"Yanky Release Dates.."

Some rather nice suprises.. Zelda is expected quarter 2 which means it should be complete at E3 ^_^ Also Donkey Konga 2 is confirmed for the US so hopefully we'll see it over here sometime.

On DS Wario Ware, Pac Pix, Touch and Go in the first three months of the year are looking good for us importers, although it looks like we'll have to wait longer for Mario Kart, Advance Wars, Animal Crossing and Metroid Hunters.

The GBA looks like it'll be going out with a bang with a few good titles too (Pokémon Emerald, Fire Emblem 2 and Wario Ware 2).

Ack, I left my idiot translator at home.

Sometimes I have absolutely no idea what you're on about.

Of course Nintendo themselves would be able to estimate to about a week or so either way when they would have the game ready for release, not just a quarterly estimate that we are all used to until a month or 2 in advance of it's actual release.

Because hype generates interest and sales and would boost Gamecube sales.

What retarded comment is that!

Anyway I read the press release on IGN, they don't actually say the game is due out in Quater 2 just that it is coming in 2005.

Why does Nintendo have to super hype it just like Sony or Microsoft do? In a way it makes the game more of an enigma and a it will be even more satisfying to know what it's about upon release than few months in advance as that just takes the fun out of a surprise.

They could do a US/Japan simultaneous release (or within a couple of weeks of each other anyway). It's been in development long enough and just after E3 would be good, E3 will hype it up. May/June is still a long time away.

I'd keep it for four swords.

I need to sell my GBA quick, especially when i'm getting a DS when it gets released in the UK.

How much do you think I could sell my NES GBA SP for with one game (boxed) - Pokemon Sapphire?

I don't believe Zelda'll be read by Quater 2.

I just don't.

There's been no hype machine.
