Author Topic: 2 versions of Zelda? (Read 8181 times)

apparently, rumors a re Zelda will be delayed yet again.

anyways, i remember sega releasing sonic 3d blast for both genesis and saturn at the same time, also EA releases ps1, and ps2 versions of the same game all the time(or at least does in a transition).

What if this is what Nintendo plans to do?

Mario · « **Reply #1 on:** February 13, 2006, 04:07:31 PM »

Hmm, they'd have to give it a HUGE overhaul to pass it off as a worthy Revolution game, but maybe that's what they've been doing all along?

But then... why would anyone buy the inferior GC version?

This is a massive pickle!

We won't know if it's really been delayed until Nintendo releases apologetic screenshots.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #3 on:** February 13, 2006, 04:12:46 PM »

Never Happening.

I REALLY want to see this on the GC only, as Nintendo has said time and time again that it would be. Extras I don't mind, but two versions of the game? Don't think so. I never understood why people wanted it that way anyway, I wouldn't want my Rev Zelda game to come out at launch, Zelda games are never launch titles. Boourns.

Hey that was a good point cuz even the Gensis Sonci 3d out sold the satuirn one and Sega apparnetly hs burried its form thier own databanks and only re-releases the Genesis version, which is FAR INFERIOR to teh Saturn version. Both still fun games but niether one sold that good.

I think there's GUN on both the Xbox and Xbox 360, if anyone cares. (Not me, though maybe I'm hasty.)

TheYoungerPlumber · « **Reply #6 on:** February 13, 2006, 05:35:52 PM »

Delayed "again"? You know, Nintendo never said April. They said next fiscal year. They could announce a November date and it wouldn't be delayed again.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #7 on:** February 13, 2006, 08:43:36 PM »

How can you delay a game that doesn't have a release date? =/

Mario · « **Reply #8 on:** February 13, 2006, 09:12:15 PM »

We know.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #9 on:** February 13, 2006, 11:42:39 PM »

They could always delay it till 2007.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #10 on:** February 14, 2006, 01:05:13 AM »

Nintendo.com says April, so that's when I believe it will be out >=o

but yeah it'll be delayed ;___;

Mario · « **Reply #11 on:** February 14, 2006, 02:42:36 AM »

Where? It just says 2006 from what I can see.

Ceric · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2006, 04:14:33 AM »

You know. Thinking about this Nintendo really dropped the ball with this one. There theme this time around and next is ease of developement and here there are with there premier title of 2006 and they keep changing it's date. It will have been delayed for more than a year by release. This is a case of "Do as I say not as I do". (Well more like "Believe what I say, not what I've proved.")

Woah, that's weird. I looked at it only like a day before I made that post and I could have sworn it said April.

*pats back* It's ok. This happens to me more often then I like. A good cover up will also change the past documents too.

Epitaph · « **Reply #17 on:** February 14, 2006, 11:10:24 AM »

joystic has an article claiming that the bestbuy date was wrong and someone got a corrected email fixing the date to april

couchmonkey · « **Reply #18 on:** February 15, 2006, 06:32:22 AM »

Why, with backwards compatability in there? Sega's not a particularly good company to emulate anyway.

ThePerm · « **Reply #19 on:** February 15, 2006, 06:44:56 AM »

what if they released both disks in one package?

animecyberrat · « **Reply #20 on:** February 15, 2006, 08:16:26 AM »

Thats been done before also, when 32X Cd games came out they came with the original Sega CD version AND the enhanced 32X CD versions, they never sold very good either.

I just hope that when Zelda comes out that its enough to hold me over till the RVE, I am getting more excited for Rev everyday as my GC is started to show its age and I been playing 360 now that I have a friend with one.

Im not happy about this whole deal though T_T

MattVDB · « **Reply #25 on:** May 10, 2006, 05:05:43 PM »

Wait wait wait. They never said the GC version wouldn't have the advancements when played on Wii. They only said there would be "two versions." What that could mean, is that they have two different packages for it, one for GCN one for Wii. It's hopeful, but hey, it's possible. Also, didn't they say there would be two versions of it a long time ago? A regular, and a special edition? Doesn't that still fall in line, or did I miss something?

Shecky · « **Reply #26 on:** May 10, 2006, 05:17:56 PM »

hahaha

I'm fine with the deal... not like I can say I'm surprised

All of you can keep wishfully thinking that you'll essentially get two games for the price of one. Tell me why it is not in Nintendo best interest to release TP and then release a different title for the REV - likely using a slightly modified engine in roughly a year. You'd have two distinct and bona fide titles because the REV title could make use of the "REVmote" in ways that could provide a unique and intuitive experience not easily translated to a gamecube controller.

I'd be happy for a slight discount when I buy both, but won't bother me if there isn't one...

mantidor · « **Reply #27 on:** May 10, 2006, 05:21:19 PM »

I hate you

You know, the usual complain of the remote is that it was going to be used to replace buttons for gestures, we can argue endlessly if this applies to red steel, mario galaxy, metroid prime 3 etc etc etc and never came to an agreement, but with the Zelda theres no argument, the proof is right there, the implementation is just replacing buttons for gestures, we know this because the GC version exists.

Shecky · « **Reply #28 on:** May 10, 2006, 05:52:19 PM »

mantidor: well it will be interesting to see how much they tweaked/changed to compensate for the game play differences. It's certainly not as much as they could have done if designing it for Wii from the get go. More enemies b/c you can aim easier? Stuff like that. This Wii version was a "get it out there" version just to capitalize on the title, and it looks like they did a good job. I'm happy they put some thought into it, came up with some clever mappings and made it fun... it could have been much worse.

As for the other games, everyone is going to have a control preference.... that's why you can argue all day about "red steel, mario galaxy, metroid prime 3 etc etc ".

In example, Excite Truck... I just picture disliking the controls (although I will try it for a fair bit before passing judgement). Reason being that I've basically trained hard *not* to move the controller to control vehicles in games. It's a classic "hey that kid is tilting the controller to try and steer!" I've seen plenty of kids do it, and I probably did it too. So trying to go against all that may make it uncomfortable for me... but for that kid, it could make his day!

IceCold · « **Reply #29 on:** May 10, 2006, 06:56:13 PM »

I won't judge the control scheme from TP - it was just a business decision. I'll wait for the real Wii Zelda for that..
