WHY

US gamers cry. I think they'll lose sales from people grabbing the game illegally since Europe gets the game in November

Someone better sell the import cheap

 

[GDJustin]

Thank god. RE+Zelda=Xmas money purchases for me.

The game would get lost in the DS hype; Pokemon is launching as the big GBA game this fall, and in November alone there is FF 1-2 and DKC2...so it wasn't needed as much. Sucks, but that's their view.

I wonder why they moved it?

DS in november.

DS in november.

That didn't affect the Japanese release date...

It's the first time a Zelda game launches first in Europe

Why the hell are you all so upset? You always freak out when an AAA game is delayed, but then bitch when they're all lumped together. It's not like we don't have enough stuff to buy this fall. People are gonna be broke as shit without even taking the DS into account.

I need a list of reliable Euro retail sites to order this from (Who ship to USA). I'm not waiting till January.

I'm not upset. Just slightly annoyed that the only portable game product worth buying in 2004 will not be here until 2005.

You sure? IIRC, it's being release in Japan first.

 

[Socreges]

Sucks.

Quit embarrassing yourself.

Where they have no other major holiday GBA title? All of the NA GBA Releases are months old in Japan.

 

[thomaser]

Heh, I could sell it, I suppose... having a store and all. But the SRP in Norway for the game will be NOK 499, and I will sell it for NOK 448. Which is 65,53 USD. So... if any of you are desperate enough to pay that much plus shipping, I'd be more than happy to send it to where ever you are

 

[Mrbob]

Sorry, I meant the only upcoming portable release worth getting in 2004.

Bullshit. The Oracle games came out at the same time as the GBA launch and sold tons of copies.

 

[Alcibiades]

It's barely September and it's already a safe bet Nintendo is going to dominate January.

The Minnish Cap and RE4 should get quite a few buyers from people with new systems right out of Christmas.

He said quit embarrassing yourself.

 

[GaimeGuy]

MAYBE, just MAYBE, Nintendo is doing this to make up a VERY VERY VERY small bit of the countless times that Europe has gotten the shaft. Didn't Iwata publically apologize a few months back for Nintendo's situation in Europe?

Stop complaining. You'll get your game eventually.

 

[Memles]

Hey; I didn't say I liked their logic, but I'm sure that's what they're saying.

Might even be an ad budget issue. Who knows.

 

[Greenpanda]

To be honest, I don't really care that this game isn't being released for me until '05 - there's so many other games coming out at the end of 2004, anyway. I mean, I am looking forward to Minish Cap, but I'll have plenty of other games to play, too.

In fact, it's nice to have things spaced out a bit!

 

[SantaC]

new zelda + RE4 = Gaming heaven in January! Believe or not

It's nice that I am in Europe though, no need to import.

No kidding. For the rest of the year, there's at least one game a month I'd like to get, 3/4 of the months left, about 2. It'll be nice once I can bring my purchases to 1 a month again or so.
