Twilight Princess for GameCube (Not) Cancelled - Page 2

*Mecha Cow* · 10-19-2006, 07:06 PM

Yeah, but I'm not too worried about future installments. I don't see anything wrong with a Zelda game that was actually designed for the Wii (Well, unless the Wii sucks, but that's too early to tell). I don't hate the waggle, I just don't want it added to a 'Cube game at the last minute.

Gamespot is reporting it too now. Not looking good. I really think it's gone, guys. I'm f*cking depressed.

I'm just trying to be positive I guess, it's what I do.

I know we got screwed over a little, but like I said, that's the nature of the beast.

Asf far the compsite HD business, it seems to me that the majority of people (like my good freind Petros who I could cite as a perfect example) that are concerned with all that stuff are the ones who are gonna be buying a PS3 for all such capablities and it's bluray nonsense. I really can't imagine the average Wii-purchasing person will be so rocked by this stuff at it pertains to Nintendo. But as always, I could be wrong.

愛 · 10-19-2006, 08:31 PM

I'm getting 360 this Christmas, then. Way to go, Nintendo.

Peanut · 10-19-2006, 08:32 PM

But you're missing the point on the HD stuff. This happened with the Cube. They pulled the function from it and stopped supporting it. This is the fear that some of us have with the Wii. Saying the majority of people who care about this are going to buy a PS3 for such capabilities is just ignorant. Anyone who's hardcore serious into games isn't going to take this lightly. Wether people want to admit it or not, it is an issue.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-19-2006, 08:34 PM

Well that's why I said I could be wrong.. HD isn't an issue for me so I don't know.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-19-2006, 08:40 PM

Well, I own a 360 running at 1080i, so this is an issue for me. My TV is HD, my cable box is HD, my 360 is HD. Wii isn't HD, but progressive scan is enough for me. Take that away, and I get pissed.

Peanut · 10-19-2006, 08:47 PM

Exactly. We all ready had to deal with the drop from 1080i down to 480p, but we dealt with that. We'll take prog-scan over nothing any day of the week. It's just not acceptable. They could get away with it last gen, because Xbox was the only console supporting up to 720p, but not anymore. Both 360 and PS3 support top-line HD outputs. Wii should at least have Progressive Scan as a standard. This crap threatens that standard. Completely unacceptable.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-19-2006, 08:58 PM

Is it at all possible that TP will be available for GC through Nintendo's website like it will (or was gonna be) be in Japan?

*Deathknight* · 10-19-2006, 09:14 PM

Ugh, that really sucks. I was going to get the Wii version but why cancel the gamecube version? It's not fair to those who don't want to get a Wii and just want the new Zelda. Though how is it forcing you to use the Wiimote though? The thing has Gamecube controller ports for a reason and I would think that since the game was originally going to be for Gamecube it's going to give the option of using either.

Peanut · 10-19-2006, 09:16 PM

It has Gamecube ports to play Gamecube games. It won't work with any Wii games. Zelda included. Research people.

*Hannah* · 10-19-2006, 09:17 PM

Now I'm never gonna play Twilight Princess.

THANKS ALOT, NINTENDO.

*Deathknight* · 10-19-2006, 09:42 PM

Then how are we supposed to play SSBB? There's no way people can use the wii mote for that. I thought that some Wii games were going to support Gamecube controllers.... doesn't make sense to me. This was the last thing I heard awhile back. This upsets me forcing me to use the Wii mote for all games.

Peanut · 10-19-2006, 09:45 PM

Classic Controller is what SSB:B will use. The option for normal control is not available in Zelda. However you bring up a good point, maybe with the GC version canned they'll put an option for normal control? I doubt it, but it would be a last saving grace.

*Kid Icarus* · 10-19-2006, 09:46 PM

I... Woah.

**** you, Nintendo. ****. You.

I'll still be getting a Wii.

Zelda is up in the air. Honestly, if I want a game with sword fighting, I'm going to get Red Steel.

I'm probably just going to wait until Brawl comes out. From now until then there really isn't any reason to own a Wii.

They did need Mario at launch. I don't care if they thought they were saving guns for last... you're in last place, Nintendo. Have you forgotten that? You don't have anything to lose by tossing us everything at once. If the games are good enough, people WILL buy them.

*Kid Icarus* · 10-19-2006, 09:49 PM

Wait wait wait. This is JOYSTIQ. Am I the only one who remembers that HUGE **** up they had a couple of months ago? About exclusive Wii launch details?

I smell something going on....

Peanut · 10-19-2006, 09:51 PM

It was also reported other places. I posted a link for Gamespot up above. Also, I went through the EB and Gamestop pages myself. The Gamecube version of TP has been completely removed.

*Anarchistguy* · 10-19-2006, 11:02 PM

Well **** THIS!!! I bought a Gamecube for NOTHING???!!

*Dr. Doom* · 10-20-2006, 12:11 AM

Since everyone ignored it the first time, I'll say it again. Is it possible that it will be available for purchase via their website only like in Japan? Also, is there any indication that it's been axed in Europe?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-20-2006, 12:12 AM

Nobody knows.
