GC Twilight Princess Not In Retail In US
It was a big surprise when Nintendo announced that the Japanese GameCube version of Zelda: Twilight Princess won’t be available in stores, but only through online order. Now it seems that US GameCube owners will have to order online as well, as GameStop and EB Games confirmed to Joystiq that they won’t be selling the game.
As we mentioned last time, this is most likely because Nintendo wants to avoid two versions of the same game competing in retail stores, and chose, wisely enough, to only have the Wii version in retail. One can only imagine the disappointment Nintendo will feel if it turns out that the GC version plays better than the Wii one.
[Update] Nintendo has issued a statement denying the rumor of Zelda: Twilight Princess only being sold online. The game will, in fact, be available in retail this December.

Poor americans. I dont think Reggie Fils Aime should have said that Zelda would launch on both consoles. Big mistake

And people still have no problem supporting Nintendo? lol
Not that this effects me..I have no interest in Nintendo games. I’m over 10. Anyone who was looking forward to this trash should just get a PS3. Nintendo will be a third party developer soon, anyway.

By the way, this news is incorrect. Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Gamecube WILL be in stores this coming December:

“22, pc + playstation, girlfriend + loads of friends, I hate Wow, sorry to dissapoint you kiddo.”
Most students leave uni at 22 so you either finished a couple of months ago or have learning difficulties. Judging by the intellectual content of your average posts I’d say you’re a ‘very special little boy’ (ok small chance you’re doing a 4 year course but as these are often things that require an IQ rather than a BA in shelf stacking I’m discounting them.
Then again here’s another wacked out theory for everyone.
“You claim to be 22, call everyone else immature, kids etc. You feel the need to reassure everyone you have lots of friends and a girlfriend, who is in no way made up and you have lots of sex with whenever you want it. ”
I propose the radical theory that you are actually 13 and saying everything you can think of to make yourself sound mature. While no one else on this forum seems to feel the need to state these things you have to reassure us all about them, which makes it seem likely that its all bullshit
How do you like them apples junior?
