Why are you banging your... let's see here.
Oh. The Twilight Princess delay. So? Big deal.
Here, I thought Joe leiberman was opening his flabby face again.
As you can see, I'm not overexcited by Twilight Princess.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of delays....
Kingdom Hearts II is also delayed until next year as well. Probably not as anticipated as LoZ:TP, but still a pretty big game.
What are you complaining about? Think for a second.
Odds are you'll be alive in 2006 and by then Twilight Princess will be way better than a Christmas '05 release. And if they release it for the Revolution, that's all the more better. It'll have super graphics and will run smooth as butter.
But I swear if they give Link dialogue, I'll be ripping someone's throats out.
Much as I'd hate it if they released it for the Revolution, it would be a really, really good financial move. It would automatically give them a hand over PS3 and Xbox 360, plus the fact that it's cheaper and arguably has more reasons to buy it anyway.
A LOZ: TP bundle would sell like effing crazy.

Why release it for the Revolution when they can release it for the Gamecube? Practically everyone who has a Cube will buy it, and then those that don't have a Cube will either a) buy a Cube just for Zelda or b) wait and buy the Revolution which will also be able to play the game.
It won't be good financially. They have most of the game done. If they make it for the Revolution, its just more time spent to update resources, and you looking at having to spend even more money in development time. Plus, having a game + system bundle on launch would most likely have them rasing the price. I'm sure they don't want to loose money on having it be bundled free. 😊
And besides, its not like Nintendo isn't going to make a Zelda game for the Revolution.
Because if you release it for Gamecube, then it just makes people buy a 50 dollar game, thats it: most people that are going to buy it already have a GCN.
If you release it for Revolution, it will probably have more options and things, but it will also assure that the Revolution Sales will be ridiculously high, therefore assuring that people DO buy the Rev and don't just stop after TP for GCN. Also if there isn't a good launch Mario Title this could be a backfall.
I can't say I'm surprised, practically every major Nintendo project has slipped at some time (just look at OOT).
And anyway, if they use the time to ensure that it doesn't turn out to be a dissapointment like the Wind Waker was, it'll be better for us in the long run.

The Revolution will be able to run any and all GCN games, thus making a transfer unneeded. For one, there will be people who buy it for the GCN, yes, but there may also be people who'd buy the Revolution to play it if they don't want an older console -- the Revolution would be more worth buying regardless because there's a whole new lineup of games to look forward to.
I'm not overexcited about the game, because I no longer subject myself to game material for future releases that get me orgasmic over it.
Last I did that was with MP2 becuase it had been two years since the release of MP1 and I was excited over it. When it was released, I was still overhyped, so I enjoyed it. In the end it was a good game... but it sucked as a Metroid. :shrug:
I can just hope TP isn't a disappointment to the series (With such a long delay to add tons of elements, I'd hope it'd be great) and that it's actually better than OoT.
You can never hope to better OoT, because it's ingraned itself in people's minds. They remember it being so utterly fantastic (rightly so, it was) that they won't allow anything to come close. As good as the new Zelda will (hopefully) be, in the hearts and minds of gamers it will never be 'better' then OoT. If we're very, VERY lucky, it may be as good as Ocarina. But never better.

Apparantly, Twilight Princess will be the last Zelda game as we know it in it's present form, and that Miyamoto has put more work into this than any other game, in attempts to make the best Zelda game ever.
This leads me to think, what will future Zelda games be like if they will be different from the current form?
as long as it's not "Link's and Zelda's A-B-Cs and 1-2-3s!", I'll probably be happy
that part where Shigeru said he has invested more into this game than any other is very exciting. I can't wait to see all the neat shit he's added to this since the previews at E3 (I'm still a bit concerned about playing as a wolf, though)

Vegeta - think virtual. Put on a pair of special glasses and see Hyrule in full 3D, right in front of your eyes. Live it. I'd spend so much money on something like that. We're starting to see more interactive games come out now - the Eye Toy, for example, or that new Golf game I've seen advirtised on TV. I could well imagine Nintendo taking it to the next level.
I think the true question is...what if there are special unlockables in the game that you can only achieve through playing it on the Revolution?
I would buy a Revolution for just that...not that I was not going to be a complete fanboy and buy one anyways.

well, no, but that's because I had no idea Link actually turned into a rabbit before I bought the game. I'm not so much concerned playing AS a wolf, as PLAYING the wolf. you know, gameplay. I know TP will be one of the best Zelda games ever, if not THE. I'm just saying...
Yeah, I see what you're saying. I have faith that they'll get it right though.
And when is someone gonna ask which 5 games I consider dissapointments?
I will ask...but I will also guess.
The three CD-I games, obviously. AoL...and...WW?

