i dont know if this is a shame or not. i know the revo exclusive zelda would have sold 10 000's of revolutions,but whatever ur thots u should all just be greatful that nintendo will be releasing this game(on whatever platform).

The Revolution may of course see its own Zelda outing in the future
I would bloody well hope so, i am not going to invest in a Revolution if it does not have any future Zelda games.
I hope Nintendo makes games for the hardcore gamers, I dont want to see just gimmicky puzzle games on Revo.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am in no way looking forward to that prospect

This can hardly be considered "news", nor in any way trustworthy.
The official statement (what spokesmen have to say, and nothing but) might not have changed since the game was revealed at E3 2004.
But that doesn't mean much at all.
Until they openly announce changes, not even Miyamoto will be allowed to say anything different.
It would be a bit surprising if top-secret release-strategies of Nintendo Japan were to be released by a little spokesman answering when a little website called Spong happened to phone.
He probably doesn't know anything different himself.

LOL, so you consider the rumour to be more newsworthy??? Get your head out of where the sun don't shine. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but you have got to be an absolute moron to claim the official denial of a rumour, as opposed to Sony/MS's usual "we don't comment on rumours", is not more worthy of being reported on than the latest piece of web-gossip.

I would say that SPOnG has the best Nintendo contacts online and I can back that up with stories and interviews. But you're a boring troll and I have to play Mario Kart online now so I'm not going to.

I'd be very very VERY pissed off if Zelda was moved to Revolution. I don't mind if it has extra Revo features, as long as one of them isn't wving the controller about as a sword for 100 hours!! no thanks, I think that just sounds stupid.
But really, is it worth taking your one remaining gamecube game, what looks like the best gamecube game too, the most polished. Is it worth taking that and putting it on your new console where it will look less polished and less impressive and risk pissing off all of you exisiting (and loyal) customers.
They damn well better not!
Lesson 1 for nintendo on their next console!
Give the public what they want!!
Lesson 2
REALESE GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sword swinging does sound a bit irritating, but yet it could be a very enjoyable experience. Were you able to switch between conventional control to Revolution type control it would be easier on the arms.
If it is released on Revolution or Gamecube I dont really care, this is going to be a great game, I have long since sold my Gamecube and so will be looking forward to purchasing a Revolution which will allow me to play Gamecube and Revo games. Not forgetting all the N64 and Snes and Nes games that I grew up with.
I think some of the readers should give Spong a break, most of what I have read on this site turns out to be true, and if it's not I dont care. Information from Nintendo is so scarce these days that I would read anything.

I don't get the idiots that even come up with stories that TP is being moved to the Revolution, you know how long it takes to port over a triple A+ title from one generation of console to the next properly? 2 bloody years minimum!
Probably something will be added that appears if you put it in the Revolution... but that's it. This is the last Zelda as we know it (Miyamoto's words) so that means it's for the Gamecube, period.
Anyway... best game this generation...highly likely, nice contender for the title best game ever too...

/me eagerly awaits LordVader717's response to TigerUppercut's retort.

Microsoft said that Rare converted Perfect Dark Zero from Xbox to Xbox 360 in 6 weeks, certainly not two years!
Mon, 5 Dec 2005 10:34
Dude. You get the wrong thread or summat?
Mon, 5 Dec 2005 10:56
No, OptimusP said that it takes a minimum of two years to convert a game from one generation to the next as being the reason Nintendo wouldnt release Z:TP on revolution and I was pointing out that argument was flawed as Rare were able to convert PDZ from XBox to 360 in 6 weeks.

I think that 2 years sounds like too much and six weeks sounds like too little.
There's no way you could port a massive piece of software and bug test it ready for production in six weeks. It would be made even harder by the fact that any assembly may have had to be rewritten from x86 to PowerPC.
However, 2 years is too much. Home console games are written at quite a high level so that they can are flexible. You could almost rewrite the entire code in 2 years.

To be honest, that wouldn't surprise me. After all, the Oracles games unlokced some small extras when you played them on a GB Advance over a GB Color.
But whether that'll happen or not, it would make perfect sense to bundle Zelda: TP with the Revolution when it launches.
