Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess official thread!

[The Fake Shemp]

Seriously, what beyond Twilight Princess (and that is a fucking reach if there ever was one!), can possibly justify owning a Nintendo Wii on day one out of anything other than blind loyalty to Nintendo?

[brawndolicious]

At launch, nothing.  Any other questions?

[Himu]

TP is all we need. GOD. What is hard to grasp 

[Human Snorenado]

TP is all we need. GOD. What is hard to grasp 

The reason to drop $250 on a Wii when it's coming out on Gamecube on the same day?  What's hard to understand about THAT?

It's not coming out the same day for Gamecube.  :'(

How long is the delay?  Surely only like a week or something, right?

[The Fake Shemp]

A MONTH.

[Himu]

ya I'm getting a Wii anyways, so might as well get it launch. I want TP asap because it's most anticipated game EVER for me, so I can't wait a month.

I see no problem considering I have games to look forward on Wii in the future. It's not worse than the people who shelled out 300-400 dollars for  a 360 when no good games came out at launch.

Same delimna...except I get fucking ZELDA on the same day.

[CajoleJuice]

A MONTH.

Nintendo knows how to make money off of people like Himuro. I'm surprised how little I care about waiting a month anymore. Every stupid argument I see about the game just adds to my disdain for the whole situation.

KILL THE GC VERSION 

[Human Snorenado]

You're just trying to justify your Wii purchase, Himuro.  What other games are you buying it for?  Come on now.  We're here for you.

This is my position as well. Although I've been getting extremely excited about the game with the recent influx of media, I'm still annoyed by Nintendo's handling of this situation. Delaying the Gamecube version is a slap in the face, period. I'm not going to turn around after that and waste $300 on a system that has no selling points this year. Zelda? On the Gamecube.

Maybe the fact that I'm pretty much avoiding all media on the game is helping to curb any enthusiasm I might have.

See, what's gonna happen is, you'll play Zelda and beat it before the GC version comes out.  You'll think you've been smart, and nod at the wisdom of your purchase.  Then the months will pass, and you'll gradually grow to resent the Wii, and realize the gimmick sucks, and that you haven't bought any other good games for it because no more have come out.  It's kind of like meeting this really hot chick with a hyenaesque obnoxious laugh.  It you'd just view the situation objectively, you'd realize it wouldn't work out.  But you have to experience it yourself and learn the hard way.  Just don't blame me when the inevitable "I wish some good games for the Wii would come out" threads start popping up.  I *WILL* be there to remind you of the folly of your decision.

[Himu]

Either that or replay Zelda TP after beating it.

[CajoleJuice]

Super Mario 64 was the last game I replayed completely, I believe. 

[The Fake Shemp]

Himuro will replay Zelda after beating it, only because THERE ARE NO OTHER GAMES FOR THE SYSTEM

[Human Snorenado]

Either that or replay Zelda TP after beating it.

Just remember, Wii = Fran Drescher.  You will sleep with it because it is attractive, but in the end you will hate the experience because it will erode your soul with it's hyena laughter.  Or waggleness.  Or lack of games.

MP3 currently slated for a release in summer of 2007.  And hot lock on action?  Why will it be any better this gen?

I LIKED IT! ;(

[Phoenix Dark]

MP3 is one of the most disappointing games I've seen in recent years. It looks good I suppose, but not nearly good enough. I pray Retro fixes the controls; they've got plenty of time

You're the guy who wants motherfucking Red Steel more than Prime 3.

Story - 10: Oh man, this story kicks ass. Nintendo, thank you for growing up and giving us a story that is worthy of the game play that Zelda has boasted for over two decades. If Ocarina of Time was a revolution in Zelda game play, Twilight Princess is a revolution in Zelda storylines. Before this game is done, fan boys will be pissing their pants and message boards will be aflame with rabid fans going nuts over the plethora of twists and turns the game throws at you. Prepare to have your world of Zelda rocked.

Haven't been paying attention lately.

Yes, I originally said Red Steel controls better than MP3. At the time, it did. I'm sure Retro is fixing things as we speak, and I look forward to seeing it. But when I first saw that game at E3 I was very disappointed. In fact, I was disappointed by just about everything Nintendo showed at E3

[The Fake Shemp]

No, it didn't.  I played Red Steel and Metroid Prime 3 at E3, and Metroid Prime was the clear winner.  It was also a fun experience, but Retro does need to tweak the controls to make it a far more fluid experience.

Red Steel was a fucking trainwreck.

Did MP3 still have HOT LOCK ON ACTION?  Cause if so, no sale.

Not that I'd be buying a Wii for like four years anyway.  I estimate that's when there will be enough games to justify a purchase.

After bashing Phantom Hourglass you lost all E3 credibility with me

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT ZELDA TP THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT IN INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT.

It sucked at E3, so much so that Nintendo reps came to tell us that it was a super early build.

Zelda fans need to stop being such babies about spoilers.

Nintendo Power gave it a 9.5. Which is pretty good considering they gave OoT the same score, but NOT good because they gave WW a higher score. Wtf?

10 out of 10

Despite being the longest Zelda game to date -- there's roughly as much content here as in Ocarina and Wind Waker combined -- it never feels padded.

That Gamespot review thread is ridiculous. I've only read a couple of pages. 8.8






 

[Himu]

I knew it.

This game is going to be awesome.

But Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is going to piss all over it.

Wow, looks like GS pulled a Ninja Gaiden.

Prediction:  GameCube version gets a 9.3.

[Phoenix Dark]

 

Fuckin Gamespot. Even as a Wii non believer, there's no way I'd give it an 8.8. But this seems to confirm that they'll give the Gamecube one a higher score

[Cheebs]

That would nice, but he docked points for sound. And cince it's the same for both versions, I expect a 9.0 max.

God, what a shitty ass review.

[Error2k4]

the reason why he gave sound a 7 was because of the low quality speaker in the wiimote and because the MIDI quality soundtrack while nice is too dated.

[Oblivion]

I understand that, but he gave a 9 to WW in that category. So it doesn't make sense.

he wanted to score the game low so he had to docked a few points from a category and he chose Sound.

Oh wait, TP is too.

But you can turn the sound up on the remote in TP

Serioulsy.  How do you launch a console with the flagship title being a Gamecube port with new controls?  How?  The funny thing is people expect this to get a 10...um if this piece of shit on the Wii got a 10, you're setting a pretty low standard in terms of what the Wii can produce in graphics to get a 10.

BU BU UBUBU THE GAMEPLAY IS FUN

[Himu]

BUBUBUBU I DON'T PLAY GAMES I ONLY LOOK AT GRAPHICS AND PLAY SHITTY SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

Jesus Christ these graphics fucks make me want to eat my brain or something. BUBUBUBUT you're playing a game that doesn't have better graphics! Jesus Christ please fucking kill  yourself.
