Reggie Fils-Aime has confirmed we won't see Twilight Princess until the Autumn. Details now inside...

Interviewed by Spike TV, Reggie - the vice-president of sales and marketing at Nintendo of America - has confirmed that the next installment of Zelda won't see a release until the Autumn months.

Originally slated for a November 2005 release, the game will now launch sometime later in the year, sometime in September, October or November (November being the month speculated to see the Revolution's launch). It's been widely rumoured that the long delays for the title are to implement special Revolution funcionality, though nothing has been confirmed by Nintendo.

Hopefully the extra year of development time will mean a game of truly legendary proportions - and a fitting farewell to the GameCube and a prelude to the Revolution. Only time will tell.

Update: You can now read Reggie's words for yourself below:

SpikeTV: Zelda: Twilight Princess. Talk about taking some names. So let's take that name Zelda. What's up with that, when's it coming out?

Reggie: It's coming out this fall, it's coming out on GameCube. There's been a lot of speculation, people think we're holding it back or that it's gonna be launched just on Revolution. I'm telling you people, it's not true. It's gonna be on GameCube, it's gonna come out in the fall.

SpikeTV: Is it gonna be on GameCube AND Revolution?

Reggie: It's gonna be on GameCube. The thing about Revolution is that it will take a Gamecube standard disc. So while it is going to be a title for GameCube, Twilight Princess, you will be able to play it on Revolution.

SpikeTV: So what will there be, will there be an add-on. Will we have a sword fight on Revolution or anything?

Reggie: You know, it's a great idea. We should talk to Miyamoto about it but, you know, right now the focus is really getting it out on GameCube.

ill prob get it, hopefully it will be alot better then windwaker

zelda games have so much pressure on them to be good, I can't wait to play this one.

So there isn't going to be anything with that for the Revolution except that the Revolution plays Gamecube games?

A recent interview in EGM with Reggie recently all but confirmed some "forwards compatibility" with the Revolution. Personally, I'd rather play it on a standard control scheme first, because I view this game as the final, go-out-with-a-blast epic adventure of Nintendo's before the radical change in control. It'll be an interesting comparison between the two styles, though.

sweet it's confirmed for fall just like it was confirmed for fall 2 years ago! and fall of last year! and spring this year! and a lil after spring this year! and mid summer this year! ....do i need to go on?

lol Bilo so true

Reggie is the worst thing to ever have happened to nintendo.
