Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Won't Launch Early in Europe

Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Won

With The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD launching early in North America, will Europe receive a similar offer?

Earlier this week Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe both confirmed that there will be a limited edition Wind Waker HD bundle, together with a special version of the standalone disc. Fans across the pond in the US will be able to download the game digitally on the Wii U eShop two weeks ahead of the official release, starting from September 20th.

Unless things change, fans in Europe will have to wait till the official date and won't be able to purchase the game early. Nintendo UK had this to say when we popped the question:

The US announcement is the 20th Sept. The UK/EU announcement is the 4th October.

Would you purchase Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD early if released digitally?

I'll try to find that Limited Edition for not too much money, so I don't mind really.

Also, Nintendo is going to piss off a lot of retailers if they keep releasing games early on their eShop.

I will not purchase Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD early if released digitally. But I think it's a great initiative for the fans who do want to. So it is a win-win for everybody involved in this situation. Smilie

Technically it wouldn't be launching early if it launched everywhere "early" Smilie
