Can you believe that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword finally launches this week? It’s been five years since the last console Zelda… that almost seems unreal.
Nintendo of Europe wrote up the following press release to remind the folks living under a rock that the game will ship to stores later this week.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is due for release on 18th November 2011 and is already garnering high critical acclaim.
14th November 2011: 2011 has truly been the year of Zelda, with Nintendo celebrating the 25th anniversary of the epic adventure series, The Legend of Zelda™. To cap off what has been a year to remember for Zelda fans, Nintendo is set to launch one of the most highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda titles of all time, The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword, exclusively for Wii™ on 18th November across Europe.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword lays the foundation for the events in The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time, which is frequently cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is already garnering very high critical acclaim and is looking certain to surpass the review scores from any other game in the series. Leading video games publications from across the world have been keen to point out how much they have enjoyed playing the game:
Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers made it to the Japanese Wii Virtual Console last week. Because it features online play – a rare feature for a VC title – fans in other territories have been particularly hopeful that they’ll be given an opportunity to download the game. Capcom has, fortunately enough, been quick to confirm that it will be made available in North America and Europe.
Capcom wrote on their official blog:
“Here’s a nice surprise – the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive version of Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers is coming to the Japanese Virtual Console with online play added. On the surface, that’s not entirely great news, as most of us are not in Japan. However, I can confirm that this is indeed coming soon for US / EU as well, though there’s no set date.”
So, it’s coming… it’s just a matter of when it’ll hit the Wii Shop Channel. We’ll have to be patient, but at least we know it’s on the way.
It’s also worth mentioning that Strider is set for a North America/European release. No date has been confirmed yet, though you can expect it sometime in the near future.
