BTW, sorry if PGC's already reported this- I couldn't load the main page so I don't know if they have or haven't yet (if they haven't, it should be up soon).

Very nice, ill be getting this for Zelda 1 and Zelda 2, never played them.

Now just find out if we can get this thing without having to buy some bundle crap.
EDIT: One question I have is Majora's Mask will have higher resolution a la the Ocarina Bonus Disk right? After playing the Bonus Disk and then playing the N64 version I realized just how bad the resolution was. No wonder I suffered from almost constant migraines the entire period I played my N64.

I'm looking foward to this disc *SHOCK*, and I have no doubts Nintendo will release it by itself. Either that, or we can count on trusty EB selling it seperatly for insane amount of money ++!

Everyone else, don't start griping! We all know that Target and Best Buy will be selling these babies separately for ten bucks or so.
Post by: Bill Aurion on October 07, 2003, 04:25:22 AM
And the demo disc was sold alone in some stores, so it wasn't that hard to find one...
Post by: Ian Sane on October 07, 2003, 06:59:29 AM
a. Release the disc seperately so that all Cube owners can enjoy it, keeping in mind that because of Wind Waker most Zelda fans already own Cubes.
or
b. Release it only with new consoles and piss off their entire fanbase.
Post by: Jdub03 on October 07, 2003, 08:31:25 AM
As seen by nintendo's past business strategies, they dont mind pissing us off, because thats all we can do is be pissed off.
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 07, 2003, 10:02:08 AM
Yes, the bonus disk was selling seperately, but at $40. I won't spend that much on a few demos.
Post by: Cap on October 07, 2003, 10:03:20 AM
hopefully retailers will sell the disc seperately like they did with the zelda disc and the previous demo disc.

No we can NOT buy their next console. Pissing off your fanbase is suicide. That's what happened to Sega.
"Why doesn't someone email Nintedo and ask if they will sell this seperatly or if it is indeed true?"
There's not really any point in writing an email now because Nintendo hasn't really officially announced this themselves so anyone you email will just give you a bullsh!t "we don't comment on rumours" letter. We have to wait until they release an actual press release. I will however right an email the very same day if they announce it for new consoles only. Though I also wrote a letter about the demo disc and was completely ignored.

By the way I really don't understand why people keep saying they want the CD-i Zeldas on this thing. They were not made by Nintendo and from all reports were absolutely horrible. I'm sure Nintendo would like those games to be forgotten much like George Lucas wants the Star Wars Holiday Special to be forgotten.

I want those games just to see how crappy they really are and laugh at them. Who wouldnt?

[off-topic alert]Speaking of collections, anybody know if that Midway classic gaming collection disc is still erm, being made? PGC had some news on it MONTHS back, and there hasn't been another word since.[/off-topic alert]
Infernal: There is a game called Midway Arcade Treasures that comes out for all three systems. Xbox and PS2 version come out and November 17, while the GCN version isn't slated to come out until 12/1. Doesn't make any sense, unless Midway is looking for an excuse to say the GCN version of their games, even really old games, doesn't sell. The game is listed for a three systems with a price of 19.99. This of course if from EBgames.com and is for North America.

I'm really worried about this. Nintendo has just been insanely clueness lately and they might not even think that existing Cube owners are even interested in this disc. They certainly didn't think we would care about the original demo disc. They never released that seperately despite numerous complaints and hard evidence (ie: sales at Best Buy) that existing owners wanted to buy it.

If you've got a better track record, prove it. The burden of proof, as they say, is in your hands.

Wow! What an ass hole. First of all Bloodworth was not directly associating PGC with Game Informer. The guy that got the scoop at Game Informer is Billy Berghammer who was the head at PGC until he moved on to work at Game Informer. In other words Bloodworth was actually associating PGC with Billy Berghammer. Also PGC does have a great track record. In fact I don't recall a rumor that they've posted that ended up being wrong and I've been coming here for around 3 years now.

I don't know what the hell that has to do with anything but if that age is up to date then he would have been born around 1980. Seeing as how the NES was released in the US in 1985 I should hope he would be out of diapers by then considering he would be 5. Unless of course you are basing that whole diaper bit on your own experience with potty training.

..anyway, the "diapers" comment was irony. look into it. i know he was 5 or 6. it's not an insult, its a joke. there's this thing called "busting someones balls" (ever see Goodfellas?)
the way i read it, he was associating himself with G.I., not a good thing to do. it's a rag. but maybe it's just the way i read it. still, his words were boastfull, and as they say, put your money where your mouth is...
after searching PGC's "rumors" section. i can say that the only "rumor" they were right about was the "backlit" GBA. of course a ten year old could have seen that one coming...
....one last thing, yes, I am an @**hole. thank you for noticing....

I never paid attention in school.
...I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who has witnessed first hand, the horror that is the Phillips CDI Zelda games. God, save us all. Nintendo should be punished for "whoring" is the classic Zelda series...

Also, Bloodworth, I hope you didn't think I was discrediting PGC by saying the disc was rumored. I simply meant that there was no confirmation from Nintendo up until now and I happened to see it on IGN first.

40$? It was going for 19.99 right off the bat at Best Buy.
