My point is that Revolution isn't going to improve graphics that much to make a difference in Twilight Princess. I mean whats the point of rendering highres textures and more polygons just to display them on a lowres display?? Since Revolution will only support 480p, its graphics arent going to be that much better than Gamecube's. Now if Revolution was going to support HD 720p or 1080i/p then I'd have to agree that better graphics would be a reason to put Twilight Princess on the Revolution (since it is a beautiful game) but it will look just as good on Gamecube.
If the dev kits are so similar then I'm not too sure how improved the graphics of the revolution will be over the gamecube. It seems to me that Nintendo's goal for the revolution is not to try and bring us a better gamecube but bring us a new, innovative way to play videogames. It's similar to what they did with the GBA and DS. Although the DS has much improved graphics over the GBA they have not dropped support for the GBA completely. They released the DS, not really as a replacement for the GBA, but as a new, innovative platform for mobile gaming. The same will probably happen with the Revolution.
Although the Revolution will have better graphics, its going to be a whole different console compared to the Gamecube. Nintendo seems to be on this cycle with its consoles where they first bring a new, innovative platform in one generation, and then improve it in the next, then back to bringing an innovative platform. NES brought great arcade games into the home, SNES improved on the NES. Then they brought gamers into full 3D with full analog control and 4 player support with the N64, and the Gamecube improved upon that. Now its time for Nintendo to innovate yet again with the Revolution. And it is for this reason I don't think Nintendo will release Twilight Princess for Revolution. Could you imagine Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island as a release title for N64?? 2D on the N64 would just not have been right.
I, for one, am glad that Nintendo is taking the time they need to devlop the game further. Nintendo has always produced the highest quality games and if this is the step they need to take to continue that trend then I say go for it. Hopefully the extra time will allow them to deepen the game and produce a title that can be compared to Ocarina of Time. Fans have been waiting for a Zelda title that brings them back to those N64 days that they remember and, with the extra time and effort, Twilight Princess looks like it may be that title.
