Is this why?

With this new zelda game coming out, The Legend Of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass it makes me wonder if this is the reason Twilight Princess is always being delayed? The zleda team is to busy with this game that there not making twilight princess faster. Sure they're still working on it but slower. Does anyone think this could be why Twilight Princess is being delayed.

I dont think so. Its not the main reason but it very well could have a small part in it.

I highly doubt they would delay one game just to make another. More than likely an entirely different team/company is making that second game.

I don't think that's the reason. They are also making the Zelda for Revolution and God knows how many other games. Besides, TP has the largest team ever working on it. Much larger than OoT.

Maybe the DS game is to make up for the lost time. Or maybe this will hook up to TP on the Revolution (Tingle Tuner type thing) Or maybe the DS game is just for the people who don't have gamecube / revo.... So many possibilities....

Actually, Zelda PH is also being developed by Aonuma and Co, but developers are always working on two or three games at a time, I don't see why this would contribute to a massive delay.

Actually, Aonuma has already confirmed that there will be no "Tingle Tuner-like add-ons" for TP because those idiot Tingle-haters were being little brats about it. The Big N basically ditched the entire concept. What level of prejudice is capable of creating this intense hatred toward a game character? Some people just need to shut the Hell up and deal. This is why free speech is a danger to society: society is composed mostly of morons.

So, nope, no more Tingle Tuner. V_V ...Ungrateful wretches... I happened to thoroughly enjoy the illusion of multiplayer, thank you very much. Either way, I'm of the same opinion expressed by someone else in the LoZ: PH thread. *points* Something to the effect of "Now that PH has been announced, I say screw TP." Yep, that about sums it up. The N waited too long, and now people have forgotten.

No rev + no hype = low sales

Intendo-na as-ha ewed-scra its elf-sa.

It's not that I hate Tingle, I abhor him. Plus, the Tingle-Tuner would've been nice for you, yeah, but that's probably because you have a GBA. Did you ever consider that some people in this world might actually be poor and not have been able to afford an extra game system just to complete a game that has already cost them 50+ bucks? I think thats why people were P.O.ed about the whole Tingle-Tuner thingy-ma-bob because they weren't able to afford a GBA to finish that game fully.

Doesn't it seem slightly curious that a DS game is being produced, as well as a Gamecube game and Revo game. The Gamecube game is set to be released in Autumn, and the autumn Zelda game for Revo is meant to be a release game. The DS game will probably be released in Autumn. Do you think this is a HUGE marketing ploy. I.e. they're going to release all three games at once, coupled with the release of the Revolution. This would boost sales tremendously, and might be Nintendo's biggest sales in years. Imagine, all three games released on one day!

Problem: If all the sales were released in one day, the sales would go DOWN. Most people that Nintendo is selling to aren't adults and they don't have a job/life. The young teens will probably be limited to how much money their parents give them, so each person would be torn between three things: Rev, TP, or PH. I, for one, would pick TP and forget about the others until their prices go down. See where I'm at here?

nice use of pig latin.

but anyway I don't think that people will say screw TP i'm just going to get PH. I think that nintendo will be smart about this and either seel this game 2-3 months before TP or sell it WITH TP. Like a 2 for 1 deal. Only it obviously costs $70 or so dollars as opossed to 45 for TP and 30 for PH. or whatever figures they decide. My point is that Nintendo knows that people are anxious about TP and they won't do anything to destroy their sales. After E3 they will hype the crap out of it. The only reason they haven't been giving us info up until then is because if they would have they wouldn't have any info to give us from E3 until the games release. So have faith.

Where did you get the idea that the Zelda Revolution game will be a launch title? All Iwata said about it at E3 last year was that it's well under way. I doubt we'll see it before 2008.

They are saying that Rev might be out at the end of this year, maybe early next year. Where the heck did you get 2008?

Nintendo itself has only officially stated that Revolution will launch in 2006 and before Thanksgiving. However, rumors of a June release have persisted.

I think PH plays a small, but important role in the initial delay of TP, Aonouma's team is working simultaneosly on two project's, two BIG projects, the first zelda game on the DS, and the last zelda "as we know it", as far as I'm concerned, next to the revo and wifi, they are nintendo's biggest projects at the moment.

Aonouma is under alot of pressure, I remember one of the reasons why TP was delayed till 06 was because "the zelda team was on a lot of pressure already, and well, I'm guessing that around that time nintendo issued the order to begin serious work on PH in order to announce it's production at GDC. Maybe the reason why we haven't seen any new TP info as of late is simply because Aonouma was trying to present a worthy trailer that would illlustrate the capabilities that PH would reveal on the DS.

Ermm... he was talking about Zelda Revolution, not the Rev itself.

I believe the reason for TPs delay is exactly what Nintendo said before, that TP has been delayed in order to be expanded and polished. It's taking a hell of a long time, but oh damn well.

This game will be worth the wait. and if it isn't then i will start an angry mob and we will shake the Nintendo of America building then fly to Japan and do that to Nintendo World Headquarters. Good thing it'll be worth the wait.

But, he was also talking about the rev, and Zelda being it's launch title. Therefore, I disproved both of his statements...

Read carefully. As you can clearly see, Thunderbird disagrees with the comment TWC made about Zelda Rev. being a launch title, and doubts we'll see it (Zelda Rev.) before 2008.

pwned.

...alright, I admit defeat. It's nothing new, i always seem to be wrong about a lot
