The Great Zelda Debate (GCN)

Whenever anything Zelda-related comes up, things just get nasty. It's a fact.

Zelda: Twilight Princess is one of the most anticipated games of 2006, or is it? Loyal Nintendo fans are eagerly preparing to guide Link through another wonderful adventure, but how many people actually care? With GameCube sales slumping, there have been rumors (none confirmed by Nintendo, of course), that the company might be saving the game for its upcoming Revolution console, and that Zelda is going through a next gen revision. But until we get to the bottom of this issue, staff writers Robert Workman and Chris Buffa had a heated debate concerning the game and where it should end up. Does Nintendo release Twilight Princess to the GameCube faithful or make it the number one killer app for Revolution? Or should it do both? Round one! FIGHT!

Workman: Zelda next year will be awesome, I'm sure.

Buffa: Zelda will hopefully be next gen. They would be stupid not to bump it.

Workman: Nah. It'll stay GC. As it should.

Buffa: As it should? That doesn't make any sense.

Workman: I think it'd be excellent staying right where it is.

Buffa: No! No one on our staff, save like... 3 people, care about GameCube.

Workman: Nintendo should just give GameCube owners one last great title before moving on to Revolution. I mean, Chibi-Robo? WTF? You want to end a GameCube legacy with THAT?

Buffa: GameCube? No one cares....it's done.....u roll up your sleeves and wipe it away and u prepare for the next gen. Fan boys will be pissed, but whatever. Twilight Princess doesn't even look good graphically anymore with the next generation looming, so u bump it.

Workman: Um, fan boys? The system DOES have a user base, and that user base is loyal to Nintendo. If you just go and dump people on it then you run the risk of alienating your audience for Revolution. And Zelda looks great graphically. If anything lacked graphically, it was Wind Waker. But I think Zelda should stay GameCube. It got TONS of attention at E3 on its current platform and it will be a terrific send-off for the system. Moving it to Revolution will just piss off the Nintendo loyal and hurt sales.
