Exactly 20 years ago today, Nintendo presented their legendary E3 2004 press conference. Reggie made his debut, the DS was revealed and Mr. Miyamoto leapt onto stage with a sword and shield to unveil The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It was an epic event!

This is a horrible quote that I’m convinced has been mistranslated for years. Delaying a game doesn’t guarantee that it will be good as a finished product - it could very well still be a bad game that just took longer to ship. Nintendo fans, stop sharing this quote all the time.
