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

Nintendo's full of surprises lately. Everyone's chatting (and bitching) up a storm about Revolution-turned-Wii, and if a release date change on Amazon.com is to be believed, we might be seeing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess a whole lot earlier than anyone expected: May 15.

According to the online retailer, Link's GameCube-with-Revolution-functionality adventure will start shipping to gamers in two weeks. Unfortunately, it's probably a little too early to start popping the champagne; retailers are notorious for making up release dates simply to update their databases.

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Joystiq seems to think that Twilight Princess will be bumped from the Gamecube to becoming a Wii title. Check it out:

Quote:

The TIME Wii tell-all has confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will feature Wiimote-specific functionality. TIME, trippin' off a self-confessed Errol Flynn flashback -- now that's old school! -- got a chance to use the Wii controller to sword fight, aim a bow and arrow, and reel in a "stubborn virtual fish."

While the details of the play-test where limited, the revelation suggests that Twilight Princess will play a major role in the Wii launch lineup. Twilight Princess is no longer a Wii-functional GameCube title. Uh-uh, Zelda just upgraded to next-gen status.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As for which version to buy, I'd say go for the Wii version. I finished it last night, and I really can't imagine doing certain things ingame without the remote. But if getting the Wii version means waiting a few extra months, then just go for the GCN copy. At least you'll have free camera control, and you'll be playing one of the best games of the generation.

Exactly. What's the big deal, it's the same game with a different control set.

I've played the Wii version, and I've played Zelda on the GC, and I honestly don't care either way. Aiming with the remote is fun, and swinging the sword is cool, but I can do the same things with a regular GC controller for $250 less.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I can't believe I didn't notice this before.

Uh, if Kakariko Village is at the base of Death Mountain...then yes. It's in the east.

Yeah the end is disappointing because its so damn easy.
Seriously, Minish Cap can shit on my face any day of the week, but this game is twice as hard as Wind Waker and that's not very hard at all!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Were you disappointed by the end as well?

Compared to Wind Waker's dramatic climax, Twilight Princess built itself up and then just fizzled in the end.

Final fight complaints:

FELIPE NO

And what's this "two endings in Ocarina" jive?
