Zelda Twilight Princess: Wii or Gamecube?

[ctrl-alt-delete]

With new information on the Wii version of Twilight Princess coming out all the time, I'm curious which version of Twilight Princess everyone is planning on getting?

I am still undecided myself, mainly cause I'd have to drop $250 to get a Wii in order to play the Wii version. It's either that or wait two weeks longer to get the Gamecube version. Then there's the Wii controls, which I'm still not convinced about. (though I feel I am slowly being swayed)

btw, keep other Zelda separate from this thread, ok?

Actually, they will have to wait three weeks. November 19th-December 11th.

I had already preordered the GCN version before they announced the Wii version, but I got it switched over. Wii all the way for me, baby.

Like erm2003, I'd like to play the Wii version because I don't want to just play a supped up OoT. But Mak-X makes a good point when he reminds us that the game was originally designed for the Gamecube.

Knowing me I will probably buy both, cause Nintendo knows I'm a sucker.

I'll definitely buy the Wii version and only the Wii version. Not sure how well the controls have been converted for the Wiimote, but I have enough confidence in Ninty. :)

After the massive success of the DS, I too am pretty confident in Nintendo. However the control system still could be hit or miss with me.

Argh, Nintendo is pushing my buttons. I planned on getting the GCN version since they were originally going to be launched simultaneously, but since its release date is nearly a month after the Wii version (GCN: 12/11/06; Wii: 11/19/06)...

So 85 more days of waiting for me. Unless I get a Wii before so.

Wii. The truth of the matter is, I don't actually own a Gamecube (had one for years, but it was actually my roommate's, and he's since moved out). Therefore, since I'll be buying a system anyway, might as well just buy a Wii.

You know though, truth of the matter is, this is one game where I have difficulty imagining the controls to be terribly intuitive. I dunno... I guess it's that the camera angle has you a little removed from the action. Fishing's definitely gonna rock though, of course.

I think I'm going to be debating which version to get until the bitter end. I read two articles today, one in favor of the Wii controls, the other undecided (saying the sword play is gimmicky - and this is TSA speaking). Check'm out.

I'll probably buy the Wii version, and if I don't like the controls, pickup the GC version later.

That's pretty much what I was thinking, too...

That sucks that the GCN version is going to be released later. Good marketing scheme, but I don't plan on getting a Wii right away. I'm just going to wait for the GCN version.

[MottZilla]

They say it's not a scheme, but that they couldn't get the GCN version ready at the same time as the Wii version for some reason. It very well could be true.
