Zelda will never come out for GameCube. And the swing motion is not what you think it is. I actually wish it was less restricted than what you had at E3.
I don't think Nintendo can pull the US release of Zelda GC at this point without losing a ton of face. . .then again, they've already shown that they're willing to disappoint their fans tonight.
Their fans don't care. Case in point:

The Nintendo love pisses me off. No one thinks for themselves it seems
Um I haven't seen one of the big three companies do anything to not screw over the consumer. Seems like there's a lot of 360 support now, but comeon .. its still $400 fucking dollars, and its library is still pretty damn anemic. Oh and if you say, 'well theres the core', yeah getting a $300 system with no memory card you can only get for $40 at about 1/20th the size of the packed in $100 HD with the $400 one is a joke. Don't forget, games are still 60 fucking dollars, throw in microtransactions, special editions, Live, and whatever else they decide to tack on, they are fucking anyone and everyone they can in true MSoft style.
Nintendo is selling a system for $250 with a pack in game and flash memory, but the system's capabilities are barely higher than a $100 Gamecube. Hell the Xbox is pretty much the same at this point as a Wii. The games at launch look generally unimpressive and the controls look less like an innovation (although some games do attempt to use it well) and more like a control OPTION. As in, instead of pressing A, move the controller right. That's not an innovation, thats just another stupid control mode. The system's hardware is very very poor compared to competition. I would understand if its lesser, but they just overclocked the GC plain and simple.
Sony? Is there really a need to start on them? The PSP is bombing, UMD's are too expensive, Sony won't drop the PSP price. Sony is selling a $600 console to put over its new format of media, and if you get the $500 version of the system, it can't even play its format in full glory! The games, also $60 like 360, look no better than 360 games right now - and Sony screwed people again with a bunch of CGI videos to put over the Cell. Meanwhile they rip off Nintendo's controller,well halfway because they couldn't even do THAT all the way and they put in a gimped motion censor without the abilities of the Wii's controls. Oh yeah, and this at the expense of rumble. Oh and don't forget, they still refuse to drop a 6 year old system, the PS2 to $100 when both of its competitors are dead in the water. Paying $130 for 6 year old technology, by far the weakest console now on the market is about as equal as paying $250 for the Wii. And the PS2's tech makes the Wii look like Deep Blue.
Anything else? Anywhere you go you get FUCKED, plain and simple. Don't play one company over the other like the company you choose is Mr. Generous and all for the consumer, because they aren't. Maybe not conspired but all three together have basically pulled an oligopoly over the industry effective pulling an OPEC. Nintendo didn't have to goto $200 because everyone else was high. MSoft sweated out the PS3 price ready to counter with a drop if Sony was low, which they weren't. Now everyone is gonna be a fat cat and not start a price war because they each want their profits.
