"If people are this concerned about enjoying the Wii version with the fancy controls, maybe they should start being concerned over whether they will like the Wii at all, seeing as, in many ways, those things are one and the same."

I disagree, Im not concerned about the other games, hell even madden sounds interesting, which is a huge achievement. Its analog to what happen with Mario 64 DS, I never was interested in the game at all for a similar reason, but that doesnt mean the other games for the DS sucked when I finally played them.

dear everyone

TP is a trainwreck, accept it and move on

love

me

seriously the best editorials are always the negative ones, Nintendo fans ironically need some damn perspective. I say ironically because after the company has had its big ups and downs, I seriously was expecting a more conservative and non-fanboyish aproach to the recent positive change of buzz, not the "LOL SONY" that Ive seen.

this is not a lose/lose situation, if Nintendo had decided not to do this wii version I asure you that at worst, some fanboy would speculate how TP with remote might work and thats it, NO ONE would be mad or whiny, at all, maybe slightly dissapointment in rare cases.

Personally I dont give a crap about the wii version so I don't care about the lack of GC controls for it, I have to be thankful that at least they didn't scrap completly the GC original. And yes, even if that version had GC controls I would still buy the other one, and yes, Im very interested in the new console, believe it or not, I have high hopes for Corruption, and Galaxy looks to be awesome, as well as many third party games, something that was really surprising. But this decision about Zelda is the worst possible idea ever in my eyes.

As to why they remove GC controls from the wii version is obvious the possibility of many people buying both was important, its naive to think is not, and as silly as many of you believe it is to buy both, theres plenty of fans that will do it. Some may think that both versions ended up being radically different and can't be played with the other controls, but Nintendo also said that both were identical, so its not a sure thing. Its still a posibility, is not the first time Nintendo outright lied about this game anyway.

Im not really too fond of the idea of the west making an influence in the Zelda games. The localization guys are cool and all, but it comes down to business, and I really don't like the idea of making the game more "friendly" to the average american crowd thats more inclined to like tomb raider or halo. For start they went on with the ridiculous idea of using the remote for swinging the sword after explaining themselves why they had decided not to do it, its obvious they changed it because the fans asked for it, and honestly I trust more the initial judgement of Aunoma and company than the judgement of the fans. Actually the first signs of a sell-out was the removal of Tingle from the game for the same reason, to appeal to the western crowd. Lets hope they keep these things to a minimum.

I think its obvious they are going to release the launch date and price, as they themselves said that in september they are going to release the info. As Ive said before though, I dont understand why people get so worked up about a launch date or price, unless the launch date is tomorrow who cares for the specific date? Ill rather get more new titles announced than the date of release, or more video footage.

I have the hope that Corruption will turn out decently, so I can't jump yet. If Metroid Dread turns out to be vaporware as it actually looks like, Ill join out of spite.

I love it.  Let us hope the controls are one to one.  Now the Wii version can truly be called a launch title.

well, duh, he isn't going to say "the GC controls are superior and the only reason we are doing this is to help the launch of our console because we have enough fanboys that would even buy a turd if it has Zelda somewhere written over it", even if thats the truth

This was basically the only thing I liked about TP wii version and now they changed it, I don't have any doubts about which one is going to be the best version now.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Nintendo to Wiiify Gamecube games?

« on: August 21, 2006, 02:36:28 PM »

This is plain ridiculous, just when I was past the whole TP thing Miyamoto comes up with this. Im dissapointed, why Nintendo wants to make the remote look like a true gimm!ck? because thats all they are doing with these ideas. And it also sounds lazy from them, instead of creating new games they will rehash games now? where the hell was the mantra "quality vs quality" left? I shouldve see this coming, but I had hope Nintendo wasn't going to be like any other money-hungry tacky company, what now? will they make breakable consoles a la sony to increase profits?. At this point I wouldn't be surprised.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: What is Nintendo doing right or wrong with Wii?

« on: August 17, 2006, 03:14:50 PM »

I dont think any of those bad points matter, except the advertisement, thats the big weakness of Nintendo right now, and their track record isnt good.

Another big bad point is having as one of the major launch titles a last generation game with two controls schemes, they must have an awful lot of confidence in the remote because that title is going to make easy to directly compare both methods, and for the remote its going to be an unfair comparison because the basic layout of the game is not made with the controller in mind, like past 3d zeldas were, and it really makes the controller look like a bad gimm!ck, a device which only replaces buttons for gestures and doesn't add anything. The console should made people think "I couldnt have any of these games in any past console", but by doing a wii version of a GC game it completly destroys that notion.

General Gaming / RE: Grudge Match from Hell: Wii Remote Vs Fighting Games

« on: August 17, 2006, 08:41:31 AM »

the remote offers the possibility to push forward an archaic genre, its disappointing Nintendo isn't going to do it with Brawl, specially since the first smash bros was so fresh and new for a fighting game. The game will be awesome for sure, at the very least is going to have an amazing soundtrack, but I wish someone would make a fighting game using the remote.

Im not judging it, Im only doubtful, hands-on impressions weren't that good to begin with, certainly they were far from Ocarina's level of enthusiasm, which is what Nintendo keeps saying, how much they want to surpass that game... well, so far it doesn't look like that.

TalkBack / RE: Harrison Speaks at Camp Hyrule

« on: August 16, 2006, 09:21:33 PM »

The already lame wii version just got lamer, but I dont care as long as I get my GC original. Although to be honest at this point Im very doubtful of the quality of the game. First it seemed just like some tacked-in remote functions, the main game apparently wasn't altered, but that was because most of us were deluded thinking the game was near completion, the truth is the game has never been close to that, and this split in focus can only mean both versions will be not as good as expected. Ocarina took nearly the same development time and it was just one control scheme they had to keep in mind, and anyone who has played Ocarina knows the game gravitates around the N64 controller, from simple gameplay mechanics to even dungeon level design. I have no clue how they expect to surpass what Ocarina did with this two versions which unfortunately all they do is to limit or hurt the other one.

Just making more dungeons and increasing playing time doesn't make it a better game, I used to think Nintendo was smart enough to know that.

heh, funny, I used to believe the same but about my own language, spanish, compared to english. In english there are names and last names like Shoemaker, House, Daisy, our very own content editor Blood-worth, etc, etc, and I thought that you people just had crazy ideas for naming children, then I realized we are the same, "Rosa", "Casas", "Esperanza", "Zapatero" etc, all "real" words, but also all names used quite frequently actually. It appears the only names who are not "real" words are very old names (daniel, simon, John, etc) or foreign ones (I cant come up with any examples right now ), but if you trace them to their origin, they are very likely to be a "real" word in that ancient/foreign language.

how much different was the ps2 compared to the GC in the online part? As far as I know ps2 never had an specific online service, it was pretty much the same, buy an adaptor and connect to the internets with the games that allow it and that was it, or did I miss something?
