GC Twilight Princess still coming to stores in Europe

GCN News | Insane completists rejoice!

And another chapter in the epic Zelda: Twilight Princess Gamecube/Revolution/Wii platform jumping drama unfolds. As we reported yesterday, the Gamecube version of Link's latest adventure will only be available to Japanese gamers via Nintendo's online store. Nintendo of America had already confirmed a US release shortly after the Wii's launch, but what of the rest of the English speaking world [and, ahem, mainland Europe - Ed]? Would our 'retro controlled' version of Zelda be consigned to mail order, or even be canned entirely?

Well British games rag CVG tracked down one of those pesky Nintendo of Europe reps, and it was confirmed Link would make a final retail appearance for Gamecube in PAL regions. ""Zelda: Twilight Princess on GameCube will be available via the usual retail channels in Europe." said the unnamed Nintendo rep.

No word on a release date yet, but for Nintendo fans not planning on a Wii purchase (all two of you) and insane completists wanting to be gouged by buying a game twice (probably 300K of you), we'll keep you informed.

OK so it gets released in Europe so we are halfway there. A PAL version is being made, but how do we buy one?

Import? There may not be much stock available from what I've heard.

(at least not a launch Wii. I'll get one when they reach their impulse purchase price, assuming the strategy turns out as planned for Nintendo)

Personally I'm hoping for the Cube version to be released in Aus, I was considering getting the Cube version and waiting for the next one that would be built from the ground up for the Wii, not a gamecube game modified for the Wiimote