I'm quite sure this is something to do with the Revolution (after all, they did say it would "change the way we play games"😉. I don't doubt that whatever the console's "revolutionary" features are, Nintendo is going to make sure the next Zelda uses them to their full potential.
Unless Nintendo has something interesting planned for DS...

hey man I have to wait for Tekken 5: DR to come out too 😛
It's a good idea for them to push it back. It's way too early, and they don't want to disappoint fans, despite the push back which people are disappointed with...
I'm in full support of pushing games back if need be. Sometimes you need the extra few months to really finish a game, or just to work out all the bugs (I'm looking at you, Warrior Within). We may not have it for Christmas, but we WILL get it around April-ish, when there are fewer games out. It'll be nice to really have time to play it then.
Im so angry wait till my brother hears.
They say a lot of interesting stuff in that article. A lot of stuff that will take a lot to live up to. I hope they don't totally dissapoint us.
Well, everyone was bitching about voice acting...maybe this is there way of throwing that in there too?
BTW, Vegeta...and I know you will read this. I do not know if you caught it...but the DS game is not a FS game...
We debated that a while ago...I was right. 😛

Aonuma said it was going to be a FS game at one point, but I read recently that that may not be the case anymore.
I would love a FS game on the DS that utilizes internet play. The original Four Swords is a blast to play, but I only have one other friend to play it with and he moved away 😞 I'm sure there are many people who bought LTTP for the GBA that have never gotten to play it. It would make sense for them to do one, just like it makes sense for them to do a FF:CC game (which they are doing) - cause hardly anyone got to experience it on the Cube.
But, anything would be better than another Minish Cap, which I consider to be the worst Zelda game made to date. (CD-i games excluded)
Yeah, I have never gotten to play either of the Four Swords games, but they look fun. I think it would be cool to hit up some multiplayer Zelda.
Do you want to know what I honestly hope for in the Zelda DS game?
Toon shading, with more mature character models. (3D graphics)
Menu touch screen, for fast selection of items.
...So far, that is all I can come up with.
Anyways, I do believe Aonuma said there would still be some form of online play...wonder how that will work out.
Anybody think they might do what I mentioned early, and have some special unlockables for later produced GCN games if you play them on the Revolution, like Twilight Princess for example?
Nintendo made a wise choice delaying the game. The game will be so polished when it is released that you will be blinded by the light reflecting off of the disc while you all unwrap the box and drive home at the same time thus causing catastrophic accidents all around the world. :|
I heard it was delayed because they simply couldn't make it and needed more time to finish up, rather than to make an already spiffy game spiffier. I don't know how credible this is. Has anyone else heard this? Either way, I know this game is going to be great and I can definitely wait until April or even December (probably won't do that, though). The videos from GameSpy will hold me over until then. So I agree with Radium... About it being a wise choice; not about the unavoidable catastrophy -- that'll go down because people will ignore stop lights, stop signs, and hit pedestrains and random dead babies trying to get home faster.
Just picture a cop pulling someone over...
"Do you realize you just ran two stop signs while going 45 MPH over the speed limit and hit a dead baby... Why are you smiling?"
*Holds up new Zelda in a spastic manor*
"Holy smokes! Is that the new Zelda? It's here?! I've got to go get me a copy or three! Never mind about this, son. And don't worry about the dead baby; it was already dead. Fly home and play like you've never played before!"
*speeds off, hits some lady in the way*
"I love the young people. Oh! I've got to get going!"
... I'm not sure if dead baby jokes are really appropriate (I haven't been here in years) but I'll go ahead and post this anyway.
Ah, as long as it's only in jest I'm sure you're fine. We're pretty cool here, thankfully, or I wouldn't have gotten very far..! I don't mind about the delay, I've started to plunder through my back catalogue of games, and that'll take me forever to get through. Slugging through Anachronox ATM. Good game.
