Det ser ut til at Nintendo anser deres egen GameCube-konsoll for steindød i hvert fall hvis man skal tro spillmagasinet Famitsu. De kan nemlig fortelle at mens The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess er på gaten til Wii i landets mange butikker, så kan GC-versjonen bare bestilles over nettet. Det vil altså kun være mulighet for å kjøpe GameCube-utgaven via diverse nettbutikker.
Om dette samtidig er en smart måte å presse eksisterende eiere av en GC over til å kjøpe en Wii sier ikke historien noe om, men det kan tyde på det.
Her er mer fakta:
Link, a young man raised as a wrangler in a small, rural village, is ordered by the mayor to attend the Hyrule Summit. He sets off, oblivious to the dark fate that has descended upon the kingdom. When he enters the Twilight Realm that has covered Hyrule, he transforms into a wolf and is captured. A mysterious figure named Midna helps him break free. With the aid of her magic, they set off to free the land from the shadows.
Characters: Link, Zelda, Midna and many other characters, both new and old. How to progress through the game: Link must explore the vast land of Hyrule and uncover the mystery behind its plunge into darkness. As he does, he’ll have to enlist the aid of friendly folk, solve puzzles and battle his way through dangerous dungeons. In the Twilight Realm, he’ll have to use his wolf abilities and Midna’s magic to bring light to the land.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Besides his trusty sword and shield, Link will use his bow and arrows, fight while on horseback and use a wealth of other items, both new and old. Players can use the Wii Remote as a fishing pole, while a spin of the Nunchuk controller executes a spin attack
