Not to mention RevReport will post all the Thursday info as soon as they get it there. Temporary re-open!

Your post specified that he couldn't make a new topic (and the existing one is still closed), and I'm glad it was mentioned here. It was off-topic, but I wouldn't have known if it weren't posted. Don't want to tell you how to do your job, but with the way the board is run, this is the most approrpriate place to post it, especially with the recent Zelda Rev news.

But that's just my opinion.

Hmmm... I may allow for another Rev thread soon from someone not on the list of those allowed depending on results for today and if you IM me first about it. Hopefully Iwata-ton will actually prove useful.

E3 fast approaching, I think we're all hoping for some good news :)

Sure at E3 but for now I'm thinking no on Rev discussion. Please get back to whatever you guys do about Twilight Princess in here.

It seems that there's a little release date mix-up going on:


Check out Amazon's product page to verify the listing! Yay! (maybe)

If this turned out to be true, I would probably be the happiest person in all of Earth. So, it probably is not true.

But wow, imagine if they dropped THAT bomb on us right before E3? Good lord, that would be clever!

When i saw the date in that report i pulled a kramer, and actually unintentionally flung my arms in the air and sent my swivel chair across the room with me in it. I was not expecting to see such an early date, which is probably one of the reasons i'm not believing it.

People at EBGames told me September for an an official release of TP, and that the reason there had been all these delays is that there had been no official date given by Nintendo up until just recently; people besides Nintendo were just giving estimates, supposedly.

Granted, I don't have any article to back that up, and I'm not even sure how reliable that info is. The employees I talked to there had no clue what Ikaruga was, for example.

People and web sites are still freaking out thinking the game's out in 2 weeks. Its not. Calm down and shut your pie holes.

Then drool and eat the pie...for Twilight is GREATNESS INDEED. But seriously, who would believe that BS?

You make it sound like everyone know that which info that lurks through internet is O or X. [I personally believe the info... since there isn't any relieable info other then that IMO]

Well, releasing it now would help TP's sales not being taken away by Wii and all...

But it's not going to happen.

Joystiq seems to think that Twilight Princess will be bumped from the Gamecube to becoming a Wii title. Check it out:
I call BS until I hear a confirmation, but I hope that it's not true. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars just to play the game that was supposed to be the last hurrah of the Gamecube.

Didn't Nintendo already debunk such a notion before? I remember this being mentioned in some magazine and Nintendo shooting it down. Someone correct me if I am wrong, however.

I'm with Forsety. Nintendo has said that will be a Gamecube title, mind you they did deny Wii functionality initially, or am i mistaken.

I really don't want this to be true. I was so looking forward to wrapping my hands around this one for way too long to have to buy a new console to play it.

Eh... I'm 50/50 on it. I'm getting the game and the Wii regardless, so, for whatever system it's on, it will be mine on day one. It would be pretty sweet seeing Zelda as a launch title for the Wii...

I've had some childhood trauma regarding the Legend of Zelda series. (They always were too scary for my tastes.)

Although, after the fun I've had with Minish Cap, I might possibly try this one out. I'm really excited for the music, most of all, though.

You've never played Ocaraina of Time? Man, you're missing out.

Nope, haven't played it. Does it still hold up today? When I saw movies of it, even those scared me.

I can't see myself getting through a whole 3D zelda game. Considering that I never even finished the Gameboy 'Link to the Past'. Also, I never beat the last boss for the SNES Legend of Zelda. (What was that game? The big villian was a wizard.)

I keep telling people that. They don't listen to me. =(

I actually had a dream last night that I was young Link, and I had just found all of the Spiritual Stones, and I was putting them in their places in the Temple of Time, and the great stone door was about to open...and then I woke up. It was a FABULOUS dream (it even had music in the background!).

:biggrin:

*sigh* That game will always have a special place in my heart...

Stop, stop, you're making me want to play it so badly.

If you're no good at exploration puzzles, then you won't get through Ocaraina of Time without a guide. I'm thinking the SNES Zelda you're talking about is LttP (Link to the Past). The last boss's name is Gannon.

Latley i've been feeding my addiction for Zelda with Majora's Mask. I'm just about to start the whole Water Temple thing, but it isn't easing my need for a new Zelda game at all. I'm praying that this TP being only for Wii announcement is total Bollocks, and i hope that Nintendo announces a release date for September, or as soon as freaking possible, cause i need new Zelda soon.

The thing is Nintendo never denied the Wiimote functionality, they just said that "no new info" about TP was released. And I really don't see a reason to make that game a Wii-only title. Someone else mentioned it a few months back - the strategy Nintendo is making now is best: Selling the new console with a great launch title as well as the old consoles still in stock.

Personally I think two different versions of the game will be released, one for GameCube and one for Wii, the latter version with Wii-functionality and maybe some graphical tweaks. If that's the case I'll get the Wii-version, even if the GCN-version will be released earlier.

That is exactly what I plan to do as soon as finals are over. I've never beaten the game in one day before so I think I'm going to try that. It'll be me and my GameCube from the afternoon til 3am (possibly accompanied by pretzels and peanutbutter which is a marvelous combination for a snack). Oh what a glorious day it will be...

Oh God the Great Bay Temple. The first time I tried to finish that place off that stupid eyeball miniboss stalled me for like a day and a half (on game time, AND I had already slowed time down), and I found the boss key with five minutes remaining in the three-day cycle. I was so aggravated that I didn't touch my N64 for a month. I needed that much time to recover. Yes, that was indeed a bad day.

Double Post:
Why would they bother though? When's the most recent release of a GameCube game? I guess I can't really talk, I usually don't keep up with any gaming news besides checking up on Zelda and Kingdom Hearts occasionally, but I mean...the games been delayed two or three times already. Why would they keep delaying it if they're not saving it for the new system? And where would the sense be in issuing a HUGE game that Nintendo knows EVERYBODY wants on an old system?

Double profit. Call it the Capcom-strategy: Release a game for an old system. Wait a few months. Throw in some extras and re-release it for a new console. Laugh your ass off because of all the people buying it again.

There is no way Nintendo is devoting the time necessary to port Twilight Princess to the Wii. It's redundant for one, since Wii is backwards compatible with the Gamecube. If they're making it a full-on next gen title, then they'd essentially have to remake the game from scratch both to accomodate entirely new hardware, a Wii-only control scheme, and updated graphics. That's development of two games at once, and I doubt Nintendo has that kind of manpower to spare.

It's a given that Ninty isn't going to scrap TP this late in the game just to remake it on the Wii, and dual-production is out of the question, so all this talk is just idle speculation and/or misunderstandings of the added functionality being added for the Wii.

Damn, I wish they'd called their new console something different. It feels silly even to type that. >_<
