    Aww, nose nuggets.

    Guess it's the GC version for me!

      Yeah, I read about this a few minutes ago on Planet GameCube. It's a shame, but I don't really think it's THAT tragic. I'm not sure which version I'll play, but I'll most likely go for the Wii version in the end, since it'll be played in a new way(with the Wiimote, of course). I mean, if you don't want to play TP with the Wiimote, then you would probably rather play any game with a normal controller, so you better get a 360 instead of Wii.

        Many people have been really been taking this too far, stating that the Wii version of Twilight Princess has un-refined controls, and now that the Wii version will only work with the remote controller/nun-chuck, many people are now turning to the GameCube version. (Long sentence there)

        To me, it really doesn't matter. The Wii controls may not be flawless, but they are functional. Nintendo has been working on this game for well over three years now, and I am certain they would at least make sure the controls work. It's not as though they ported it over to Wii and just left it like that. They're actually taking the time to tailor the controls to the Wii, even if it was originally designed for the GameCube.


        And besides, Twilight Princess is going to be an awesome, epic adventure. Controls don't matter in the end. All that matters is that this becomes the greatest Legend of Zelda title yet. And I know Nintendo will fulfill its promise.

          It can't become the greatest adventure without great controls. Alot of games don't have awesome controls, just functional ones. But the fact is, if a game has AWESOME controls it's almost like you're adding in a lot of gameplay.

          I think that Zelda's better of with traditional controls. But that's me.

            Bah, maybe I'm being hyprocritical, but I definitely prefer traditional controls too. What I'm saying is, the Wii controls won't (as far as I've read), hinder gameplay, but the conventional controls are an added bonus. And I just hate people denouncing the Wii version.

            In the end, all that will matter is the adventure.

            (But on a final note, aiming with the remote controller for the arrows and boomerang? Swinging the nun-chuck for Link's spin attack? Sounds really promising to me).

              I'm going for the Wii version. I've played enough with my GC controllers, so much so that they're falling apart. :) I'm ready to try something new, and having the "point and click" like pinpoint accuracy is a big plus for me.

                Well, if it's not going to be played with the GC controller, can't you just buy the classic controller for the Wii? Another example of Ninty being profit whores.

                  Nintendo has always taken the controls of a game very seriously. I have yet to play a Ninty game that has below awesome controls. They know it's very important that they make the Wiimote work well with TP, and I'm sure they'll get all the flaws right in the end. I, too, at this stage want to play TP on the GC controller, but as I said above, I'm pretty sure I'll get the Wii version, if I even get a Wii.

                    Sibsag, Nintendo has only officially confirmed that the GameCube controller won't be used with the Wii version. Nothing about the Retro Controller has been announced, although I'd doubt it, since that would mean Nintendo would have to go through three control schemes for Zelda.

                      I think they just want the suckers for the better graphics( like me) to get used to the Wii controller this way. :)

                        I was reading this article on N-sider, and I think it raises some interesting points.

                            Hmm... that's makeing me re-think getting the Wii version, but hopefully the next Zelda game, that'll be made for the Wii (not the GC), will be better.

                              Well I guess it's a shame, but I was more interested in the GC version anyway. I'm still unsure if I'll get a Wii, so I'd get the one I can play instead.

                                The controls at E3 for TP weren't bad. They just were not as good as they could have been. I am 100% sure Nintendo will get it working (almost)perfectly before TP and of course Wii are released.

                                  YEAH! They did pretty good during E3, it should be fine!

                                    I'd also like to point out one thing:

                                    When the DS launched, many people pointed out that Super Mario 64 DS didn't play as well as it did on the original N64, and the touch-screen controls were functional, but no where near as good.

                                    Nintendo provided three different control schemes; two involved the touch-screen (either the stylus pen or the little "nub"), and they included the D-Pad as an option.

                                    Why? Because Nintendo probably knew that they had to include more control schemes, simply because none of them were perfect.

                                    --

                                    Now, fast-forward to the Wii. Nintendo is including that as the ONLY way to play the Wii version of Zelda, with no alternate options. This shows that Nintendo is confident and ascertain that it is more than functional, and perfect.

                                    Trust Nintendo. They wouldn't do this unless they were sure.
