GameFAQs Contests

TP is a GC game. Sure more people palyed it on wii but for me and the 1 million people who purchased the GC version it was a GC game that they PORTED to wii. Once SKyward Sword comes out people won't even consider TP a wii game anyway, they only do it now since the GC died in 2006.

And GC wasn't hated because there was no need to fans to hate the GC. Sure it looked like a handbag but it played games with graphics similar to Xbox/PS2 and it got good Nintendo support.

In fact if it NEVER came out on Wii and GC only say in 2005..it would probably still be as strong as it is today.

From: TheKoolAidShoto | #210
That's not a fact at all. That's a hypothetical situation you just pulled out of your ass.

Can't wait to see how FFX does against Borderlands!

From: charmander6000 | #215
No one is saying that TP gets all of its strength from the Wii, it would be like arguing something like Fallout 3 is an Xbox360 game and it gets all of its strength from that console..

We could call TP a multiplatform game I guess.

From: TheKoolAidShoto | #220
Me too, but just because I want to see RE4 out-do that % on VC and get my "RE4 > FFX" train rolling.

From: FFI3_Lightning | #219
Yeah but i only mentioned it because people seem to think that's what TP's strength is based on. It's wrong to call it just a "wii" game. I never said it's MORE of a GC game than a wii game, maybe i should have worded that statement better. Technically it's a GC game ported to a wii. Though i do acknowledge it was far more popular on the Wii. But on this specifc site if you did a poll on "which version of TP you played first" then a Wii wouldn't be winning by a lot. A lot of people got this on GC. That's my point..not the fact that more people played on wii.

5 million and 1 million is huge in reality..but GC version still sold over a million. you can't use those sales numbers to point out TP's strength on this site.

You also can't argue that the Gamecube gave TP most of its strength either.

Wasn't TP almost Brawl levels of hype here, or am I remembering wrong? And all that hype was about the GC version.

From: FFI3_Lightning | #223
That would be amazing. FFX losing to RE4 would make me extremely happy.

From: XIII_rocks | #225
RE4 > FFX would be amazing and annoying, since I originally picked it before chickening out.

From: TheCodeisBosco | #228
RE4 > FFX would be amazing. It'd totally kill my bracket, yeah, but it'd still be awesome!

From: charmander6000 | #224
people always say TP and Brawl are strong failing to acknowledge that TP did come out on GC and that it's not just a wii game.

You also can't argue that the Gamecube gave TP most of its strength either.

From: AlecTrevelyan006 | #226
If you asked the general site, I think it'd be really heavily towards Wii.

I think the "hardcore" gamers are getting overwhelmed by their Wii hate and blaming everything on Wii hate. And people are forgeting people used to like the Wii much like people apparently forget the Gamecube was hated by the "hardcore" gamers for years.

And as such, people think "Well Wii isn't popular among hardcore gamers, so most of the hardcore gamers must have played on Gamecube", which is ignoring the fact that in 2006-2007 the Wii hadn't fully alienated the "hardcore" gamers yet and a lot of hardcore gamers got the Wii at launch.

The super hardcore Nintendo fans with a chance to get their Zelda a month early?

Well that's because the Wii version wasn't announced until later and the hype switched when it was announced.


Someone should do a poll, even just on this board, I'd like to see what the rest of Board 8 thinks.

From: Lightning Strikes | #235
If you consider 15% of sales significant then I guess so.

From: FFI3_Lightning | #240
And How much hype is there for SS? honestly...not as much as TP or Brawl that's for sure.

From: The n00b Avenger | #237
I lost hype when it was announced for a Wii. I mean... come on... the Wii was just laughable. I wouldn't be caught dead buying one(yes I still don't have one) I think I would have killed someone if they announced it was going to be a Wii exclusive(I literally bought my Gamecube for 'the next Zelda game'.

But that's just me >_>

Excellent. More passengers for my RE4 > FFX upset train. Oh, and I have FFX > RE4 too, but f*** it, lets get this awesome result going.

From: TheKoolAidShoto | #242
To be fair, we haven't exactly seen a whole lot of it.

From: SuperWhiscash | #244
I own this train. I actually took this. RE4 to the finals where it belongs. (...losing to...Brawl. and there are some Melee > RE4 gurus. sighhhhhhhhhhhh.)

From: FFI3_Lightning | #239
The level of hate GC got isn't anywhere near Wii's though.
