He also didn't mention the Wii console, the controller and nunchuck, the composite/component cables and the ac adapter.

My point? They're all givens. So's Zelda.

We're down to the last week before the launch...as Thomas Paine said in "Common Sense", "These are the times that try mens' souls."

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Next Sunday shall kicketh much asseth.

 

[Zenien]

Indeed-ith.

Wii come to me!!!!!

I didn't like get a pre-order or anything... I'll probably pick up Zelda with it (I pre-ordered the Wii version) but I might not play it until I can get the Gamecube version and try that out, then try out the Wii version and see which game I'm going to play.

 

[Benstamania]

Your strange Z, just get the freakin Wii version and PLAY the freakin Wii version. Many "hands on" reviews say it plays fantastic.

Wanting to play any other version is just crazy, get the idea out of your head.

 

[Kipobe]

Actually, I'm glad she'll be able to review it for me. I was actually thinking of waiting until Dec. 15th when the component cables will be released to actually play it, but I doubt I will. I have no such patience.

PS - I can't seem to post a thread in this forum, but anyway, Toys 'R' Us seems to be taking pre-orders for the Wii AGAIN tomorrow morning. A second wave of the festivities. If you've missed if before, I guess this'll be your last chance. I doubt you'll be able to just pick one up on launch.

PPS - the new Zelda retrospective is up over at gametrailers.com.... next week's episode will wrap up the whole thing, linking all Links together.

How much are the component cables for the Wii and can you use them only on HD TVs or no?

Cause I have yet to shell over the money to go HD.

When I went to preorder, there were HD component cables available. I remember them being $60. I could be wrong though.

This makes no sense. Pretty much everyone is saying thw Wii version is more superior than the Gamecube version. But do whatever you want.

Flicking the remote to swing the sword seems lame, plus things like the sheild bash etc. It wasn't until recently that some sites have said the Wii version has better controls, before that it was 100 percent the standard version, and maping the sword button to the controller flick instead of the A button or whatever doesn't sound like a ground breaking change. Since I wasn't convinced by the controls before, I'm not sure what tweaks they really could have made to make the journalists dramatically impressed in the 11th hour (moneyhats?).

Mostly as gastly as it sounds to some Wind Waker controlled just fine -with a wavebird- and I'd be perfectly happy to play the Twilight Princess - with a wavebird-. Nothing I've seen of the Wii controls are captiaving in any way when it comes to this game, so it will be the execution and actually trying the controls out for myself that will make me be able to call which version I'm going to play with.

Needless waggle is beyond lame, basically. They just better keep it out of Smash Brothers.

Spoken like the true Sony fan girl herself.

Zelda with the Wiimote is indeed awesome Zen You just lack faith.

BTW... SSB wont use the Wiimote at all its uses the GC or the Classic controller.

Component cables will be $30 for the Nintendo brand. They have some madcatz ones out there for $60, but that's stupid.

And no, you won't need an HDTV, just a TV that supports component cables (Red, blue, green).

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I'm moving some stuff in my room around tommorrow, I'll check the TV tommorrow, I might get me some component cables of the Nintendo Brand if my TV supports them.

Finding them will be the treat.

Last gen, I had component cables for my GC. I bought them online (that's the only place they were) for $30, and at the end of the gen they were nowhere to be found. I sold them on eBay for $110. JUST the cables. Most GameCubes made after a certain date don't even have an input for the cables to be attached.

I want them, but I doubt they'll be available before the middle of December it looks like.

Also, I :heart: Zenien 4ever. :heart: :hussy:

 

[Zenien]

I'm not honestly that down on using the Wii controller guys, I'm actually pretty excited about it, but I was pissed off about something else and felt the need to vent using a totally unrelated subject. O_O

(I'm still going to try both though!)

 

[jaydawg]

If Miyamoto says its the best, then it is.
