Delayed Twilight Princess Undelayed

On February 12th, retail giant Best Buy sent Kotakuite Frank an email informing that the heavily anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess had been delayed. Instead of the original April release, the game would be out November 1st wrote Best Buy.

Today, Best Buy contacted Frank once again with the news that the game had *yet* another new release date: April 1st. For those keeping score, that was the original drop date. The email reads:

Pre-Order Update February 13, 2006 Order Number: BBY01-XXXXXXXXXX
