Phantom Hourglass delayed?


Zelda
fan site The Hylia is reporting, by way of Game Informer issue 165, that Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is going to be subject to a rather lengthy delay. Apparently, Phantom Hourglass won't be hitting retail shelves until October of 2007, much longer than the previous push to early 2007 the game received.

Anyone else out there get their copy of the magazine to confirm? A scan would be nice ...

1. It's just not fair. That's all I can say.

3. Well, I'm pissed. But if it's the difference between a sucky broken game, that was rushed out (I'm talking to you KOTOR II) and a masterpiece then I'm willing to wait.

4. *sigh*

This was my most anticipated game...I was so excited for the early 07 release. Hopefully this is no more than a rumor. Though I suppose a delay can only be good for the game.


With all due respect,

5. It does say it's coming out in October. However, it has an exact date which is odd because Nintendo hasn't even revealed a date yet.

Take this date with a grain of salt, although I'm willing to be it won't be a Q1 2007 title.

6. Fine, fine.
At the rate I'm going I'll need the extra time to finish FFIII.
(Not that it's that hard. I just don't have enough time to devote to it.)

7. I remember seeing that in the latest Game Informer. I was surprised by the Oct. 2007 date, but figured a) this is typical Nintendo, which has a shipping-on-time record which is competitive with Blizzard, and b) I must have missed the ship-date change.

Apparently, no one else knew, either.

8. It's following in the footsteps of Twilight Princess....

9. Poot, I've been looking forward to this one...
Hopefully the new FF:CC game will come out earlier... Hey, I can dream!

10. *sob* Nintendo, you bring tears to my eyes! This was supposed to be the game that kicked off the year to a good start, and now it won't be here 'till October...'tis a grueling day to be a Zelda fan...

11. I own that issue, and actually I believe it's a typo, as the preview itself implies that no one knows the date yet (it says something like "we're guessing that it'll come out a few months after twilight princess has run its initial course"), but then goes on to list the release date as something so specific as October 17.
