So, interestingly enough, it seems that the GameCube version of Twilight Princess will only be released in the US:

WTF?!

And people say importing isn't needed?!

I typed a whole lot of nonsense in response to that, but I'm going to hold myself back.

Also, your link isn't working. How can I spread this around the net without a source to credit?

Hm, well it did. Anyways, it looks like someone is mincing too many words here. I would ignore it as nothing more than speculation and rumor mill stuff.

Still, it would be pretty interesting to see this actually happen

Honest question: would Japan care that much, do you think?

A week ago someone asked the question, "why buy a Wii to play Zelda when you could play it on GameCube?" I suppose that, at least in other territories, Nintendo has thought of that as well.

I've been reading and re-reading that statement over the last 2 days and I have to wonder: How did we come to this conclusion?

His words are "Will be released in the Americas" not "WILL ONLY BE RELEASED IN THE AMERICAS" and not affixed with "And nowhere else". It seems like he was speaking as the NoA rep about the A.

i dunno, that first sentence seems pretty straightforward. not the best sentence; i've seen better, for sure.

I just thought of something (I'm slow, sue me): does this mean that the Wii will play both the GC and Wii versions of Twilight Princess?

I still haven't played Minish Cap or Majora's Mask, or Oracle of Seasons. Damn I'm far behind in my Zelda games.

I never played Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, or Four Swords.

Majora's Mask is the only must-play out of the ones you two mentioned. It's hard as balls (I thought) and might just be better than Ocarina of Time. If it's not better, it's certainly stranger.

Yea, I got Minish Cap for my Birthday in March. About a month later I remembered that I had it. I played it for 2 hours one night in April. I just remebered that I had the game.

I wonder if the Wii version will have the option to play without the new controller hardware. Probably not.

Ah, well. I'll be buying however many versions they release, anyway.

I can't wait to get the Wii just so I can play Majora's Mask! I've always wanted to play it. I'm rather pissed I missed out on the Bonus disk that was handed out when you preordered something a while ago. I got Ocarina and Master Quest when I preordere Wind Waker . . . but MM is a sneaky one.

Wait, Wii isn't going to be able to play GB games too, is it? Do I still need a DS for all those?

I agree with Shaper.

I really don't think it will take long for them to add original Game Boy games (maybe even early GBC titles) to the virtual console selection if that service takes off.

Virtual Console pricing structure.

I haven't got the impression that Nintendo will be tossing whole libraries (or anything close) up onto the service - just that there will be some select games they'll deign to let you pay for again.

I think the inclusion of Sega and NEC is kind of hinting that they might be, actually. Or at least I'm hoping!

(when I put the Metal Slug collection disc into the console, will it call me a wiener?)
