Okay according to my sources, Aka Gamestop, the game is being released in December for DS-i only, Now knowing Nintendo and the Zelda team you can expect at least 2, 3 month delays so that puts it around this time next year.
This is just going up for your info.

Lol I was gonna say Game Crazy sucks but you're talking about Gamestop....
But oh well ^w^
At least I'm getting a DSi.
If i don't spend a penny all year by the estimated time Aka after the delays, I should have enough...
Really need that job at GS though.
Quote from: Zelda UniverseWill Spirit Tracks be compatible with my DS? This has been a big issue for many after seeing the LoZ:ST trailer on a DSi. Many do not want to get a DSi right after getting a DS or cannot afford to get one but want to play the game.
Does it mean we all have to get a DSi in order to play this new game? As of now, no.
Nintendo has stated officially on their website that LoZ:ST will be compatible on all DS types (DS, DSLite, and DSi):
The new The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks game that Iwata announced will utilize the intuitive touch control of Phantom Hourglass in an all new adventure that will please longtime Zelda fans while keeping the game accessible to all DS owners.
You will be able to play Spirit Tracks but depending on what DS type you have, you will have to shop for your game format accordingly. According to JC Feltcher at joystiq.com
At Nintendo's GDC panel on the DSi's design, Project Leader Masato Kuwahara revealed a bit of news regarding DSi software. that will either terrify or thrill you based on the status of your DSi preorder. Two new types of DS cartridges are on the way: "DSi Cards," which will only work on the DSi, and "DSi Enhanced Cards," which work on all DS systems, but will have extra features when played on a DSi.
Soon we will see the transition of regular DS cards to DSi and DSi Enhanced cards just like when the DS cards came along with Game Boy Advanced cartridges. Loyal Nintendo fans, start saving your money for a DSi if you haven't done so already. In the meantime, keep that older DS around.
Okay sorry it's DS-i enhanced because you use the camera's for some parts of the game, Thank you EH92.
Read it, it's both DS-i only and DS-i enhanced, thus meaning the enhanced part is camera and could use other DS-i Features.
Aw crap.. i cant afford a dsi... :'( :'( :'(
But maybe it can be played on a regular ds but you cant use certain features in it... ;)
Yeah you can, you'll have to buy the DS-i enhanced version, you can play it on the regular DS minus some features.
I'm still going to buy the DS-i and Spirit tracks. I want to experience it fully. But I'm not buying the DS-i until Spirit tracks releases, I'm too fond of my Zelda DS.
This blows. So I guess the DSi is the 'next generation' of Nintendo Handheld?
So I guess this would mean more power from the DSi than the DS.
Either way, Nintendo is seriously screwing with our collective minds.
Yes nintendo is being a Jerk, they're trying to get ahead of everyone else and they're going to fail.

You seem to be forgetting they already are. ;)
But they
do think they're invincible, which is they're major flaw.
Their overconfidence is their weakness.

I remember hearing about this a while ago. I saw the trailer, and to tell the truth. I'm not impressed at all! It's basically a rip-off of PH. Graphics and all. And it's for the DS-i, right? wtf?! What are you gonna need to do on that game that requires a camera?! I almost HOPE that the next game is released on Wii. Then, the controls will be much better and the graphics won't totally blow chunks. 8)
Quotea rip-off of PH.
Y'know, when you're the guys who made the original, it's not ripping off. It's called a sequel. I mean, it's like complaining that MM looked like OoT.
And who knows what they'll come up for with the camera. They've surprised me before with their DS puzzles, I wouldn't put it past them to think of something clever to do with the DSi. Also, it isn't DSi only.

Also, it isn't DSi only.
Which is why I don't think it will take advanage of the DSi capabilities, although there was that shop in the oracle games...

But it's not only that. I mean, couldn't they at least make it on a different system? Sure, the DS is "the new generation of gaming" or whatever, but the controls suck, and no, it's not easy to get used to. The secret behind sales and marketing is to make things easy for the customer, and well...Nintendo kind of crossed that off the list.

Maybe they will have an option for a different control format or whatever... we just have to wait... i hate waiting... :(

It will be "dsi enhanced" meaning it
will take advantage of the dsi capabilities, but if you play it on a ds or a dslite than you wont be able to use all the games features. ;)
NECROPOSTING BECAUSE I BRING NEWS!!!!
Game Trailers has an exclusive trailer, which can be seen here. (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-zeldas-zelda-spirit/58651)
Some things I'd like to point out:
1.) A ghost-like Zelda takes control of the Phantom, perhaps making this Zelda's biggest involvement in Link's adventures to date.
2.) That neat little whip? It appears to be a snake. Indiana Link just took a level in Bad***. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TookALevelInBadass)
3.) There's a guard wearing nearly the same outfit as Link. Looks like finding a new country is greater than saving a country.
The only really new things (asides from the trailer) I could glean from Game Trailers TV was that the titular Spirit Tracks were already in the land and that the story begins with Link traveling on them on his way to graduate from being an apprentice engineer. Steampunk Zelda; I don't think I can really complain about it.
The release date is set for December 7, 2009 in the U.S.; December 11, 2009 in Europe; and December 23, 2009 in Japan.
I know what I'm asking for this Christmas! [/singsong voice]

DANG IT! I WAS GONNA POST IT FURST! ???
Well, looks like Zelda decided to pull an Alphonse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphonse_Elric), so I'm guessing the goal this time (at least one goal) is to get her body back. Or to put that odd tower back together. It might also be to defeat that (sort of) evil looking train. 8) Or all of the above.
But on the bright side, it looks as though Ganondorf has no involvement in this one.
And it also looks as though a Gerudo plays a major role (a positive one). You know, it's that dude with the sword. ::)
EDIT: Never mind. Upon closer inspection, it seems it is one of Terta's Pirate crew. Well, at least we have the fact it's a direct sequel to Wind Waker confirmed. ;)
Sequel, yes. Direct sequel....It does take place several years later, so I'm not sure "direct sequel" is the correct phrase, but meh, it's close enough.
Yeah, didn't think that big guy was a Gerudo; thought he was a descendant of Tetra's crew.
And indeed, yay, no Ganondorf in this one. He's great and all, but I would like to see some new villains, you know?
Oh, hey, just remembered, Bill Trinen said on Game Trailers TV that they were refining the controls in this game. What do you think that'll entail?
