Today Nintendo finally announced the release date for Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword for both North America on November 18th and in Europe on November 20th of this year. Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing stated:
"The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is the biggest game in the series yet, We've just scratched the surface of this massive experience, and we look forward to sharing additional details with fans as we approach the Nov. 20 launch."
It will be interesting to see how well this game sells because there are so many titles coming out at the same time; you have Elder Scrolls Skyrim, Saints Row The Third, Assassins Creed Revelations all being released within a week of Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. Not to mention Call of Duty and Uncharted 3 will also have been released by then, so Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword is up against some tough competition. For me I may wait to pick up Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword because of all the other great games I will have already purchased, Skyrim alone is said to take upwards of 200 to 300 hours to complete everything. What about the rest of you, is Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword a first day purchase or is your life going to be like mine, ruined by skyrim and have to wait to buy Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword?
