Title: Zelda to use Revolution controller
Post by: Eiksirf on December 27, 2005, 06:50:24 AM: So the rumor going around is that the Gamecube Zelda game, Twilight Princess will be "forwards compatible" with the Revolution.

When played on that system, it will work with the Revolution controller in some capacity.

And I wonder how you folks might see it used. I\'d like to write about it, and I\'m wondering what kind of uses there are.

Swordplay is obvious. Or the fishing mini-game for sure.

I\'ve heard it could work as the reigns on a horse. How about sword in one hand, shield in another.

Somehow could it work as a bow and arrow?

It could aim the hookshot or maybe guide the boomerang as a pointer.

Point and click to throw a bomb?

What do we think?

(And actually, fishing with it is like the ideal concept. With the button acting like that reel thingabobber, it\'s just like the real thing. Only fake.)

Anyway, thanks for the ideas. ;]

Then again, Capcom made a goofy chainsaw controller and people liked it. People other than me.

All the magazines gushed over it. I saw it in Hot Topic. Picked it up when no one was looking. It didn\'t become cooler when I did that.

What did you expect from Myiamoto?He always seemed :gay:

I saw him once holding a shield and a Sword like that one and he was swinging them in a heroic manner in front of people to demonstrate Zelda. :eek:

He is such a child.Not that this is necessarily bad
