It's 2004 all over again!

Halo 2.1 will cause massive earthquakes when it's released this fall.

"I actually think it's a bad idea to launch Zelda and Metroid on the same day. They're both gonna cut into each other's sales."

I hear this sort of thing all the time. What sort of tool would buy Metroid or Zelda and then NEVER buy the other game because they came out at the same time? Are we only going to pick one and forget the other? Sometimes I would say a simultaneously release would be bad because one game is more minor than the other so people honestly do forget about the more minor game. But I don't think any Nintendo fan would completely neglect a Zelda or Metroid game. They'll buy both, they just might wait a bit. I think Wii early adopters will buy Metroid on day one and Zelda will initially sell more with Cube owners taking a wait-and-see approach.

This concept is pretty much indisputeable, it's pretty obvious that two major releases would cut into one another's sales, which is why it's seldom (if ever) done. Think it over for a minute and I think you'll see what I mean. Also, it's in the best interest of each publisher to sell as many copies as fast as they can. Certainly, Nintendo won't mind taking this little hit because the primary objective is to sell the hardware, but any other time, releasing a Metroid and Zelda on the same day is a HUGE no-no.

Lemme put it to you this way... Zelda:TP or Prime 3 would *DEFINITELY* sell more copies if it were to be released on it's own, without the other being available on launch day. I don't see how you could disagree with that.

They're my two favorite series of all time, and I'ma have to hold back a nut when picking them both up at the same time for a brand new Nintendo system. But still... I think it'd be better if Prime 2 was pushed back 'til December (assuming Wii launches in October as speculated).

You know that scene from Half-Baked, where Dave Chappel is handed that pound of budz?

Yeah -- it's gonna be like that.

But seriously, we have what looks to be the best Mario, the best Zelda, and the best Metriod of all time releasing this fall, with two releasing for a system that also looks to be best Nintendo system in a while.

It's crazy to think about...

Yeah, when he 'blew a load'! Hehe!!

I thought that the game was launching in late October, which would basically make the game a "launch title" for the Wii, but thankfully that's not the case...Wait, now that I think of it, I believe Contact is coming out in October, too...How am I going to beat both games before Wii comes out? ;_;

Normally true, I suppose...but in this case, selling them both at launch does more than just sell hardware. Metroid will sell better at launch than it would one year into the life of the system, if Prime is any indication. And Zelda will sell better as a launch title than as a late release for a dead system. At least, that's what I think.

My point wasn't how well they'll ultimately sell, but that they're sales would cut into each other.

Kairon · « **Reply #59 on:** June 10, 2006, 11:16:23 AM »

Still, I mea, this is pretty mind-blowing.

In one fall period: Mario on GCN, Zelda on GCN/Wii, Metroid on Wii, Wario on Wii... the only one really missing from the party is Kirby!

This doesn't apply to everyone and I do kinda agree that two major franchises releasing on the same day may hurt individual game sales, but personally...

If Metroid, Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy AND Smash Bros were all Wii launch titles, I'D BUY THEM ALL DAY ONE. I bet there are some that feel the same way.

But TrueNerd, then Third Party games wouldn't sell!

Right, which is why it's good Nintendo's NOT doing that.

I forgot to post this yesterday - great new videos are up..

couchmonkey · « **Reply #65 on:** September 01, 2006, 05:33:07 AM »

Hey, has anyone heard anything about this game lately? Does it have a release date or anything? Me wantee...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #66 on:** September 01, 2006, 10:45:48 AM »

Well there are rumours that it's been pushed back as a Wii title, but other than that there's been nothing...

Artimus · « **Reply #67 on:** September 01, 2006, 02:30:15 PM »

I wish they would push it back as a Wii title. Just so they can make it MORE PRETTY. Classic controller ftw?

You know, the Wii classic controller WOULD be better for this game the GCN controler. It's got a bigger D-pad! However, if it is moved to Wii, it may use the Wiimote in some way. So it could be a good thing... or maybe not.

Ghisy · « **Reply #69 on:** September 02, 2006, 12:17:03 AM »

I want Super Paper Mario to be on the GC!!!!
So with Zelda and this game, I can say farewell to my 'Cube...*sigh*

Mario · « **Reply #70 on:** September 02, 2006, 03:24:46 AM »

If this was moved to Wii i'd buy all this just like Zelda.

mantidor · « **Reply #71 on:** September 02, 2006, 12:58:49 PM »

I dont see how you can make it more pretty, is already a beautiful game, and certainly more polygons aren't going to do anything at all. If it really was moved I can only hope they had a good reason, i.e. not a financial one.

Financial sounds like a good reason to me, video game companies aren't into the charity business. If they were we probaly wouldn't be seeing any games since none would make back the production costs which would happen if they released a game for a dead console like GC. I'm sure though that Super Paper Mario will have some more bells and whistles for Wii, even if the move was mainly for financial.

stevey · « **Reply #73 on:** September 02, 2006, 05:41:30 PM »

Most like nintendo keeping it under raps till the REGGIETON to show it off and will release it as a wii launch titles since the wii can play GC games (like zelda....)

Artimus · « **Reply #74 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:30:27 PM »

I must admit I have a hard time seeing them releasing this so close to the Wii...considering they haven't released GCN games in a couple months.

I suspect we have a move-over! But I doubt it has shocking new controls. Though, actually, this is one game that would be hilarious with the bouncing Mario gesture from the old Wii teaser. Boing boing boing boing WHAM. Instead of pressing A when you hit the enemy you actually whack them. Heheheheh.

THIS MUST HAPPEN. Goomba whacking!!!!!
