I don't know if there is enough room in the terain (I know I spelled that wrong) in Pikmin to increase the number of characters to a thousand; we'll have to wait until next gen. I bet we'll see more than a thousand Pikmin on screen at once by far. But with WW you could download a patch adding new dungeons, weapons, and lots more activity on the ocean. The ocean in WW is expansive and could feature a lot more characters at once and waves could actually swell simulating the kinds of storms I had anticipated in a game built around sailing.

I'm just saying the Revolution will open the bandwidth up; it doesn't mean much of a visual difference, but it could mean more characters in the fields of TP (maybe a thousand was a bloated number; I'm just running on how many characters were hyped by MS to be going on screen in Kameo). If we're lucky we could get a special item like the four sword and foward compatibility with the Revolution motion controller.

I expect Nintendo to do something this week to throw MS off their game. They need to give us some information. I'm getting confused as to whether Zelda will even come out on GC despite what Nintendo's people have said. The latest rumors smell to me of moving to the Revolution. How do you fit a hundred hours on a GC disk? They're doing motion capture for some of the characters. They're using ideas that had been reserved for next generation's Zelda. That freaky hand coming out of the character riding the wolf would work well with the Revolution remote as would all of Link's weapons and magical items. The game can be ported over to Revolution with the stroke of a key and suddenly every bottle neck that had existed would disappear. Suddenly they could have much more AI, many more polygons, much more vast areas, fully realized trees, lighting effects, clearer textures, etc. The game on GC thus far looks almost as good as some of the 360 games. The only difference is that the 360 games are in HD, utilize stronger lighting effects, and bump mapping effects. Zelda TP already features well shaped polygonal models that could be quickly improved without the next generation hardware taking a hit. Once the lighting effects are turned on full blast on the next gen hardware the game should look better than Kameo which leans heavily on surface effects (360 games have that PC look to them).

It's for Gamecube, period...This has been brought up way too many times to count...

Bills right Nemo....sorry to get your hopes up, but it's definitely being tailored to the GC. It's going to max out the GC's potential and thus end this gen with a bang.

Don't get me wrong. Nobody said that adding a demo or something for fowards-compatability wasn't possible or not going to happen, so if your going to hope for something, it ought (sp?) to be that.

um, no, I dont want to be able to control 1000 pikmin, it would make the game too easy, you might as well make it unlimited.

Anyone here a manager for Gamestop?

I've heard a rumor of an email going down through the ranks there giving some info on Twighlight Princess.

I'll just get flamed for saying more, or even for just saying this.

All I'm saying is there is an email about the game going around at Gamestop. Hopefully someone can verify.

But if some who works there cannot say its so, I get to go kick my source's @$$.

That reminds me, Im hoping that whatever preorder bonus Nintendo gives, that it will be available around here, although giving Nintendo's trend of overpricing to hell everything for us, and Harrison mentioning a posible $60 special edition, Ill probably end up paying as much as $80 $90

stevey · « **Reply #1781 on:** November 27, 2005, 11:59:07 AM »

"I'll just get flamed for saying more"

What is it? A t-shirt, gold case, golden gamecube, golden reggielution, golden top for the cube, free money with every purchase, link's sword/hat/tunic/pants, wolf mask, a T rating, 100 dollar price tag, zelda's , $60 special edition, cube-zelda bundle, $19 reg. edition, a M rating, or a hot coffie side quest? TELL ME! (sorry for a run on setences.)

Oh no, the adhesive wore out on the Zelda thread.

Whyyyy?? I never thought the day would come

Mario · « **Reply #1783 on:** November 27, 2005, 05:06:33 PM »

Haha, I guess whoever originally stickied it figured the game would be out by now, and nobody talks about games that are out.

norebonomis · « **Reply #1784 on:** November 27, 2005, 05:35:40 PM »

i for one am enjoying the suspense and the speculation.
the revolution is just a hard drive and memory upgrade with integrated wifi, it plugs into the bottom or your gamecube ala GBP.
and the nintendo ON video was made by my grandmother over night wired on adoral.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #1785 on:** December 02, 2005, 09:44:08 AM »

I don't know if I can deal with no info from now until it releases.
Though maybe some Revolution infos would be satiate my hunger for details

nemo_83 · « **Reply #1786 on:** December 02, 2005, 10:45:03 AM »

I know we all just love GameInformer, but they said Zelda will likely be delayed until next fall (revolution launch day) and the following quote was on gonintendo.com earlier.

