Nintendo has confirmed that the biggest title on its release schedule for Christmas, GameCube title The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, has slipped to 2006 in all territories worldwide. The platform holder says that creative leads Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma want the game to spend more time in development, and claims that the result will be a "more enjoyable gaming experience".
Despite the unveiling of its next-generation Revolution console and a new iteration of the Game Boy design, Twilight Princess was arguably Nintendo"s biggest draw at this year"s E3 conference in Los Angeles, and news that it will miss the end of the year is likely to be viewed as a huge blow for Nintendo.
