No response necessary, all you have to do is vote.

I have a fishy feeling because of that big delay that It will probably come out on the revolution. Especially since they wait till AFTER xmas to release this and not before, the BIG N has done this before with games, I've never seen it this bad either.

I voted Revolution.
I'm going to be buying Revolution anyways.. and if it came out for it, the game would be that much better.

I think for sure it will still come out for Gamecube, but in my opinion I think that's a pretty bad move. (ONly because it's been delayed now) I mean it's so close to the systems end life, I think that the sales will still be great, but could have been bigger.

We'll see I guess. (The sales part)

Amazingly, no one is saying the same thing about Final Fantasy 12 on the PS2.

Probably because the PS2 isn't dead.

Considering that the Gamecube still sees commercial support, and still sells, it's not technically "dead".

Agreed, but you have to admit that there is strong emphasis on the "technically". The Cube is sadly getting very few new releases where the PS2 is still seeing piles on new games each month. Basically, there isn't much of a comparison between releasing a blockbuster on the obviously viable PS2 and releasing one on the "one foot in the grave" Cube.

I voted Gamecube, tho I believe that Nintendo WOULD indeed lie to me if it suited them.

I beg to differ, however, as FF12 on the PS3 would still sell extremely well, as TP would on the Revolution. But all the people waiting for it to come out on PS2 would get pissed off, and that would overall hurt their image.

Gamecube will be the console it lands on.

Since the Revolution is backwards comp, I don't think Nintendo will spend all the time to recode Zelda for the Rev. It's not needed.

If it comes out on the Revolution, I'll buy everyone who voted Revolution in this thread a copy of the game, as long as it's not bundled with the system at launch.

Everyone, vote Revolution! LOL
I voted Gamecube myself. I doubt it will come for Revolution. As someone mentioned I dont they will take the time to recode the whole game. Unless thats whats the delay about, but I strongly doubt it. So.. yes, gamecube it is :)

I said Revolution because it just makes sense to release a "killer app" on your new system.

But this is Nintendo....so it will probably be on the Gamecube.

They would have to cancel ALL of the preorders, because not everyone is buying the rev.

Are there some specs for Revolution yet? Is there even a release date/period set? I would find it strange if Nintendo just released Revolution "just like that".

I hope it's for GameCube, 'cause I'm not buying a next-gen console. I'm so retro, I'm always one console-cycle behind. I've just recently put away the N64. It took longer than I thought to play all the titles for that system, and I've just scratched the surface of the games for DreamCast.

It makes sense to have SOME Zelda game ready for launch, but it won't be this one. It does not make sense to push this game for the Gamecube for 17 months and then move it to a different system.

As mentioned, they would have to cancel every preorder in the nation, and that's not acceptable to any retailers that have them.

The reason Cube has so fewer releases than the PS2 is because Nintendo has always been quality over quantity. Why release 25 mediocre games when you can release 10 really awesome, well-thought-out, detailed, well-designed games?? True, there is an obscene number of PS2 games compared to GC games, but the bulk of them are generic, budget puzzle and platformers that sell at my store for $10 or less! Like: Mojo, Trigger Man, Pool Paradise...I could go on...

This line of thought is very contradictory to what happened on he NES.

There was a ton of crap games on the NES (3rd party) but the other reason the system was popular was *BECAUSE* it had all games on it.

Not sure I follow the logic on this one. Since the majority of Gamecube games are third party titles that have been released on multiple platforms, are you saying Nintendo has been discouraging third party developers from bringing mediocre mediocre games to their system?

I assume what you mean is that Nintendo as a first party developer tends to release a high quality product. Since fewer third party developers support the Cube, a higher percentage of the games are first party and thus higher quality. Nintendo definitely produces more games than Sony in a given year and probably more than Microsoft, but I don't have the exact numbers. Since the quality of Nintendo first party games seems to be better (or at least equal to) Sony and Microsoft, it seems to me more a case of superior quality and quantity, at least from a first party standpoint.

The real reason why the Cube has fewer games is because third party developers have been fleeing the Cube like rats off a sinking ship. This is because the same title sells more copies on Xbox or PS2, not because Nintendo has any sort of superior quality enforcement for third party titles.
