Ouch. Good thing I'm getting the GCN version.
...
Or you could just buy the Gamecube version and play it on your Wii with a Gamecube controller. What the ****?
I'm guessing the Wii version will have a few prettier things like pixel-shaded water, etc. And that's why I want it.
I thought this was how it was supposed to be anyways. So no big loss for me. I'll just probably end up buying both versions. Which is what they want I'm sure.
Um, darn.
Not really. I never even suspected that it would be Cube compatible. Y'know, whatever earns you more money. :cookie:
I'll probably be getting both. =/ I need a fantastic Zelda game for my Cube, and I need it for Wii just because I do.
I intended to use the Wiimote for it all, anyway. Same as Vampiro, I assumed that this is how it was going to be anyway. So whatever.
harsh but perdictable. I will buy they wii verson and try it. If it sucks Ill return and get the GC verson.
Would of been nice (and stupidly easy) to have both controll for wii. But hey, Money Talks.
Zelda? wha? oh that game that got delayed 20 times, i keep forgetting about it lol
Eh, don't care. I'm sure the Wii-mote will work out just fine. What with all the work they put into it. It'll be faptastic!
I dunno, this doesn't seem like that big a deal.
We haven't actually played the Wii yet, we can't say what playing the whole game with the Wiimote will be like. For all we know, you can play it somehow exceptionally well with the sideways NES-esque style, or it's nowhere near as painful as it sounds. Plus, you have to admit, if they didn't pull something like this, no one in the world would buy the GC version.
And again, controlling it with the Wiimote might be extremely fun, and still worth it. I'm not fretting yet.
Why are so many people bitching about this? THERE'S 2 VERSIONS, YEAH?
The Wii version doesn't have better graphics, it just has widescreen and progressive scan. For the vast majority of you, that means NOTHING.
Except for those of us with 16:9 progscan compatible TVs. :) Wait, so the GCN version won't have progressive scan? There were plenty of gamecube titles which supported it (Metroid Prime to name one).
LOL BAD NEWS GRAH.
Wasn't it obvious by them making 2 ****ing versions?
I seem to be the only one intent on enjoying the Wiimote.
And I doubt they'd do that due to possible mob attacks on Nintendo.
SSBB is definitely NOT going to be Wiimote-exclusive. It's only been hinted at that it won't be, but like hell they'd **** up on this one.

You live in the UK, so it obviously won't affect you. You can't get 480p TVs in the UK.
Come to think of it, I think it does have progressive scan on the GC version. So people are bitching about not having widescreen on the GC version.
GC controls or widescreen, WHAT A TOUGH DECISION, EH?
[quote=Aioros][COLOR=yellow]My thoughts exactly. Even some of the most die-hard Nintendo fanatics find it hard to swallow this decision and keep a happy face on it. It doesn't mean much to me, i decided long ago to get the Gamecube version since i still don't know how well the remote will work with most games.
It's highly unlikely, but if they announce that Brawl will also be exclusively played with the Wiimote. . . i don't even want to think about it.[/COLOR]
You decided to get the GCN version based on something you don't know? Surely it'd make more sense to wait and find out before deciding?
Smash uses GC controllers, it's already been confirmed.
I've already said it, I'm buying both.
The opportunity of playing it on the Wii is simply too good to pass up. I'll love to see what the Wiimote offers. Whether I love it or hate it, I'm still doing it.
It's fscking Nintendo, anyway. They don't often screw up.
[quote=Aioros][COLOR=yellow]On the contrary. I decided to get the Gamecube version based on what i do know, they typical Zelda gameplay. If i try the Wii version and it's a completely unique and enjoyable experience then i'll buy that too, if it's not then i won't.[/COLOR]
What if the Wii version is pretty much like the GC version except a lot more convenient? Because that's pretty much what's been said of it so far.
[quote=Last Fog]What do you mean "convenient"? Its the same game with a different controller. It's just a matter of preference.
Because it's easier to select items, aim bows and perform spin attacks. If it were exactly the same just with a different controller then what would be the point?
I could buy the wii version but not have a wii, or buy the gcn and just use the gcn. I think Ill be a potato whore and buy the wii version.
Come on, it should be like learning how to ride a bike, roller/ice skating. I'm one of those few people who handle the HUEG X-Box orginal controllers when I play it. I've actually used a remote to play games before...
I'm going to the Wii version cause I want to adapt to the controller fast. Gaining dexterity with it using a Zelda game is really good.
All I'm saying is that is should feel comfortable from the start. Not that you'll have it mastered right away, but just the feeling that its suitible, unlock the obnoxious Xbox controller.
It's going to feel awkward no matter what I think, it's just something you'll have to get used to and probably grow to love. A good controller doesn't have to be great from the start, and unlike the original Xbox controller, people will probably give it less flack because of what it's capable of.
[quote=Aioros][COLOR=yellow]Because selecting items, aiming bows and performing spin attacks were completely difficult and frustrating before :rolleyes:. I still haven't touched a Wii remote, and i don't know if i'll like better playing Zelda with it. However i do know that i'll like playing Zelda the typical way.[/COLOR]
A lot of people had trouble with instant spin attacks, and aiming bows with an analogue stick always sucked ass, haven't you ever played a Zelda game? You spend half your time in Zelda switching items, so anything that makes it easier is a welcome addition.
Regardless, this is a strawman arguement. I simply said that it plays better on the Wiimote, not that it plays badly on the GC. And if it plays better, why settle?
I never got spin attacks down 100%, actually. :( Hopefully the Wiimote'll make them a bit easier.
If you wanted to play it with a GCN controller, why would you ever buy the Wii version? You can play it on the Wii and it's cheaper. I don't see the big deal.
I don't care, i'll end up buying the Wii version.
