Zelda: TP will be "special" on the Revolution
Despite the incessant back and forth, the unending rumor and rejection, it looks like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will feature "special" Revolution functionality! In an interview with EGM in the upcoming March issue, Reggie all but confirmed it saying, "The trick will be what makes it special to play on the Revolution, and to the extent that we could create something like that, boy, wouldn't that be fantastic?" It sure will Reggie. I mean would... it sure would.We all anticipated this functionality when the info got leaked the first couple times. So now that the speculation regarding future Revolution controller compatibility is gone, it's time to speculate on what kind of functionality the game will have. I'll begin: Wind Waker-style music composing? The fishing minigame will rule! Swordplay FTW? Grappling hook? On second thought, not sure that one's gonna work.Follow the whole tumultuous affair:Zelda: Twilight Princess delay is officialTwilight Princess back on schedule Twilight Princess gone 'til NovemberNintendo shoots down Revo details: "still speculation"Magazine reveals Revolution details: Zelda, Super Smash Bros., Donkey KongaNintendo dismisses Zelda use of Rev controllerZelda: Twilight Princess can play on Revolution controllerReggie: Twilight Princess still GameCube-bound[Thanks, dsub]
Twilight Princess: Revo controller support or not?
In what is quickly becoming a saga of operatic proportions, the issue regarding whether or not The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will use the Revolution's controller has now managed to go through several phases: It's been rumored, discussed, explored, rejected, embraced, confirmed, resolved, denied, counter-denied, buried under a mango tree somewhere in the Dominican Republic and finally, posted on a myriad of Nintendo-themed blogs. Just like this one.For those who have been unable to keep track of the whole thing either due to a lack of attention span or basic literacy (and we can certainly identify with that one), here's a short summary: NGC Magazine: Holy yes! You can use the Revolution's controller with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess!Nintendo: What? Uh, that's totally not true. You guys are a bunch of liars.NGC Magazine: It's true! Stop denying it! Jerks.Well, that's a rather crude compression of events, but it should be enough motivation to get you thinking about what would prompt a magazine to risk its reputation and go up against the word of the actual creators of the game. Have they lost their minds? Is Nintendo trying to keep a brilliant idea under wraps? A more detailed version of the story and my own vaguely coherent thoughts on this situation follows.
