Rayman doesn't interest me. Monkey Ball does. As does Twilight Princess, although I still can't see the advantages of Wii TP over GC TP...

For starters, the Wii version has innovative control with items such as the Bow and Spin Attack; I've heard from a few sources that the control is intuitive.

Controller use. Other than that, you might as well get the GCN version of it, but if you're going to get a Wii anyway, there's no reason not to get a Wii TP.

That has already been confirmed.

Which version of Twilight Princess are you guys gonna get? I am thinking the GCN version considering it was meant to be on the GCN first.

I'm gettin the Wii version. With the controls, it'll be a whole new experience in the Zelda series.
Well thanks for all of your informative posts, but I'm completely aware of what the difference are. I'm not convinced that Wii TP is the superior control scheme.

I am getting the Wii version, hopefully, along with Red Steel.
How many other Nintendo launch titles are there?

McFox, you are aware that Gamespot ranked Wii TP controls over the GCN ones?

Newsflash: Apparently, 1,000,000 of us will "get lucky" on launch date:

And as for Twilight Princess and choosing between versions, I'll go for the Wii version as long as I can find a place that isn't ripping me off and trying to steal $70+tax for it. Otherwise, I'll enjoy my monkies in hampster balls.

Wii TP is still not in final form. I'm not buying either version until I read a review of each.

Me, I am not a huge zelda fanboy, I just occasionally play them. I am just mad that they pushed MP3 back. I hope that it will better because of that.

WELL... My mom went to EB to reserve Excite Truck + TP... and we got some interesting information...
Item 1- they still don't know how many Wiis they will get and so you can't preorder yet, although after this meeting in Texas we'll call again and see.
Item 2- the controllers and games are actually being released about a week before the acutal system! Isn't that odd?
Item 3- you can preorder controllers of all types now, although probably you shouldn't do it till you know exactly which store you are getting a Wii from.
And that's it... although that link Khorsan gave predicts as many as a million Wiis in NA at launch, I still want to preorder. Better safe than sorry.

As much as I would prefer the GCN controls, since I have been expecting the last classic 3d Zelda before the new and different Zelda Miyamoto hinted at after this one (and then proceeded to try to kill two birds with one game - bad form), I think the fishing controls might be enough to push me over the edge. Plus I have a sneaking suspicion that it will actually look better on the Wii. I don't know if the Gamecube is capable of the light bloom that you can see in the latest screens and videos. As long as they keep the controls fairly true to the other games, I'll probably get it for Wii.
I guess I'm done talking about TP in the Wii topic now.

It's not that I'm a Zelda fanboy... Hell, I never owned my own copy of OoT (although I rented it and beat it in a week), but I've seriously never played a bad Zelda game. If it's bad in comparison to OoT or A Link to the Past, oh well. It's still a **** good game. I don't think TP can possibly be a dud, nor do I think it very likely that it will truley live up to OoT and Link to the Past.
As for the million units at launch: That's good news for gamers and for Nintendo. And in the end, what's good for Nintendo is good for us (More money = better games, right? Or maybe it means new mansion for Myamato).

Haven't played that one. I've played the original, MM, OoT, Wind Waker, Link to the Past, and bits and pieces of those more recent ones that came out on the gameboy (some of my friends had them). They were all at least decent.

I wouldn't mind seeing a MM sequel, as long as they changed the saving mechanism, or didn't include the whole three-days-to-the-end-of-the-world shtick. But that was an integral part of the mind blowing story, so... I guess I just wanted the story without the headaches of trying to save. I've never thought of myself as a Zelda fanboy, but... I guess I could technically be classified as one. Now, to actually be on topic, I'm sure the demo stations will arrive in stores before the games come out, so if I hate WTP, I'll just cancel that preorder, and switch it back over the GCTP. Why is everyone making such an issue out of it? It's not that hard. I'm sure FDV is right about it looking better on Wii, though. I know I'm normally the first to say in here that graphics are as important to a game's value as rocket science is to a slug, but I've been waiting for a realistic Zelda like this, and the more the better.
And McFox, I really can't believe you'd take monkies in hampster balls over throwing the hammer with cows, shooting maniacal rabbits with plungers, and sneaking through the rabbits' public bathroom Snake-style. But hey, that's just me. =l

Twilight Princess for the wii will be fun. period. end of discussion. worth every penny.

And you must know this because of your exclusive, hands-on access to it, yes? Wow, your dubious testimony and blatant fanboyism has certainly made TP seem infinitely more attractive to me now than ever before.
I must preorder TP forthwith, and nothing shall hinder me. Thank you for convincing me, Marthmaster.

I have already preordered.

I preordered TP and Red Steel... I'm not so sure Red Steel will be good, but it's the only decent looking FPS coming out in the launch window - Far Cry looks pretty good, but Red Steel may get some online multiplayer in the future.
Every system launches like that. I bought two GameCube controllers weeks before I bought my GameCube on launch day. I bought three 360 games and a play 'n charge kit before I got my 360 launch day. It's really pointless because you just sit there with it... but yeah, it's very common.

Pointless? Blasphemy! I really want to rob someone at Wii-point with one, just to see if I could. Anyway, they do it so that there isn't as big a rush and wait-times to ring up all the Wii stuff people will be getting on Launch day.

But it seems so odd. You can't DO anything with it yet.
It also makes it seem like you're spending less money, even though you're not, if you spread your purchases around.
For instance, the 360 HD-DVD player is $200. That seems very cheap to me, considering how much other HD-DVD players cost. However, add that to the cost of the 360, and it's suddenly $600 and $500, the same as the PS3.

You can spend money on it, which is the point.

Yeah, sometimes it better to buy the accessories and all that other crap first so you don't have to spend more money when you get the console.
