Rumors persist that Twilight Princess will be coming out for the Revolution rather than GameCube.
Discuss.
Makes sense. What'd happen to it though? Would the graphics be better than previewed to be?
NO,NO,NO!the tp is definently coming for cube and maybe revolution too!
I'm not too sure about it, and either way sounds great to me. ;D If it's for Gamecube, we get it sooner, if it's for Revolution, we'll be able to really swing that sword around! And to me that sounds so sweet.
But personally I'd lean towards it still coming out for the Gamecube. I've got two main reasons for this:
1) Nintendo promised us (repeatedly) that it would not be a Revolution title; it will be for Gamecube. They're going to make a ton of fans angry with them if they break that multitude of promises. Fans might not get angry enough to leave Nintendo, but they could quite easily decide to 'try out' some of the competition. That only hurts Nintendo in the long run.
2) The controller issue. Unless Nintendo has known for a long time that they were going to have TP for the Revolution (I doubt that that's the case; they wouldn't have made all those promises), they will have to completely re-adapt the game for the new controller. That's a ton of time making the NGC fighting system down the drain, and a ton more making a new system for the Revolution.
Of course, I'm just a kid in high school, so I have no idea how big these two issues are in the mind of the Nintendo people. It could be really simple to alter the programming to respond to the Revolution controller. No se. But I really don't think it looks like a wise idea from a business stand point to put it on the Revolution.
Though, as I said, I'm really fine either way. ;)
I dont wanna have to save up enopugh money to buy a copy of TP and a Revolution. Im leaning tword the fact that it is a gamecube title!
i don't care what system it comes out 4 i prepaid 4 both TP and Revolutions
your so rich its not funny.. >:(
What I would like to see is a situation much like the Oracle games where the game was for one system (in this case GameCube) but has new special features when played on the new system (Revolution). Considering the GameCube will be obsolete by the end of the year, it'd make sense to adapt the mega Zelda game coming out this year for the Revolution somewhat.
zelda vet. u trying 2 say pea tear griffin is rich? :P
he knows me trust me it's true
OOC: Jack, hate to break it to you, but that comparison is somewhat lacking. I mean, in the Oracle games (as far as I know), the only extra you got for playing it on a GBA was that special store that really only sold you another ring...not enough incentive to go and buy a GBA. It wasn't for me, anyway.
IC:
I do agree that such an idea would be really great. However, I've heard a ton of people online, at EDN's forums especially, saying that they don't believe they'll have enough money to buy a Revolution when it comes out. They won't be able to use any added features, and that'll only upset and annoy them. Upsetting and annoying the fans, as I've already stated, isn't the best of ideas.
I don't know how to resolve this. Such an 'upgrade', I suppose you could call it, would be awesome, but it'd have to be something really special if Nintendo expects people to be interested enough to try it out. And if it's that special...well then, the people without Revolutions will get really annoyed that they can't do it.
Oh yeah, definitely alpha, but I meant way more than just a new shop. Nintendo does want to convince people to buy a brand new system to access the new stuff afterall.
What they should add is compatability with the new controller, a new shop (sure), new items, a new dungeon (like LA's Color Dungeon where you can get a new rare item) and extras like an image gallery, ability to view cutscenes over and over again, etc. That would make many rush out to get the Revolution.
But I agree that TP's sales will definitely suffer if the game is released soley on the Revolution. It'd be a very bad business decision.
Somehow i doubt Gamecube will become obsolete Because nintendo has dealed with this before. Way back when, The gaming systems came out called SNES, and N64. When the N64 came out with all of its glory, Nintendo continued making games for the SNES, which was a smart move, Because they would have most likely angered fans. I believe they will hang onto game cube for quite a while before they abandon it.
It won't be solely on the revolution because:
1) THe rev plays every nintendo game
2) They don't have enough time to calibrate the controller
3) The release date is set BEFORE the rev's.
That's the deal on that. It would be neat to see the bow and arrow on the rev, because of its point and aim system. Neato. And you got like 100 buttons on the dang thing. You could set every item in the bag to it! Just like metroid... No switching 40 times per second...
Oh, Hi Al. Throw that rock.
I think they are making the controller too complex. I dont like the remote style layout. And they will probably cost an arm and a leg.
Jack: I agree with you there Jack; all that extra stuff would be pure sweetness. Though I don't think TP itself will sell a lot of Revolutions...I doubt many people will buy a whole new system merely for a few extra features, even if it is Zelda. (Okay, sure,
I would, but hey! I'm just weird that way ;) ) They'll need to depend on a lot more than just some added bonuses.
And after that last sentence, I've decided to stop trying to be Sir Point-out-the-obvious-alot.
ZV: Yeah, I guess it's possible that they'll keep making NGC games even after the Revolution comes out...they've done it for the GBA even after the DS arrived. But I can't see them making very many, especially when they could just concentrate on the Revolution.
And I doubt the controller will be too much. Nintendo seems to like reasonable pricing.
ZF: Quick reminder, Nintendo still hasn't released a definite release date yet.
QuoteOh, Hi Al. Throw that rock.
...? ??? ??? ???
yea what's up with the rock thing?? Im alittle confused.. But none the less. Im just going by what ive heard. April 1rst at 12:00pm.
i've seen the controller but i don't think i'll be able to get used to it.... :-\

True, the last news was that they were releasing it for GC, and maybe released a extended version or something for the Rev.
exactly! ;)
Did you know you can download old games into your revolutioin! that way you can load all of your games into it, and then sell your GC and all the games that you already downlaoded to make enough money to buy another system as well!
Sweet going ZeV (ZElda Veteran... may I call you ZeV?)
Keep us updated on the news! My friend! ;D
everyone calls me ZV so i dont mind, and you bet i will pour all of my knoledge into this sight! that might make like a tea spoon full. :D lol
good to hear mate! ;D
i hope i get revo...........................
I WILL get it, it's a goal for me... time to get agressive... *loads shotgun*
Rock 'n Roll baby! Rev is coming to town... in a while...
GAH! I ran out of patience! Someone help me before I turn the shotgun on myself!
lol *turns saftey on* it will be a while before he realizes the saftey is on. lol yeah i want the revolution too. Ill get iut trust me!
i'm desperate to get it!!!!!!!!!!!
Who isn't? ;)
true............................
Hey, i have a question, In the Tp does Link use an Ocarina? Or some kinda instument?
I'm not sure about an ocarina or anything... But in the gameplay trailers you can see him use a straw to call a bird!
And I guess there's some instruments involved, has been in every game so far. ::)
i no he uses a straw. lol! i think its kinda weird my self using a straw 2 call 4 something e.g. epona. lol! ^^ :)
it is wierd isn't it?
yea,i think when you use straw you can call an owl or sumut..... ;D
no no no. not a drinking straw, if you watch one of the trailers i posted, you will see him take a blade of grass, or straw/hay to call the falcon to his side. lol!
that's wat i meant!
Still, considering that the game will still be for GameCube, I wonder how the note-playing system will be like for the instruments (whatever they may be): the button pressing (OoT) or the metronome (WW). It could be a new system, too! Hopefully, if that holds true, it won't take a long time to get the hang of it, like switching from the C buttons to the C stick.
