Agreed, but at least it's now more or less confirmed

Well, ideally, if the game is so good, you'd want to keep playing more Zelda games if you weren't a fan already. So to play more Zelda console games you'd be buying a Revolution eventually anyway. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

"So to play more Zelda console games you'd be buying a Revolution eventually anyway."

Yeah but I could always wait for Zelda to be released on the Rev and thus benefit from price cuts or new colours. So I either have to buy a Rev at launch which I might not want to do. Or I have to wait probably a few years to unlock a piece of Twilight Princess. That's a little annoying.

Plus I'm iffy about how the Rev will work with existing franchises, particularly with a pretty deep complex game like Zelda that isn't really all that non-gamer friendly. If Zelda becomes the sword swinging game that some people seem to want it to become then I'm not interested. But my Cube Zelda game still has content I can't access. So there better be a good reason why and not being possible to do on the Cube would be a good one.

Afterall Nintendo has talked about this being the last Zelda as we know it so it's not fair to assume we'll like a new "vision" of Zelda. We might not. If Four Swords became the new standard I wouldn't buy a system just to play it like I will do with current Zelda games. I like Four Swords and would buy it if I already owned the system for some other reason but it wouldn't sell me a system on its own. Zelda has to remain a system-seller.

"its only going t o be like 4 months in between revolution and zelda"

If that's in response to my "few years" comment I was referring to when the Rev Zelda game comes out (ie: when a Zelda fan has a reason to buy a Rev) which I assume would be a few years from now.

My bet is that TP will be released sometime before or after E3 (soon after).

Imagine Nintendo demoing the possibilities of the REV with many different titles that are underway. Then imagine them bringing the already released or about to be released TP to the stage floor and Miyamoto showing us how TP will play on the REV. Miyamoto shows us how sword fighting on horse-back will be that much more immersive, with him holding the controller up towards the ceiling and Link holding his sword up towards the sky. He then jousts the Pig boss and realistically slashes the boss right off of his horse.

Miyamoto for the WIN!

How much hype would that build?! It would be IanSANE. In fact, it would blow away any margain of doubt left in even the most skeptical. What better game to show how classic gaming can improve then the best series of all time?! If they launched TP directly afterwards, people would go nuts. They'd buy it just for the prospect of playing it on the REV sometime down the line. However, they'll enjoy it on the Cube no doubt.

Then before the REV launches (starting in September/October), Nintendo reminds us of the gem of a game we already have and it's ability to be played on the REV. Not only that, but shows us again how killer games such as Metriod, Smash Bros., Mario Paint (wishful thinking) and the OFFICAILY ANNOUNCE Camelot RPG play on the REV.

REV would be locked up

Gah, it's posts like that which can whip me into a fanboy frenzy if I'm not careful...

If this was Reggie's quote on the subject...

Quote
Reggie: Exactly. I think that our senior management has made it very clear that bringing Zelda: Twilight Princess out on GameCube is important, that we want to satisfy the GameCube fan base and have it be on that system. You've said the obvious, which is that [because] Revolution's backward compatible, it will almost effectively be a launch title for Revolution. The trick will be what makes it special to play on Revolution, and to the extent that we could create something like that, boy, wouldn't that be fantastic? Certainly one of the things that I would love to see is something that makes Zelda, when it's played on Revolution, do something magical. And I think that any Nintendo fan would love to see that.

Then I think we have to expect SOMETHING more than simply fishing with the Rev controller.

I expect it to be more like RE

S where you use the stylus to knife-slash enemies but it's not the main focus of the game. The mounted combat would be perfect for this.

NGC declared it
Nintendo "denied" it, saying it is pure speculation, but never say that it's not going to happen
NGC declared it once again
Nintendo says its a nice idea and would be cool if implemented

Miyamoto Confirms Zelda: TP is forward compatible with the Rev!?

Source = Nintendo-Europe.com

Not that most of us havn't been expecting this the entire time(why else delay, delay, delay?), but now it seems to be confirmed

From the interviewer: "we weren't expecting Mr. Miyamoto to be quite so open in his interview answers during his visit - but it's great he's announcing these things, especially the Zelda/Revolution control - apparently you can use the wand as the string on the bow, pulling it back as you're riding epona with the analogue stick."

It's not like there hasn't been unlockable content in non-nintendo games. Ian, you'll survive... and at the very least i'll invite you over to my place so play / unlock the content on my revolution.

mantidor · « **Reply #116 on:** March 15, 2006, 02:38:24 PM »

Bah... Whats bugging me now is that Im seriously concerned about what Nintendo really thinks about of the potential of the controller, if they think its just ok to cram this functionality in last gen games then I have my doubts on the kind of original software they are going to put for the Rev, this is 180 degree turn in my views of Nintendo as developer, and a big slap to their loyal fans who bought a GC in the first place.

Now my hype for the revolution has dropped completly, Ill just wait and see.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #117 on:** March 15, 2006, 03:14:26 PM »

It's their way of showing how the controller is actually practical in "old" games. haha TP is old.

TOTAL FLOP

"why else delay, delay, delay?"

No, nintendo has said before they have been working to just get it out on the cube for a long time and that why it got delay first place, (zelda is a big game and there a lot to do in it to make it great), but only in last few month they said their think about adding rev stuff since everyone wont stop bug and asking them about it over and over and now there doing the whole adding rev stuff which will be rushed and make the game and the rev look bad and redelay even more so it's a rev launch game. We could have been playing it by may/june but now not intill the late fall, happy "OMG zelda rev compatible" evil romor starters?

Yeah, much like Mario 64 proved they had no good ideas for original games for the DS.

Mario kart ds shows that Nintendo does not have faith in the touch screen for anything other than a sparkling innovation.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #122 on:** March 15, 2006, 07:06:22 PM »

Mario Kart DS was evolutionary. Nintendogs was revolutionary. Nintendo has room for both in it's big blue ocean.

Of course I have a reason for being so whiny

, the game I was most exited about is getting additions that I cant find even remotely interesting, but I have to wait longer anyway.

My concerns are real though, but I suppose E3 and demos of real games being tried by the public with give me a better look of what real revolution games will offer.

ThePerm · « **Reply #124 on:** March 16, 2006, 04:18:38 PM »

well it would seem as though ian sane's logic is flawed..there will be no space in between zelda and reovlution...it will be released at the same time!

meanwhile metroid prime hunters is coming out by tuesday
