Twilight Princess Cube dated News

GameCube News by Tom Bramwell

14 September, 2006

With The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess set to launch alongside Nintendo Wii in the US on November 19th and Japan on December 2nd, you might wonder what's happening to the Cube version.

Well, stop doing that, because Nintendo said in a Q&A session after its New York press conference this afternoon that the GameCube version will be released on December 11th in the USA.

There's no word on what that means for us over here, but we'd imagine that'll be cleared up during tomorrow's press event in London. Stay tuned, etc.

For more on the Wii launch details, go hither.

I'm probably going to get the Cube version first. Surely different dates mean that it'll be slightly different? I'd love to see a lil more in the Cube version as a final bow down to the Cube. I'll be getting the Wii version as well, but I don't think it'll be as good.

It's forty euro here for a PS2 pad... I think 50 (dollars) per controller sounds about right to me.

Edit: Nice to see it's only forty

$40 for a wii-mote and another $20 for a nunchuk. Depends on what you think is a complete controller as to what is the full price. $60 if you ask me.

Good point DrDamn.

Looks like I'll have a total of four wiimotes in the house, but only two nunchucks.

And $60 is about £32 at present. It's comparable to other official peripherals and accessories.

It seems somewhat pointless releasing a GameCube version of Twilight Princess in December really as the machine has been pretty much dead in terms of new exclusive releases for months now. I'd imagine most of the die-hard Nintendo fanbase will be buying the Wii at launch, which of course can play GameCube games anyway.

Kudos to Nintendo for not abandoning GameCube owners but really Twilight Princess should have been released months ago on the format when it would have sold more. I'm pretty sure it's been finished a while and has only been held back so it could be a Wii launch game. But then if you have Twilight Princess on the GameCube, you're less likely to what to buy a Wii I suppose...

Yeah but it will never be £32 here will it? You've got to add VAT for a start, that takes it up to $70 at least before you start using the magic conversion numbers they use when translating $ => £.

For those not watching the forums too ... Argos say March :-O

"Fils-Aime then returned to explain that two different versions of Zelda: Twilight Princess will launch simultaneously - on launch"
http://www.gamasutra.com/e32006/news.php...

Can somebody explain how November 19 and December 11 are simultaneous?
Is the Wii in fact some form of time machine that will connect Nov 19 and Dec 11? Or did Reggie pull a Kutaragi and blatantly LIE?

I think by worlidwide launch, bigwigs mean in a months difference between the first of the big 4 launchings, and the last of the big 4 launchings (Big 4=America, Japan, Europe, Australia)

@PS3lol:

"Surely different dates mean that it'll be slightly different? I'd love to see a lil more in the Cube version as a final bow down to the Cube."

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. You think they'll ADD stuff to the version on the inferior format? That's delusional. Especially when it's already been confirmed that the Wii version has extra content. Holding the GC version back is great business sense, it'll encourage people to just pick up a Wii and get Zelda right away rather than waiting and playing it on a console that is practically dead in terms of retail.

I don't mind waiting till December 11th. It will be a nice birthday present to get myself a final game for the GameCube and I won't be buying a Wii any time soon. And I shopuld have FF12 finished by the, so it works out great. Cheers, Nintendo. ;)

someone said they wish the cube version had come out months ago? damn ninty would have been called like shit for releasing an updated version for their new console then! i think they've played things okay, maybe the cube version should have been released same day but lets face it they've got a busy month.
