PokerPacker Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Although the same game, the additions (although minor in most respects) made for a different game and a better experience IMO. Using the motion control was great. Plus the game just felt more fluid. But you are right. For all intents and purposes, it was (and always will be) and GC original. honestly, I wasn't a fan of the sword motion controls in Twilight Princess. As much as I hate when people use this term, they truly were waggle controls. the gamecube controller was more natural for me and I had greater control over the sword movements on that controller (you can actually do a little more with the sword than they ever tell you. pressing a direction as you attack will actually affect the direction of your attack). to be fair, though, I hadn't played much of Wii TP. I only borrowed it from a friend so that I could hack my Wii when the Twilight Hack was all that was out there. One thing the Wii version did have over the GCN version, though, was widescreen. such a shame they didn't have a widescreen mode for the GCN version (but at least they had progressive scan).

Hell, even with the N64's controller you could fully control Link's movements and motions. But the Wii controller enabled you to feel as if you were actually doing it. For the record, I am not a big fan of the Wii. It's far too gimmicky. (And yes, I realize the irony in me praising the controller in TP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can slice while dodging to the side. also, a big one is that you can finish a roll with a sword-strike. it's as strong as the leaping strike but you can't do it while locked on and it closes the distance even more.

Sticksboi05 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 I too am in the camp of people who have only kept their Wii for this game.I absolutely love Zelda. OoT is easily one of the top 5 greatest games of all time. Twilight Princess is certainly the best Wii game to date. Very excited to play this one. Not even close. Best Wii games are Mario Galaxy and Mario Galaxy 2 in a landslide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunClintonRun26 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Not even close. Best Wii games are Mario Galaxy and Mario Galaxy 2 in a landslide. Mario Galaxy was a great game. Closest Mario game to Mario 64 in fact, in terms of value and entertainment. This list of course is all consoles post Nintento and SNES, as I still think Super Mario Bros 3 (Nintendo) and Super Mario Bros (SNES) are right up there as well. But come on? Trying to compare essentially running on a ball to riding a horse while shooting, all trying to protect the destruction of a horse and carriage? No contest. ---------- Post added November-8th-2011 at 04:06 PM ---------- mario kart for wii is one of the best also IMO. the controller and nunchuck are perfect for driving, very exact controls I actualyl preferred Mario Kart 64. The one for the Wii is indeed VERY good. But they went too far with the weapons IMO. Mario Kart 64 was simple yet unbelievably addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 There is no way you can look with a straight face and tell me Twilight Princess is a superior video game to either Mario Galaxy. Graphics are inferior, gameplay is less refined, there's no multiplayer aspect at all. It's not even close. Best SNES game between Chrono Trigger, SMW and ALTTP is close. This is not close.

PokerPacker Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 To add to the discussion of the best Wii game, I submit The Xenoblade Chronicles. Unfortunately it went unreleased in America, but it is quite an experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant it was one of the best wii games. 64 kart is still my favorite of the kart series, though the SNES, GC, and wii versions are all very good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything the Wii was supposed to be able to do is showcased on Galaxy/2 except for the MotionPlus tomfoolery which should've been standard.

RedskinFeathers Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I want to try this. I have a Wii but aside from Sports Resort and Wii Fit, I mainly just download N64 games. I started new games of Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time about a month ago, I just wish I had more time to play. I've been wanting to download Banjo Kazooie for a while too. But yeah this Zelda game looks pretty good, I just have strong doubts that anything will top OoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 everything I'm reading is saying that this is pretty much the best Zelda ever. new IGN review out. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinklein Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 OoT and A Link to the Past are the two best easily. To be honest, Twilight Princess disappointed me. Ocarina stands as my favorite, but I thought Twilight Princess was incredible. Majora's was fun, but overall meh...and don't get me started on Windwaker.

PokerPacker Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 you know, this is what's great about he Zelda franchise. We all obviously have differing tastes, and they are able to capture all of us through their various games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelda and Mario aren't really comparable. Mario's all about levels and spurts of fun while Zelda wants to make you feel a part of another world. Mario's graphics are better, but the art styling of Zelda made that a given considering Wii's power. What's more confusing to me is how you can actually downgrade Zelda for not having a multiplayer mode! That's not what 3d Zelda's about at all.

Yeah, the multiplayer isn't really supposed to be a knock on Zelda, but more a boost for Mario. In this case, Zelda's GPA doesn't go down, but Mario's goes up.

DeaconTheVillain Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I loved Ocarina of time....I remember playing it for 10 hours a day over christmas break in whatever year it came out. I also loved the first zelda game, it came gold colored. I also really loved links awakening for gameboy.

Zazzaro703 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Im getting a Wii and put money down on the controller pack for this game. As a video gamer, I can't miss what's being called the best Zelda of all time. So many great games out or coming out in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
