I think what's interesting about the Gamecube is that it was actually the most powerful of the last-gen systems (most people don't know that but it's true), EASILY more powerful than the PS2 and a bit more powerful than the XBOX. However, the Gamecube was the least-selling of the 3 systems. Now, moving on to the Wii, everyone criticized it, "Oh, it's not as powerful as the other 2 systems!" But what do you know? It's the best-selling system EVER. Haha. And the least powerful system last time (PS2) won the console wars that gen; the most powerful system this time (PS3) is in last. Shit like that makes me laugh. All this hype, the critics, the message board trolls, thinking graphics/"power" is what makes a game/system.. yet at the end of the day, it is and always will be about fucking GAMEPLAY. For the love of God.
But yeah, I love those lil' Gamecube discs. Man. I really figured Twilight Princess would be on two discs; I mean, Tales of Symphonia is and they're about the same length (but Tales does have like hours of high quality animation videos). On another note, I don't bootleg games (I just buy 'em used for real cheap), but my friend said Gamecube discs were by far the hardest discs to make burnt copies of. Nintendo = smart. Zelda makes me happy. This is dorky, but I don't give a fuck: My girlfriend is a big cosplay nerd, and she made me go to this convention at a con, and I dressed up as Link! There's a picture at my myspace if you're my friend (http://www.myspace.com/adamcooley) or you can add me as a friend and check it out. Haha. I also have a HUGE HUGE HUGE Link .. it's not a poster, it's like.. this cardboard piece of art.. it's way bigger than a regular paper "poster".. I got it from Blockbuster, I went in there one day and asked what they do with their posters when they're done with 'em, and they siad "throw 'em away" and I asked if I could have that Link one and they said, "Well.. okay, sure!" And just took it down and gave it to me then. Fucking epic. One night, I took some ambien CR and right before I fell asleep, I was staring at it and it looked like Link was coming after me. It was amazing. Zelda <3 |

did they ever come out with that gamecube version of Twilight?
I love Zelda but I don't play games enough to justify buying a wii (I know they're real cheap but I hardly ever play games & I don't want to buy a wii just to play one game..) |

haha no it didn't, rob, are you kidding?
the gamecube version came out about a month after the wii version. it was delayed a bit so people would "have to" buy the wii version (if they didn't want to wait). read the wikipedia if you don't believe me. |

haha, by the time i beat twilight princess i was up around 47 hours, what an enormous and awesome game,. im glad they took the extra time to make it bigger id go with the Wii version, just cause of the ability to use the wiimote to fight and shoot arrows and stuff, makes it a lot more fun...the Wii is such a steal at the price it is, and its only gonna come down this holiday season.

Is 47 hours that long? Xenogears took me 78. Dragon Quest VIII took me 60. And I tend to speed past most games (some people said they took 80-100 hours first time through Dragon Quest VIII first time through and didn't do half the shit I did). Hmph.
Also, I wouldn't go with the Wii version, I'd rather use traditional controls, not to mention you'll have to change your batteries for the Wiimote at least twice while playing the game. |

i dont think ive ever taken 47 hours to beat any other zelda, wind waker, ocarina of time, didnt take me nearly as long. after playin ocarina of time and wind waker on the gamecube, i still say the Wii version of twilight princess is better. the controls are new, and you gott get used to them, but you are actually slaying things with your sword, not just hittin a button to do it. you also have to aim with the wiimote and then fire your boomerang and arrows, which makes you feel like you are doing more. i was skeptical about the Wii just from a comtroller standpoint, but i havent played 1 Wii game where i wish i had a normal PS style controller, they make ti work great with the wiiimote and it makes you feel you are accomplishing more. i too am a zelda geek, and outside sports games it reall the only game i play that takes me a long time to beat. ive never played those other games, but id think after 80-100 hours of gameplay, id be so fed up and over the game, i wouldnt care about beating it. zeldas are just long enough that you dont lose interest. this new one for the nintendo DS looks very cool.again, im skeptical of this one just cause you have to use the stylus for the bulk of the game, but like with all things nintendo does, theyll make it work. ill only buy nintendo systems, i know im missing a lot of great games, but im more a casual player, i buy a 4 or 5 games a year....oh yeah, Transformers for the Wiii = fucking AWESOME...its like GTA meets transformers my zelda playing wont be complete til i beat the bastard of all zelda games....LINK legend of zelda 2, to this day, i still cant beat that one, its the only one! i bought a 20 pack of batteries for my wiimote when i got the wii, day it came out, i still havent gone thru them all...the batteries last longer than ya think, you can also buy a rechargable one, to save over time
