Nintendo Slashes DS Price, Delays Zelda, Updates On Gameboy Micro
Nintendo has had a busy day with lots of information regarding the future of their most anticipated game, as well as their handhelds. First, they have announced that they have delayed the release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This is definitely a huge disappointment for those looking forward to what was to be the biggest holiday title for the dying Gamecube. The delay is mainly due to the fact that the development team would like more time to spend on the game making it deeper and longer. This certainly addresses the two main complaints with the last Zelda title, The Wind Waker. Expect the title to finally drop sometime in 2006. My guess? It will be right on time for Revolution launch.
On the handheld front, Nintendo has slashed the price of the DS. As of this Sunday, the Nintendo DS will retail for $20 less which brings it to $129.999 USD - half the cost of a Sony PSP. Finally, the company has also announced that the Gameboy Micro, their mini GBA system, will launch on September 19 and will retail at $99.
