Behind the Rupees: Silence, Patience, and Faith

Well I'm still angry that the revolution still had something to do with it's delay but it may not have to be the main reason of it's delay though..

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY. I may not have had anything to do with the delay. Remember, miyamoto said they're not finsihed with the game yet.

And please. For my browsers sake, stop double posting. just edit.

If thats the case then, I felt that they should have worked on the revolution add-on some other time and worked straight forward on the gameplay. I'm pretty sure they would have released the game alot earlier then fall. Then release a directors cut with all the revolution add-ons that they can put in the game.

Well. That was quite a heated argument.

I would like to say is just don't go bursting your bubble until the game acctualy arrives.
Sure many are fusterated and many like me were concerned about the exposure of the game on gamecube.

But what ever happens, for good and for bad. The delay will be forgotten once when the game finally comes out.
Don't forget. With 100 hours worth of gameplay may require a fair few months of translating to different languishes. Don't forget that there are Zelda fans from Korea, Germany, France, Brazil who all speek different and we don't want the translaters to rush or else there will be horrendes spelling mistakes. For example, look at the text for older RPG's that were censored out because of Nintendo of America's censorship laws. Or even more recently there is bad translation in Pokemon Gale of Darkness when one grown up person was talking gibberish. (I saw it in the UK Cube mag from the review a few months back)

Well that is only my opinion.

How very true lord-of-shadow, how very true indeed.

I won't sit back and say that I wasn't annoyed to hear that TP has been delayed again, because I was. But certainly not enough to sit back and throw my dummy out of the pram and say "I'M NOT GETTING IT NOW!" because that's just ridiculous, and it makes a futile attempt to undermine the real reason why TP has been delayed - like it's been said - to make TP better. I personally don't see what is wrong with Nintendo taking another half year to develop this latest Zelda game...because I have all faith that Miyamoto will deliver to us die-hard Zelda fans a truly excellent Zelda game.

The effect a Behind the Rupees article has on people, eh?

Though YOU just double posted. Lets not play the blame game, regardless of who was winning.

I, for one am used to long waits and that is why TP not coming out hans't annoyed me. That and I only got my gamecube for christmas last year, so technically Ive only been waiting a few months >.>

One of Link340's posts got deleted, you can't see that exactly as a regular member.


I really don't believe that the delay was purely for the Revo-add on. The idea of it was mentioned a while ago, before this new delay, so I doubt it. Plus, you just need to think about it for a moment; would they seriously need nearly seven months just to put that in?

They're probably fine-tuning it even more or adding new levels, details, quests and such, maybe more items and enemies. That's what I think, and I'd be really glad if that's what its for.

I don't believe for a minute that the entire delay will be spent on the controller. But I do think that if they really are cleaning it up for a next-gen system, that we may see graphic improvements, as well as a more polished game (on both systems) due to it being given a good "proofread". (Can't think of a better word for this, really.)

It's been a hunch I've had for a few months, ever since the Xbox 360 came out. Rare had to overhaul two major releases to prepare for the Next-gen system. One of these titles, Kameo, has been in development since the Nintendo 64. The xbox version was almost ready for release LAST spring, but was delayed much in the way we're seeing Twilight Princess delayed now. It would not surprise me if the changes in Kameo since Rare was owned by Nintendo have given Nintendo some ideas.

First, check out this comparison shot of Xbox vs. the overhauled 360 version by Rare: http://www.rareware.com/games/recent...kameo_14hi.jpg

Now, look at this screenshot of the horse battle from Twilight Princess:

Finally, compare it with this war-scene of Kameo riding through the troll army:

Imagine Twilight Princess being cleaned up and refurbished to THAT level, and you can imagine that Nintendo might drool at the thought of doing it themselves.

Fact is, the advantages of going next gen would NOT be lost on Nintendo, especially since Rare used to be a piece of their own industry. If they can spice things up by offering some sort of dual-boot disk, it might further the interest in their new system while still keeping game sales flowing from people not yet willing to upgrade.

Also say little Johnny takes his Twilight Princess disk over to Billy's house to see what it looks like on his Revolution. That's when little Johnny starts drooling and asking his mom for a Revolution.

I am just sad that I will not have very much time to play it in the fall. I was hoping an April release date would let me use my four months of summer, but now school gets in the way during November. Too bad...based on pre-order giveaways, I may just wait until the winter break when I get some time off...

In the end guys, lets just get over it. So what if the game comes out in the Fall(most likely for Gamecube). Because as stated many times before, it will be a much better game then now. I know its probably clueless to you why their delaying it, but their most likely just adding final touches or "side-quests to the game." Don't worry anybody, at least you have something to look forward to after summer!

PS: Remeber, fall is September and October, so TTP will most likey come out right after school begins again.
