Yes, and the Gamecube version looks worse.

You've contradicted yourself quite sharply there. May I ask what else you could improve upon without using a new cutting-edge design? If you want to put it that way, PS3 uses an overclocked Xbox GPU. Nice job using first gen games as proof of Wiis lack of power. You don't think maybe the reason all Ubisoft, Atari and EA games look like ass on Wii is because all they ever did on GC was port PS2 games? That don't have a clue about how to properly utilise a Gamecube, let alone a Wii. Think for a second, which companies actually bothered to push Gamecube last gen? Off the top of my head I can think of Nintendo, SquareEnix, Capcom and Factor 5. Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 look a ton better than Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime 2; we've yet to see anything substantial of Crystal Chronicles Wii and RE: Umbrella Chronicles, and Factor 5 have legged it, so really all we can base it on are two games.

The GPU is bigger than the Cube's would be it it were made on that fabrication process. It has more transistors.

You are insanely stupid. Like, bannable stupid.

Ugh, no, retard. There isn't any loading times between character animations now, but there would be were the graphics significantly better.

You wouldn't mind loading times between every single character animation? Lol, k.

Fire emblem has no loading screens whatsoever, despite needing to load new music, any two of hundreds of available models and several of hundreds of possible animations in about 1/10th of a second, play them, then load the map screen with the dozens of characters, the previous music and map animations in another 1/10th of a second. If Xbox 360 had the same amount of RAM as Wii does it wouldn't be able to do the exact same game that fast even with the 12x DVD drive, DVD drives don't have access speeds fast enough. Nintendo have used specialised disc drives to try to eliminate loading times in games, and most of the time that means very low access speeds, especially when you're streaming. That's why Gamecube load times were orders of magnitude smaller than Xbox loading times, despite DVD having double the transfer speed of GCs GOD drive, Gamecube has much faster eccess times.

Sure I can, watch. BAM. I deny that. It isn't an overclocked gamecube, because the GPU is bigger. That alone is enough evidence to show that the graphics chip is actually new.

There was never meant to be a timeline with the first 3 zeldas and the 4th goes pretty much anywhere, but it's pretty clear that they started forming one with OoT onwards.

It has more than double the RAM and the GPU is 100-140% bigger. You're kidding yourself if you think it's an overclocked GC.

The bloom effects looked great in the post-E3 videos, like on the morph ball and where you have to roll past that flaming area without getting knocked in. Apart from that I think bloom is only used for the power beam shots, where it really looks great. I've heard they're emphasising blue and orange colours, though, like how The Matrix emphasised green.

Component cable, it's gold-plated and has progressive scan if you'd rather display at 480.

Moot point, no PC TBS plays remotely like Fire Emblem. Menus are mapped to certain buttons on the GCs pad, there aren't enough buttons to go around on the Wii Remote. Besides, plotting character routes with the pointer would suck balls, and there's still the bettery life issue. This game doesn't require any physical skill whatsoever; or any fast, precise selecting. Whatever the Wii remote could add to Fire Emblem would be minimal, not all games need something as advanced as motion control. I mean god, they could get it to work on a NES pad or a mobile phone keypad if they wanted to, the entire game is based around menus.

Who said F-Zero Wii has to play like X or GX? X plays nothing like the original F-Zero, why can't we have another F-Zero with different gameplay? All F-Zero really needs to be F-Zero is fast racing, a lack of weapons/items and pitlanes.

You'd buy a bad game if it were exclusive, but wouldn't buy a good game if it weren't? Boy, you are some special kind of retard.

Using a GC controller could be quicker to use, as you would be just pressing a button instead of aiming at part of the screen and pressing A, and would save on battery life.

Yeah, because Sega made all the previous F-Zero games and made GX without any help from Nintendo at all. LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Come to think of it, Xbox didn't have Xbox Live for the first year, and even then there's been like 4 new versions of it.

Nintendo believe more in playing with your friends on the same sofa than online, and it shows. Xbox might be your first choice for playing with others by yourself, but when the lads are over after a few beers what's gonna be played more? Xbox with Halo and Rainbow Six or Wii with Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Mario Party? Gamecube always smacked Xbox around in the party games department and the exact same thing will be the true of Wii and 360. Nintendo really just built online multiplayer into Wii to throw the more hardcore gamers a bone. They know most gamers don't want to pay for an online service so they did the best they could do with a free one. Surprise surprise, the Xbox brand still ain't making money. It's over $4 billion in the hole. How's that for some spin?

Kis Icarus has been dead for about 15 years and as far as I know Golden Sun has sold more as a series. Come on, Nintendo, we need some kickass RPG action.

Yeah, Twilight Princess sucked. WAIT LOL NO IT DIDN'T. You make no sense whatsoever as per usual, keep it up!

When you have a games that're so dependent on raw gameplay such as racing or fighting games it's difficult to bring about huge changes and still keep it feeling the same, such as OoT and Mario 64 managed to do. All you can really do is add a few mechanics and tweak for a year so it plays absolutely perfectly. Even though most of the moves are the same, Smash Bros 64 plays a heck of a lot differently than Melee just because of the physics, let alone the new mechanics and levels. I'm sure we'll be getting a similar change from Melee, I can tell just from all the levels being smaller than the game will be much more fast paced.

Who the hell cares? 576i over component looks miles better.

It would be clearer and colours would be much more vivid.

What? You don't design games for 480p, it's just an improved signal quality. Even if that made sense, Zelda has been designed for 480p anyway, like most GC 1st party games.
