Zelda DS dated, Metroid 3 delayed

When is this game being released in UK?!?!

So Zelda is coming earlier than I thought and Metroid Prime 3 is coming later than I thought. Hooray and boohoo.

MMM Tasty Zelda Goodness coming this way soon.

Hopefully they are fixing it so that the doors open up when you shoot them...unlike ALL of the other Metriod Prime games, Hunters included. The only bad thing about them...

i got an import of phantom hour glass and it is pertty tight but i dont like the controls as much as i thought

ahhhhh.... thank god its a minor delay

two great games :) I wish I had the time and ambition to finally play through metroid prime 2....I bought it the november(i think) it released and havn't played past the huge worm that grants you the dark suit...so I would say Im about 10% through it haha

Cant wait til its finally out!!!!!!

We still dont have super paper mario... i can only cry in sadness thinking of when we'll get Zelda or metroid :( Please Nintendo, get your act together here please. I wanna play zee games (Australia)

Both are going to be awesome games :D

dare I say, no i can't : TOO MANY GAMES?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all i care about in this article is metroid 3, anyone else think the same?

Well, as long as Metroid is AMAZING! I'll be perfectly happy! :D

At least the games are coming out this year

Finally I can duke it out against another Link to see who is REALLY the better sword fighter. It will be mighty interesting to see how this game is with its touch controls. The Delay of Metroid Prime 3 comes as no suprise. Its a AAA title and as such it shouldn't be rushed.

to darkzerogamer: Now Wiis are starting to appear everywhere, at least where I live. Maybe Nobody in my area wants a Wii. Or they just can't afford it. They're on ebay for about 100$ more than retail sticker price.

So now Im gonna have to buy a DS AND a Wii? When will the madness end? I can't even FIND a wii to buy anywhere!

1 week? I can cope, and I'm sure everyone else will.

"Unfortunately, Nintendo also had some semibad news today, namely that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has been delayed. Fortunately, the postponement is minor. Initially slated to be released a week after Madden NFL 08 on August 20, the game now won't arrive until August 27." Whaaaaa? Aug 27 is still a week after Aug 20! am i missing something?

It is nice to finally have a release date for Zelda on the DS, looking forward to picking that up.

Uhh 1 week delay tacked on to a 9 month delay! Corruption was a launch title originally. Still, it could be worse. They could say that there is no online multiplayer...oh wait...nevermind.

Good news for all children. It falls on Children's day.

That would be good news if I had a DS but I have a Wii so I can be sad about Metroid. But if I did have a DS I would be happy because I could get the new Zelda game but alas I cannot.

cool

Let me get this straight... they delayed Metroid to obviously avoid madden...by releasing it within days of Bioshock... Surely the madden crowd and sports fans wouldnt be dividing their game time and game money as much as the FPS action adventure crowd... I want both of these games but have no care for sports games and now they are coming out in the same week and will no doubt clash for my attention, whereas i could have beaten MP3 in that week leading up to bioshock.

Is Zelda single or multi-card play? any WiFi?

I thought MP2 was about as good as MP1, so MP3 should be just as good at the least. FYI Wii has freeloader already. I can't wait to see what else is coming out through E3 next week!!

one week how is that a bad thing it gives them one more week to perfect the game, stll can't deside if im going to get phantom hour glass or not

I really hope they make MP3 good, MP2 was a dissapointment.

I didn't even know MP3 was that close to coming out, so a week is okay for me!... What a rough late summer/early fall it's going to be for my wallet!

Delayed a week? Seems a bit pointless. September,October,November are going to be crazy with games. GTAIV, Halo3, Metriod, Zelda DS, Smash Bros and Galaxy (apparently) and Bioshock and hopefully Mass Effect, plus a new Pro Evo. How am i going to find the time to play all these games??

well i think this is good new actually ha at least we know for sure when these games are coming out....and believe me, if nintendo needs to take their time....let them.

Lets hope there is a freeloader for wii soon so we can get these games the same time as those yanks.

Sadly, being British never pays off, KingKoop :(. We get bad weather all year round, we pay more for everything and as an extra bonus for living where we do, we're expected to sit tight and wait longer for everything. We're also so far behind in technology when compared to everywhere else. 10MB broadband is bog standard over in Japan! Here, its about the best you can get unless your run a business.

I see "Metroid 3 delayed", and it is only for 7 days? thanks for scaring the crap out of me gamespot :)

I'm assuming Aug 27 is for the U.S? Yet again being British doesn't pay off :(

C'mon! You didn't seriously think the announced date August 20 would be the final word, did you? Sometimes I hate being right. But why only a 7 day delay? My guess still is that Metroid Prime 3 won't arrive until September.

Nintendo HAS to take their time on games, if not they wouldnt be good, and what games would be good on their console then. Cause if it aint nintendo made it most likely blows

I dont mind. If all developers took their time, like Nintendo, then all games would be amazing.

I cried a little inside....But, anyway, I trust Nintendo with their actions! Let's just hope it's for a good reason.

7 more days! *insert Darth Vader pic here* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! On the other hand... it's about time Nintendo offers something for MyNintendo members. Sheesh.. I've been a subscriber to NP and things of the like for ages... like... 10 or so years to be exact... Nintendo you owe me!

oh man!? now nintendo is making us wait for metriod prime 3 even longer!? *sigh*

I can deal with 7 more days :)

oh nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! delayed

Zelda's awesome. I think I'm gonna by a Wii only to play it.

ther is no Linearness in Zelda watr they talkin' bout' lol I can't wait tho :D they both sound like they're gonna be sweet xD

Why the long wait for both?

Metroid's delay isn't too bad; it's just one week. I expect it to be a truly satisfying game. As for Zelda, I'm glad we finally have a release date. I am really looking forward to it!
