That sounded very cryptic.

If it's axed in NA, it's axed all over the damn place. We can only hold out hope that it'll at least get an online release over here.

There's quite a few titles worth owning other then this. If your an RE fan your in huge luck.

Let's see how this turns out. Nintendo already announced that in Japan you'll only be able to buy it online. Maybe it'll be the same for the rest of the world.

Yep.

Oh, and Gamespot's reported rumors as absolute fact as well... Until a site like Planetgamecube or IGN reports it, I have a hard time beliveing it. Nintendo's debunked this.

Moving on.

Uh...wtf are you talking about? No one ever confirmed anything on Gamespots end. If anyone is the one reporting rumors as fact, it's IGN.

OA · 10-20-2006, 05:50 PM

Hmmm....so I'm guessing at this point we don't have confirmation that it either is/sn't coming out right?

I really don't get it though, because everything I had seen early on led me to belive the game was almost complete, and that was a while back...

That would completly suck though if it is cancelled, as I was planning on getting for Christmas...guess we'll see...

*Deathknight* · 10-21-2006, 08:34 AM

I still wonder if the Wii version will force you to use the stupid wii mote. I remember just before the Wii version was announced they announced it would have "wii support" and you'd be able to use the controller. I'm really hoping that I can use the classic or Gamecube controller for it, otherwise I might end up just buying the Gamecube version depending on how the Wii mote actually handles the game. Who knows, it might actually be better.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-21-2006, 09:42 AM

There wouldn't really be a problem if you could, but unfortunately it's been confirmed that you can't. If you want both control schemes, you have to buy the game twice.

*Drtooth* · 10-24-2006, 04:20 PM

All I can say is as mad as we should be at Nintendo, we should be angrier with X-Box and Sony. Their crap has beaten Nintendo to a pulp. Sure, there are a few games here and there... but when you look at it we have crappy "Adult" games that are all either "Call of Duty" or "GTA" knockoffs, and Kid's games based on the 300000000 crappy CGI films they crapped out this year. We're basically oversaturated with the same garbage and Nintendo lost the battle, because they have the moral code not to make trashy adult games like that. Remember when Sega's Mortal Kombat did better than SNES because Sega let the blood and gore in? Same thing.

The one problem is that Nintendo wants to be the innovator. What better way to distance yourself from the same old games over and over than with some exciting bizzarre new format. Personally, I felt DS was better at being innovative, and I didn't like the idea when it first came out. That touch pad makes the games kinda cool and different from the other stuff. Still don't know if I'll get one.

Think about it. Nintendo made Mario games. Mario is the Mickey Mouse of all Video game characters. He's not the first, but the most recognized. They took things like Racing and minigames, a concept that wasn't new at all, and turned them inside out, making them fresh. Then all these other companies come up and steal the format, and not even tweak it. Crash BAndicoot, Sonic, even the Nicktoons and the Muppets (I'd kill for a Muppet Super Smash Brothers type game. You could play as all these obscure characters with weird attacks... fun!). Maybe Sonic came out with a Character based Pinball first, but the others? All Nintendo.

Hell... look at DDR.... even Nintendo used a power mat when it first came out. Granted, it was an abysmal failure...

The Wii is too innovative for me. They really should have stuck with the traditional format along side this new one.

But then again, I don't care about games since this whole 3D revolution... they just aren't as fun... there are exceptions of fighting games, but 2-D's the king.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-24-2006, 04:27 PM

Gamespot has edited the article I posted to state Nintendo's CONFIRMATION that TP is still coming out for GC on 12/13 and will be available in stores.

You do realise this thread is about Twilight Princess, right?

...Sorry, sorry.

Peanut · 10-24-2006, 06:13 PM

Drtooth, you just contradicted yourself big time. First you say we should hate Microsoft and Sony for doing the "same old thing", then you go on to say the Wii is "too innovative" and that they should have sticked to a normal control scheme? Riiiight.

And I don't think anyone has anything to say to that Mecha. Zelda has always been more realistic than cartoony, and while Wind Waker is my favourite Zelda game, I'm more than prepared to enjoy Twilight Princess. There's a difference between realistic, mature games and trashy adult games.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-25-2006, 11:04 AM

I know, I was just being a dick. I actually don't agree with you, but I've made it clear how I feel about TP so I won't go into that again.

Peanut · 10-25-2006, 11:06 AM

I don't know what there was to disagree or agree with in my statement...I didn't even really state any opinions.

Anyways, apparently TP for GC is still coming out. If this is true I'll go get a Wii. Provided I can find some f*cking component cables, or at least get them shipped to me before the Wii launches. I refuse to play Zelda in blurry...180...Z or whatever.

**Barkworm** · 10-25-2006, 11:14 AM

Spoiled brat!

A/V cables make my penis go inward, forming a vagina. I can't even stand playing games on a normal TV. I gotta have the HD.

Peanut · 10-25-2006, 11:17 AM

Hey, if I can spoil myself I say good on me. I work for all my sh*t, so I'm allowed to bitch about low resolutions.

And anything else for that matter, as I tend to do.
