Wii Version of Twilight Princess to Require Wiimote

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wiitastic dept.

1up is reporting that the Wii version of Nintendo's Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will require the use of the Wiimote. The GameCube controller for the Wii will not be usable for the Wii version of the game, despite the fact that the game will also be coming out on the Cube. This has provoked discussion that the Wii version of the game may include extra content or gameplay elements, which will make it unplayable with the GameCube controller. From the article: "Many had hoped Nintendo would allow for dual Wii and GameCube support ala a number of upcoming Wii releases, but Nintendo appears confident enough in its design that hardened fans will have to pick up the GameCube release if they're that hardcore. You still have time to decide which one sways you, as both versions will be launched simultaneously during Wii's launch date this fall."

    "I doubt Nintendo would let any of their games, least of all Zelda, ship with controls that were in any way bad."

    Super Mario 64.
    Metroid Prime.

    Oversensitive analog stick in a rigid platformer, and what is basically a FPS with a console controller. Bad controls all the way around.

    I'm not too thrilled with the concept of a reimagined lightgun controller that I have to wave around like an idiot for the whole game.
