Nintendo apparently tried to sneak this minor delay right past us. Instead of making a formal announcement on the one-week delay, Nintendo mentioned it in passing in the midst of that Zelda press release earlier today. The paragraph in question:
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass follows hot on the heels of another classic Nintendo franchise with amazing new controls. Metroid® Prime 3: Corruption, the third installment of the hit trilogy, launches with motion-sensitive controls exclusively on Wii™ on Aug. 27. For more information about these games, visit www.Nintendo.com.
Of course, there is the possibility that this could be a typo, but the fact that it’s exactly a week after the original date and not like 3 or 4 days after (or before) suggests that the game has indeed been delayed. Try to stay calm.
