Want Zelda For the Gamecube? Not so fast...

[Patryn]

Sorry kiddies....if you want Zelda, you have to buy the Wii version. All the retailers have now removed the Gamecube Zelda from their databases.

Sucks if you forgot to pre-order a Wii.

Re: Want Zelda For the Gamecube? Not so fast...

They took it off the websites because the pre orders where overfilled (most likely). Not because they are not selling them anymore. Besides until Nintendo says somthing You can't rely on retailers.

Heck, GS said that Nightfall would require a Radeon 9600 to run for minimum requirements.

Oh, and Best Buy - bam

Target - bam

Walmart - bam

Kinda odd they wouldn't update their websites for such a popular product if it was cancelled right? /shrug

Oh, since we are taking stuff from joystiq

2) Some Gamestop and EB Games employees say the reason the game is no longer in their computer system or online is that pre-orders have been maxed out. Apparenly once the company stops taking pre-orders, they remove the game from their computer system entirely.

Sorry, I just get a little mad when people take rumors from places seriously.

I was gonna post ealier and scream (in text form) and curse.

I'm glad I waited, cause I wana play it for GC.

Re: Want Zelda For the Gamecube? Not so fast...

That would just be silly of Nintendo, since if you had Zelda for Wii, why would buy it for GC?

Re: Want Zelda For the Gamecube? Not so fast...

I'd be mad.

Everybody's seen the update right?

Nintendo's official statement: Online reports about the Nintendo GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess are incorrect. The amazing game will be available at retail outlets nationwide on Dec. 13.

Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.

Re: Want Zelda For the Gamecube? Not so fast...

ooooooooooh, facts!


i guess they figured if they could just make **** up about sony, they could do the same for nintendo.

[DarkwingChuck]

Re: Want Zelda For the Gamecube? Not so fast...

Well they didn't make anything up exactly. They reported that Gamestop/EB pulled the game from their sites which is true. Then they jumped to the conclusion that that meant it wasn't going to be available in retail since Big N did that in Japan.

Re: Want Zelda For the Gamecube? Not so fast...

Amazing game?

They havn't even played it yet.

Re: Want Zelda For the Gamecube? Not so fast...

Yeah, Nintendo has made Twilight Princess a bit of a rarity on the Gamecube in other regions.

Re: Want Zelda For the Gamecube? Not so fast...

Never heard about that. Sorta takes away the novelty of having a first-party game be multi-platform like that if one version isn't available. Glad to hear that's not the case for US.

Re: Want Zelda For the Gamecube? Not so fast...

I cannot get the Wii this year, and I've been waiting a pretty damn long time for Twilight for the GC. I had HOPED that the rumors WEREN'T true.
