The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass finally gets a European release date of October 19th.
Rumor has it this is what the box art will look like in North America.
Possibly the most anticipated DS game this year will be heading to America on October 1st 2007. Unlike normal Zelda games, the DS iteration of the classic is entirely touched controlled and it plays surprisingly well. The game contains the same art style in 3D that the GameCube version Wind Waker had and even has Wifi Connection multiplayer.
Released in Japan just a few days ago, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has performed respectably on store shelves so far. The DS game sold 350,000 copies in just two days, making it the fastest-selling Zelda game since Ocarina of Time nearly ten years ago.
The first reviews of Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, the series' first instalment on DS, are starting to trickle in from Japan - and it's scoring big. Three out of Famitsu's four reviewing editors gave the game top marks, with the other rebel reviewer dishing out a near-perfect 9/10. The final score is 10 / 10 / 9 / 10 - (39/40), the highest scoring Zelda game ever behind GameCube's Wind Waker (cough, cough).
A couple of new Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass trailers have hit the web showing what we could expect in terms of gameplay. In the first trailer trailer, the main focus is on how to command link to attack enemies. Link can attack not only forward, but his signature spin attack is easily performed with a simple circular motion.
It's the most anticipated DS game of the yea with a rapidly approaching Japanese release date of June 23rd. Pocket Gamer has spied The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass sneaking out onto the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The question is: who's playing it?