"Game Informer also says they have heard that the project may be jumping the GameCube ship to head to the shores of Revolution. While Nintendo themselves have come out and said that Twilight Princess is definitely coming out on GameCube, they have been known to pull the wool over our eyes many times in the past."

Nintendo responds (can also be found at gonintendo.com)

“The rumours that are currently doing the rounds are nonsense. Mr Iwata and Mr Miyamoto have always maintained that Zelda: Twilight Princess will be released exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube. Of course, it will be playable on Revolution as the Revolution is backwards-compatible with the GameCube. The Revolution may of course see its own Zelda outing in the future.”

Well considering Nintendo finally stepped up to deny this rumor of the game going to Revolution I still believe it will not come out until the Revolution launches no matter if that's April or November 2006. Nintendo doesn't want to lose its biggest software investment ever to the hype of next generation graphics. I really believe playing the game on Revolution will change the experience offering limitless incentive for picking up the game in spite of Halo 3 being available on 360. The most obvious and easiest use of the new hardware would be the controller. It only took them a few weeks to get MP2 up and working the remote.

Edit:

And spong says, "There is a strong chance we hear, that Zelda will come bundled with the Revolution as a 'showpiece' backwards-compatible title at launch."

IceCold · « **Reply #1787 on:** December 02, 2005, 08:02:29 PM »

Haha GameInformer and Spong...

What the heck, I clicked on the opening post link and its a profile for some homo. Someone should really delete that link.

Ahaha, my EYES!

Okay now, back on topic...I hear Reggie "confirmed" an April release to Club Nintendo, so if there's any confirmation of this it'd be greatly appreciated...

Giving the recent Zelda movie fiasco on Club Nintendo I dont trust them as much anymore, I havent heard about a confirmed april release though.

and LOL again at the first link, I knew about it before but I didnt expect this "controversy" for lack of a better word, after the title change for "Zelda: toilet paper" I thought that norebonomis was fooling around with that first link also.

First, I really hope you're not referring to the hole in the giant blue dome that's in the center of the goddamn island, because if you are that's kinda sad. Second, how can you think you found everything (and you mean 100%) in the game when you're still missing sea charts, treasures, and heart pieces?

First off, no, I'm not. I'm talking about the other hole, the one you don't seem to be aware of. The one that you can't enter without the hookshot, where you fight several summoning Wizrobes.

And I thought one could logically infer, from what I said, that I thought I'd achieved 100%, excluding the obvious exception of sea charts and hearts, which I mention. Let's not, y'know, actually attempt to understand what someone is saying by understanding the entire paragraph, rather than one sentence taken out of context.

I THINK IT'S TIME NINTENDO POSTED ANOTHER 6 SCREENSHOTS TO SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SORRY YOUR NOVEMBER WAS LAME WITHOUT ZERUDA (yeah right)

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #1796 on:** December 05, 2005, 12:05:30 PM »

lol, we should atleast get another trailer showing some new stuff and give us an idea of what's going on.

So far I hear they still can't decide weither this will take place after OOT or WW, it's all still up in the air.

Despite mentioning it at GDC and E3. We'll see I guess. Man Zelda couldn't come sooner enough.

I wonder... If Midna is connected to the.... Master Sword!? hmmm...

mantidor · « **Reply #1797 on:** December 05, 2005, 12:48:21 PM »

no! s much as I want to remain spoiler free I couldnt resist to see new screenshots ;_; for me they can hold on any info on the game and Ill be happy.

Zach · « **Reply #1798 on:** December 06, 2005, 11:53:10 AM »

Well I was thinking it might be in between OOT and wind waker, because of the intro to wind waker it describes how Ganon came again, and the hero didnt come to save hyrule. Perhaps the hero did come.

The only problem is that Link would have to lose to Ganon (NOOOOOOOO!!!!) in the end so the gods would flood hyrule, or perhaps Ganon got so powerful that not even link could stop him, so the point of the game would be to unleash the power of the gods to stop Ganon (maybe link wouldnt know that he was infact destroying hyrule himself by releasing the gods)

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1799 on:** December 06, 2005, 12:03:21 PM »

Sadly enough, that scenario may be close...It's been hinted in interviews that TP will have a sad ending, and said scenario would definitely be enough to use up a few boxes of kleenex... ;_;

It'd actually be really cool to have a final battle with Ganon as the land starts to flood...It'd be similar to the water leaking in during the final battle in Wind Waker... =D
