Hanging ut on the nitnedo forums, I noticed a splurge in topcis about IGN. Apparently, IGN psoted a rumor about the launch date and otehr things about the wii, BUT later removed it because "they didn't want their sources to go to jail"...Apparently, they put it back up now though. Like someone suggested, this may be some kind of way to just draw attention; but who knows. Heres the link.

Well my EBgames has a release date for the New Legend of Zelda, and as we all know, the New Zelda is also going to be system launch title for the Wii.

When I mentioned this the girl at the register only smiled.

What has a launch title anything to do with it? They could totally release the game years before the system to play it comes out. :D

Come on Hiead, what has a launch title has to do with anything? The game was delays specifically so they could release it on launch day with the Nintendo Wii.

I mean, Nintendo Wii and the New Zelda released on the same day is going to give Nintendo like a super upper hand on the entire thing.

Their first set of a launch titles is really going to help Nintendo out and the Zelda game is going to be one of the soild sales drivers.

A launch title suggests the game is avaible AT GAME launch. Not years before.

Get off the crack.

Or soon after the inital launch. In any case, isn't there a Gamecube version of the new zelda? Maybe that's it.

The people at arstechnica seem to think that October 2nd is a possibility: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060725-7349.html

Here's a Nintendo press release that hints about the release date for the Wii: http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=9938
