RUMOR - Zelda: Breath of the Wild won't make Switch launch

GN Version 5.0

UPDATE - Both Eurogamer and Laura Dale have jumped in and agree with these claims.

The following info comes from Emily Rogers. Emily points out that this info isn't confirmed yet and comes from multiple inside sources.

- localization on the game became a huge task, bigger than anyone expected
- as of October, localization was still not going as smoothly as planned
- localization might not be finished until the end of December
- after localization, the game will require between (at least) four-to-six months of testing
- Nintendo’s intention is to have the game as bug free as possible
- a Summer release may be more likely
- the Switch version of BoTW is running more smoothly than the Wii U version
- final version of the game is a bit harder than what the press and media played at E3
- the E3 demo’s difficulty was toned down a tiny bit because Nintendo wanted people playing to have fun exploring

Thanks to Dakhil for the heads up!
