srsly
Like for real, let's talk about Zelda. I'm so into that mang, cause I'm tired of talking bad about it. Confession time: I've been wanting to like Zelda since it disappointed me at E3. For realz, I'm more excited than anyone at PGC about Zelda and they think I hate it. Such is my pain.
Episode 24: Let's Not Forget Zelda
You can also listen to the podcast on Odeo.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO ZELDA SPOILERS IN THIS PODCAST, SO ALL OF YOU CRYBABIES ARE CLEARED TO LISTEN.
Old director Jonathan Metts (boo) and new director Steven Rodriguez (yay) join Karl and me to talk about PGC staff changes and Zelda. We also take a moment to whine about the US Virtual Console lineup, while still giving Nintendo credit for even having a Virtual Console.
Like, let's get this straight. I know we're considered a "fansite" by a lot of people. But Zelda looks so zomg amazing that anyone who thinks otherwise is seriously not a gamer. Why hate on something that looks so good? I'm not afraid to make such a harsh generalization, but since I work for Planet GameCube, I guess I'm allowed.
Okay, I'm done. We've got a new e-mail address but it's a secret. So send us e-mails as soon as you figure out what it is.

You do not price a product by what is "fair" You price it by what consumers will pay. Genesis (Mega Drive) was not as popular in Japan, so perhaps they calculated that they will need to sell the Sega games at a lesser price in Japan to get the best volume for a return on their investment. (See a supply and demand graph)
Secondly, maybe one the the reasons for less N64 games, is the fact there are less N64 games. If you released 5 games a week for the NES and 5 games a week for the 64, you would run out of N64 games years before you ran out NES games.
Lastly, in regards to the camera issue, why can't a developer make another button, say the 1 button, a toggle for adjusting the camera? Click on the button and move the wiimote around.

Anyway, I think the reason Nintnedo is giving japan all these extra things like more virtual console games and being the first ones to use the online service is because America is getting the Wii and Zelda before they do.
Imagin this all you halo fans, how would you feel if microsoft brought Halo 3 to Europe 2 weeks before it comes to america? Bunji is an american company so you'd be mad that it's coming out in a country different from the one it was made in. Wll probably Japan feels the same way about twilight princess and Wii so to counter that Nintendo says: Hey look, sorry about that but we'll give you stuff that American's won't get, like more virtual console games and you all will be able to play on online Wii game before they do.
It's sort of to cool the flame that has probably lit itself in Japan.

Yeah, the VC lineup is likely weak because they're testing the water.
As for Zelda, good to hear it induces such a strong level of emotion. All the talk of the Wiimote and how it would be used seemed to supersede any discussion about how good the actual CONTENT of the game is or isn't.
