Topic: They were right! Zelda Rev

[animecyberrat]

Well, all of the GameCube games will be compatible only with GameCube accessories, so whether it’s a WaveBird or whether it’s a wired controller, you’ll only be able to play those titles with those accessories. Essentially what we’re saying is that Revolution titles are the only ones that will leverage the new controller.



TRY an deny that

Um, I could repost the quote I just put up, but since you weren't capable of reading it the first time around, why bother?

Nintendo Revolution Functionality Confirmed For Zelda: Twilight Princess
By Jeff Crosby

Reggie Fils-Aime confirms Zelda: Twilight Princess Will have Nintendo Revolution functionality

In what seems to be an endless run of Zelda rumors it looks like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princes will feature “special” Nintendo Revolution functionality. Text

In an upcoming interview with EGM, Reggie essentially confirms the rumor saying "The trick will be what makes it special to play on the Revolution, and to the extent that we could create something like that, boy, wouldn't that be fantastic?"

NO WHERE DOES IT SAY CONTORLLER it just says something special will happen when played on the rev.  The ONLY way it can use the controller is if there si an area that is unlocked when playe dona  rev and that area has some rev functionality tahst it, because otherwise its not playable as a gc only game because GC only games HAVE to be played with GC accessories.

I finally could find these scans, and it seems Zakkiel is the one who doesnt know how to read, let me transcribe the whole paragraph:

[...]
Well, theres no better way to quash that one than by going straight to Nintendo's UK PR manager RobSaunders, He says: "Nintendo has always promised and mantained that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be a Nintendo GmeCube title. Mr Miyamoto and Mr Aonuma are still fully committed to bringing Twilight PRincess to GameCube owners worldwide later this year"
So there you have it- it will be on GameCube. Which brings us onto the second bit of tittle-tattle, that Twilight Princess will also be coded to work with the revolution Freehand controller. As it's already been confirmed that the backwardly-compatible revolution will play all Game Cube games, it wouldnt be  too hard to add some extra code to every version of the fame, making it compatible with revolution's ground breaking controller"
[...]

So of course if you read the bolded sentence out of context, it looks like the magazine is confirming it, but thats not the case, they are just talking about the second rumor, seriously, english is not even my main language and I could get that.

First of all, do you know how utterly stupid that would be business wise? That means for people to enjoy games that don't require a special controller (e.g. Donkey Konga), they still have to buy GC controllers. Nintendo would essentially piss off all those people who's first console is a REV and don't have GC controllers already. Also, Nintendo would have to keep producing an old controller, which is obviously bad for Nintendo.

Secondly, read this qoute again...

>>Speaking of GameCube, if you play a GameCube game on the new Revolution console, will you be able to use the Revolution controller or will you have to use the older style of controller?

Well, all of the GameCube games will be compatible only with GameCube accessories, so whether it’s a WaveBird or whether it’s a wired controller, you’ll only be able to play those titles with those accessories. Essentially what we’re saying is that Revolution titles are the only ones that will leverage the new controller.<<

Where does it say GC games built with Revolution compatiblity? It doesn't. If that's what Zelda really is, then it wouldn't apply. Remember, just because Zelda is slated for the GC doesn't mean that there isn't anything special about it. So grouping it with the rest of the games could potentially be a mistake.

Again, you have to recall the first time this story popped up; the NGC article that started it all. Remember when Nintendo "debunked" it the first time? They could have ended the speculation right there and then, but instead they covered it up. It almost seems like they stomped the fire out, just so they could later revive it later with gas-drenched logs.

I don't want to go into the rest of the information that further spurred speculation, but you must agree that there is some degree of truth to it. It may not be as full-fledge as the rest of the majority and I are hoping, but some Revmote functionality will be present.

It's an awesome idea even if they don't implement realistic sword play. Everything in the game can benefit with the use of the revmore; be it the camera or the items.

I've never had anyone speak the term "tittle-tattle" in my presence, ever.

They couldn't have picked a worse word to use unless their aim was to confuse readers unfamiliar with the term.

[animecyberrat]

except they will piss of gc owners if tp becomes  rev game at all. and it would make sense for them to KEEP GC accessories on the market for as long as people are buying them, thats better business. I admitted several times YES its possible the game will have SOMETHING special on the rev, but when they make so many statements about it BEING a GC game AND then say GC games WONT benefit from REV controls I get the feeling that they are meaning something else, like a secret level or something, where THEN the revmote could be used, but in the main game it CANT because it would have to be a REV game.

Thanks mantidor; that's why I posted the other quote. The magazine said "OK, now onto the next rumour.." and then later on the article said what I posted earlier - "the development team is being tight-lipped"

So NOTHING is confirmed..
