How right you are. I do still beat you at overall lazy though. You know you can never compete!

**Barkworm** · 10-25-2006, 11:57 AM

Dude, you work. That makes me win by default!

Peanut · 10-25-2006, 12:04 PM

If you consider sitting in a chair and playing Solitare, having naps, listening to music and playing DS work, then yes, I suppose so.

**Barkworm** · 10-25-2006, 01:20 PM

I think I need a job like that. The two hours of private tutoring I do per week are way too much effort...

*Dr. Doom* · 10-25-2006, 01:34 PM

My job is up there in terms of laziness too. I pretty much just spend the whole time reloading the Drome and looking for new posts. I'm doing it right now!

Such is the story of my day. I love it though.

*Spitfire* · 10-25-2006, 05:40 PM

I read in Game Informer that the game was just delayed but who knows, game mags are seldom right.

That's contradiction of the masses. If something is EXACTLY the same as something else, say multiple CSI type shows, or Sitcoms about morons trying to get sex, you get bogged down and people don't care about them. You are oversaturated with the stuff, and feel enough is enough... however if you make a series that is bold and innovative, something that people have never seen before, they can't catch on to it. I'm saying, they're sick of the same type of games coming out over and over, but if something is too new, and has an awkward start, they can't and probably won't get into it.

You can do so many things with the old format of controllers... Wii's controls are interresting and new, but maybe Joe Gamer would avoid it.

I really should have made that more clear.

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.

Problem with my posts is I say too much, but I don't say enough at the same time.

What I meant is the so called Mainstream Gamers feel Nintendo is a Kid's toy (Similar to the Genisis vs. SNES battles of the 90's). The characters of Link, Mario, Kirby are cartoons to them. they want those GTA type games. But the Hard core fan gamers LOVE Nintendo. Link and Mario being the top two.

Now, Mainstream gamers are where the bigger money is. They don't buy as many GC's as the other consoles because they don't have that type of game they're looking for.

Not saying they're ALL bad, but it's like movies. There are good action films, and there are clones. The clones out number the originals. The trashier ones are invaritably wanna bees.

SO, less sales of GC, less sales of a GC Link game. that links it up back to the thesis of the game being rumored not to be sold for GC. Not enough money in it, and the system's popularity is fading.

As a manager of Gamestop in Indianapolis, here's what I know. The game was pushed back to 12/11, will be in stores on 12/12 and will be sold. The reason we've quit taking pre-orders, is because we've filled our quota of pre-orders. We've stopped taking Pre-orders on the Wii version as well.

The game IS coming out.

OA · 11-04-2006, 01:13 PM

Hmmm...well, there you have it...guess it is coming out then...cool...

~~LogicDonny~~ · 11-24-2006, 09:18 PM

In my ebgames there are more than 30 people preordered the gamecube version while the other one has like 25 or so.

that's like 55 copies sold right there.

Hmmmmm.....

**Barkworm** · 12-11-2006, 05:27 PM

Honestly, who cares anymore?

*Mecha Cow* · 12-11-2006, 05:32 PM

You'd be surprised.

Also, that article is pretty pointless. A hyped game is going to sell well? Shock and awe.

Screw you, I'm even getting both versions! I count DOUBLE.

I've searched through this post and cant find what i'm about to write, but no doubt it'll be in another post and i'll get a "

yeh, its already been posted in : (insert link here)" type reply. but here goes, being for the benefit of mr kite. or something.

According to The Official Nintendo Magazine (UK edition, so I guess this is for the UK) they say that Twilight Princess is coming out for the GC on the

Quote:

"15th December.. What's more, the GC game will be a bit different. While the story and sequence of events are identical, the world will be a mirror image of the Wii version. So, for example, if you walk into Ordon village on the Wii version the general store will be on your right. In the GC version it will be on your left! ... Clearly the control method will be different, and there's the mirror image thing, but the GC version will still be the same, stunning epic...."

By the by, that's just some choice quotes, not the whole article!

*Mecha Cow* · 12-11-2006, 06:31 PM

Well, yeah, that's been known for quite some time now.

Oh, and

Peanut · 12-11-2006, 10:19 PM

Doesn't it actually mention that the game isn't delayed anymore directly in the thread title? The rest of that information was never up for debate.

SOOOOO.....
