    Nintendo Rumour | October Release For Zelda: Twilight Princess?

    With the Wii release date, price and all sorts imminent, IGN have added a little hint of what could possibly be the release period for Zelda, or a way of teasing gamers with false information.

    Could an October release for Zelda be on the cards?

    IGN have added a poll to the main page of their site asking which version of Zelda: Twilight Princess readers would buy "this Oct... er, holiday season".

    There are different outcomes that could come out of this, if true:

  • An October release for TP, with the Wii launching shortly after in November, or -
  • An October release for Zelda and Wii simulatenously.

    Do IGN know more on the release then the rest of the world, or just playing a twisted little joke on Nintendo fans?

    Regardless, official confirmation from Nintendo is said to be announced in the coming weeks.

    Stay tuned for further updates.

    Maybe they were saying "Are you buying Zelda: Twilight Princess this Octopus" but then they decided that that sounded stupid Smilie

    This is my newer, bigger, reasonably sized signature. I hope it's not too big.

    They captured one poor little Sony employee and dragged him (drag? That's something with women's dresses, no) to the underground lair.
    After 6 hours of hard beating and punching he told them 'the truth'
    He said 'We're going to release da Cell-processors shortly after this October'!
    IGN, mistaking him for a Nintendo-manager (because he looked like Togglepi) believed him and set him free, not realising, that his name-tag had a big 'S' at the beginning of his companiy's name instead of a big 'N'.

    So the new Cell-Da from Nony is coming somewhere this Octopu... this October.

    Believe me: No one at IGN made this up to get other online journalists to give out a news about this.
    I find your lack of faith disturbing!

    As someone who's followed IGN since they were N64.com, I can tell you that they are indeed one of the most reliable sources for videogame info. They don't usually screw these things up.

    They probably know. However, while they're fairly reliable, they're also a pack of rumour-mongers, releasing complete crap at times to gain notoriety and hits. Also, they've been known to be arseholes and spread false hope like this.

    Having said that, I do think an October launch for the USA is increasingly likely.

    October does seem like a very logical time to release the Wii, so maybe IGN do know the release date already.

    They have been increaseingly screwing about these days.
    The amount of "joke" links appearing on their site has shot up.
    Its like every time there is no news they will try to trick the Nintendo followers with something.

    I'm very much doubting a release in any region in the next two months. Late November at the earliest methinks, and that's for Japan.

    IGN.com is usually a pretty reliable source of news and info. However when it comes to reviews, previews, personal opinions and such, I've found them to be pretty bias and/or ignorant for the most part.

    I think they are only poking fun... otherwise they would've made a big deal about it.

    I wouldn#t say IGN are bias considering they gave MKDD something like 7.3
