That stinks... I'm looking forward to that game so badly (its easily the game I want most after TWW...)... :( Its hardly unexpected (remember when it was coming out in January or February or something?), but it still stinks...
So we have Zelda in March, then F-Zero in August. That's a five month gap between their big releases. So what do GC-only owners have to play in between that time?
*sigh*
Nintendo fucks up again. Reminds me of this PA strip:
So true, so true. I wish they'd spread out their releases some more instead of releasing most of them during the holiday season.
maybe there'll be some new games announced soon to be released between zelda and F-Zero...and hopefully some third party offerings worth taking a look at.
All the kids black and white, together we are dynamite.

Umm...the reason why Nintendo.com's release date is important is because Nintendo.com is IGN's source. If the news came from anywhere else, I would simply assume that Nintendo is slow in updating its site. But Nintendo was the one to make the statement in the first place. In effect, Nintendo is retracting it's original statement. Of course, this doesn't rule out any future delays. In fact, this could be a premature "slip" like Marionette during E3 2001.
Someone at N-Philes' forums was actually the first one I noticed who saw the changed release dates. The fact that the F-Zero date has been changed back is interesting, though.

Nintendo.com was the source of this story. The release dates at there site were different over the weekend, but have been changed back now.

Anyway, looks like we have a thread about nothing. On that note, where's my ROB?
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
OB1- sometimes I don't know if you're actually reading the news story. I was saying that, for this story, Nintendo.com was IGN's source. Sorry for not making that ABSOLUTELY CLEAR.
To restate, here is a qoute from IGN's news item:
Quote:March 10, 2003 - According to the official Nintendo website, the company has decided to spread out its GameCube release calendar by delaying two of its biggest 2003 titles: F-Zero and Wario World.
Because Nintendo.com is the source of all of this commotion, it is reasonable to believe that the reinstated Nintendo.com dates are the correct ones. However, as I stated before, that could have been an accidental slip.
