But I guess by releasing in the "fall" (they put it in quotations, because its obviously going to be released in teh winter) they can hope to sell more copies thanks to Christmas.

Okay, firstly, wasnt Ocarina of Time delayed quite a lot also? I couldnt tell you how long or whatever, but im quite sure it was delayed. Anyone who tries to tell me OOT didnt live up to the hype has something seriously wrong with them because it is the single greatest peice of entertainment software ever produced. That being said, I hope they can do the same with Twilight Princess. Oh, and when they say "fall" as the release date, Im sure they do actually mean "fall" because technically winter dosent start until December 21st.

I think all Zelda games got delayed. OoT probably the most.

Fine, sorry, I meant "winter". Meaning 'Christmas Season'. Much like they mean "fall". If they meant the fall, why say "fall"?

Thats like saying: 'I'll come over to your house when I'm "done" my homework.'

And yes, some games do live up to the hype. Thank you for recognizing there are special cases, much like anything.

I wasnt singling out the Zelda franchise, I was making a blanket statement at any hyped up game saying they "never" live up the the hype. (Hey, I like using this quotation thing.)

Do I need to "remind" you of PD:Z, Any Mario Party game other than the first 2, Any new Sonic the hedgehog game, Super Mario Sunshine, Any Duke Nukem/Quake game, Banjo-Tooie, Final Fantasy IX, Donkey Kong 64, Killer Instinct, any Turok game other than the first, the expansion for Fable, Halo 2, The Bouncer, Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Battle..dome...thing, Tekken 4, Kingdom Hearts, Luigi's Mansion, Sonic the hedgehog 3, Street Fighter 2, Cruis'n World, Yoshi's Story, Jet Set Radio Future, Prince of Persia 2, Metroid Prime 2, The Ratchet and clank series, The Jak and Daxter series, Max Payne, Star Craft: Brood War, Fight Club, Madden 06, That new crappy need for speed game, Spiderman 2, Starcraft 64, Marvel vs. Capcom, Def Jam: Vendetta, Virtua Fighter, Driv3r, Any Sega Gamegear game, Mech Warriors, Tony Hawk's Underground, Enter the matrix, Gran Turismo 4, ATV Offroad Fury, Burnout: Revenge, Dark Cloud 2, Suikoden IV, Destruction Derby Arenas, The Dynasty Warriors series, the eye toy, that waverace game for the gamecube.


Should I list more games that didnt live up to "anything", or no?

Those games you mention: they didn't disappoint because they were delayed too long, they did because they werne't special games.

Yeah, I didnt clarify, (oops ) I didnt mean those games were delayed, just didnt live up to the hype.

Starcraft 64 had hype?

[Jason1]

Your telling me people still got excited for Mario Party after the 2nd one?

but seirously, thank you for that lovely list, you have proved your point. All im really saying is, if any development team can possibly "live up to the hype", its the team that is currently working on Zelda.

...no.

Thats the exact opposite of what I meant, actually.
