Nintendo has confirmed the UK Zelda: Skyward Sword release date.

After sitting on the edge of our seats for just a little bit too long we can finally relax knowing that the next slice of Miyamoto magic will arrive in stores on for Wii on November 18.

Reggie Fils-Aime talked up the game's nuanced motion tech back in March, calling Skyward Sword the best example of Nintendo's innovation and distinctiveness.

Have a look at the latest Zelda: Skyward Sword trailer if you haven't seen it already.

    ^ This. Why do they do this? Nothing for months then loads of quality titles in matter of weeks.

    Having said that, with the exception of the regular top selling titles, most of it will hit half price within a fortnight of release as sales won't be high enough. Kerching! :lol:

    Great move, releasing it within seven days of Skyrim >_>

    Naturally I'll be buying it, but how soon I'll actually play it will be an entirely different question, because Skyrim is looking absolutely awesome with it's big (full) world, awesome Dragon fights, and general awesomness, this'll probably be the first time ever a Zelda game ends up in my backlog, oh well, it's always nice to have a slice of brilliance available.

    Great news, but as everyone else has said, it's looking uncomfortably crowded in the build-up to Christmas.

    Having a job + social life + loving games + 2011 Q4 = :cry:

    I'm suprised you could even post Balla. I presumed you would have collapsed into your own puddle of wee from reading this! :)
