The Hylia - Twilight Princess for Wii Update

Home | News | TP for Wii: Sorry, No GCN Controller




Today at Camp Hyrule, during the George Harrison Chat, I was able to ask about Twilight Princess for Wii and GCN. George Harrison confirmed that the Wii version of Twilight Princess will not be able to utilize the GCN controller, much to the dismay of many fans hoping that the Wii version would allow for both options. He did say, however, that the GCN version could play on the Wii, and you could use the GCN controller that way. Harrison also confirmed that Twilight Princess will launch for Wii and GCN on the same day, and that Twilight Princess is a launch title.

TSA: Hi. What is up with the release status of Twilight Princess - is it coming out on GCN everywhere, or just here? Also, will we be able to use the GCN controller for the Wii version?" NOA_GEORGE_HARRISON: Zelda TP will be releasing on both GCN and Wii on the same day as the launch of Wii. The GCN controller will be able to play the GCN version on the Wii console, but will not be able to play the Wii version.

So, there you have it. I also managed to get in a question at the Localization chat about Tingle RPG and Tetra's Trackers: TSA: Tetra's Trackers never made it out of Japan, and I've always wondered why that got axed from Four Swords Adventures outside Japan. This also has me concerned about Tingle RPG (what's the official title of it, btw?). It seems like that game has almost no chance of coming out outside of Japan. What are its chances for coming out outside of Japan? NOA_BILL: Actually, there were a number of different factors involved in the Trackers decision. Part of it was simply trying to localize the voice cues they had in that game, which were all based on Japanese. It would have taken much longer to get that game out had we kept it, so in that sense, any decision on Tingle would be based on entirely different citeria. NOA_ANDY: Who named Tingle? NOA_BILL: The Zelda team named Tingle. Duh...

Anyway, that's all so far from Camp Hyrule in terms of official news. Tomorrow brings more guests, so we'll see. And oh yeah...thank you so much to IGN, 1UP, Kotaku and every site NOT named GoNintendo who felt the aweomse urge to post the info, and totally act like they found it themselves. Next time, try citing the person who ASKED the question in the first place, who bothered to register for the event, camp out to get into the event on time, and to figure out a question that the NOAs wouldn't dismiss for being too speculative or ridiculous that actually wouldbe newsworthy. Just a thought.

Probably the most unappreciated form of media from the Zelda series is the manga. Part one of our three part segment focuses on a potential Zelda film inspired by the manga.
