"New Zelda on its way sooner than we think?"

Apparantly there's a huge chance it'll be out before May 22nd in Japan. Purely speculation, I'm guessing, but if its true surely this would mean 2005 without failure in Europe, which is very assuring to know.

Thing is, I was expecting it to be the main E3 attraction, then launched maybe two months later in Japan, 3 months for the US, and around Christmas for Europe.

Only time will tell, I guess...

A Christmas Europe release would be god-like for Nintendo. One of Nintendo's few titles have a massive chance of reaching number one in the charts.

That would be two things to be happy about; Minish Cap before Japan (I think) and something to look forward to next Christmas.

Made by Nintendo.

Gamecube exclusives that have hit number 1: metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker and Mario Kart

X-box: Knights of the Old Republic.

It won't be a Christmas worldwide release, you know as well as I do that Zelda home console games always have a chunk of time in between the release in each continent.

I'm going for:

May: First playable demo at E3
Summer: Released in Japan
September/October: Released in the US
November: Released in Europe

That suits me fine.

Ocarina of Time didn't.

If Nintendo don't get the game ready till June they'll delay it till the holiday season. They'll work on the translation early and then launch the game simultaneously as it is the most ideal time to release it.
