Such stupid, stupid people
I'm going to break from the formula today and talk about an issue that's been driving me insane lately. Here goes: Zelda: Twilight Princess will not be a Revolution game for crying out loud! Why? Here we go:
1) Firstly, people have been preordering this thing (the game) since before the Revolution was anything more than a name. That'd be a lot of ticked people when it came down to the wire and suddenly the game is for Rev. A lot of fivers thrown out the window for those who don't want to spend the extra couple hundred.
2) A quote from series creator Shigeru Miyamoto states that this will be the "last Zelda game as you've known it". Obviously he was talking about how the new controller is going to affect future games. The switch over to Rev and a new control scheme would fly in the face of that comment which also leads us to...
3) They have a working demo, for crying in poo! A GameCube one. For use with a standard controller. Which they've been parading around the States, too :-P.
4) Nintendo keeps explicitly denying that the game will be on the Rev or that it'll even have special Rev-unlockable features. Now Nintendo doesn't usually lie. They might say odd, mysterious things or say nothing at all, but when they talk it's usually the truth. Here's the Reggie-Man himself saying so.
5) Finally, it'll work on the Rev because of the GC backwards compatibility. So people could pick up both, or those who didn't want/couldn't get a Rev would still be satisfied. It's not like sales would be hurt in any way (quite the opposite in fact).
So there you have it. Quit being stupid, okay? :-)
