GameCube Zelda: Twilight Princess slips to December

The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess had for a long time been regarded as the swansong title for the Nintendo GameCube. Even after the announcement that the highly anticipated title would also be released for the Wii, GameCube owners around the world could still look forward to one last great game.

News coming from a Q&A session following Nintendo’s Wii press conference in North America now puts the GameCube release of Twilight Princess as December 11, several weeks after the game will debut on the Wii.

Whilst no doubt a clever move from Nintendo to get fans of the game to snap up a Wii on launch, it’s still a kick in the teeth for GameCube owners – after all, the game was intended to be released well before the Wii hit the market.
