing but Zelda for the fourth quarter and it would have still been a great Christmas for GameCube owners. Now, it's just... absolutely... unprecedentedly... awful.

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."

The statement went on to point out that Mario Smash Football (née Super Mario Strikers), Battalion Wars, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness would all be out in time for Christmas.
In order to try and lift dampened spirits, Nintendo released seven new screenshots of Twilight Princess to accompany the statement.

Don´t hit me for my bad english plase
Go Fire Emblem, Go!
Ah, this sucks, there's something special about playing Zelda during the holidays, like with OOT
Still, it'd be stupid to port it to Revolution. I mean, the game isn't even complete yet, porting to Revolution would delay it way longer than you'd think most likely (as in, it'd never make Rev. launch, idiots). Also, a Rev. Zelda is most definitely in the works anyway.

It may be to make the game better, longer, more complete, or whatever, but this news is still lame as ever. Fire Emblem will be great and Mario Strikers could be alright, but Zelda was pretty much the last gamecube game I wanted to play and now I have to wait EVEN LONGERRR TO PLAY IT. CURSE YOU NINTENDOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Not necessarily. Since GC and Rev use the same software libraries, most of the changing they'd do would be graphics. Almost all the code could be left intact as it is, if I'm not mistaken.

AWFUL... if this wasn't ZELDA everyone would be laughing. The water and plant shots are gorgeous... horrendous art in regards to that troll thing he's fighting...

Wait...

I was utterly left down by TWW, so I haven't really been anticipating TP in that almost obsessive way like I use to do with new Zelda games. This is a good thing for me, the delay doesn't even bother me.
I'm glad, that way they'll have time to (hopefully) polish this baby into something truly spectacular!

Then they should release it as a GameCube title. You don't want to release a GameCube title under the Revolution name.
Unless you're implying they should release Zelda for GameCube @ Rev. launch, which would be really stupid IMO. I'd rather seperate my Zelda from all the Rev. launch goodness (Smash Bros. online, well, if that makes launch :lol).
EDIT: Oh, I get what you're saying, just bump up the graphics and leave the rest alone.
Even then, this process would take a very long time. Where do you guys get off thinking moving a game to a new console and upgrading the graphics doesn't take that long? Especially a game this seemingly huge? I mean it's more a matter than using sharper textures.
