Red Steel and SSB:Brawl have collectively sold me also. BUT, a big turnoff: Samus with a laser sword (hopefully a pick-up weapon!)

It's going to be released for the Wii, and at the same time it will be released for the GameCube.

Wait. Please explain that to me.

But, for the gamers that don't want the Wii JUST for the new Zelda game, a GameCube version has been made and will also be sold on Wii's opening day.

Basically, TP was upgraded from GameCube game with Wii functionality to fully-fledged Wii game, but as Nintendo promised many times that it would be released on the GC they have made two versions to keep that promise.
Apart from the control changes, the Wii version is widescreen, whereas the GC version is only capable of 4:3.
Ooh, a laserdisc. The Cheat's playin' something on a laserdisc.
Everything is better on a laserdisc. Whatever happened to the laserdisc? Laserdisc!

I'm looking forward to this big time. The only console I purchased in the past 10-12 years on opening day was the Sega Saturn, and I regret that tremendously. I don't know why I ever abandoned Nintendo after the NES, but I'm glad to be back now and am looking forward to downloading some of the stuff I missed with the SNES and N64 over the years, as well as getting back some NES games! I've been trying to tell my kids that even though the graphics are not as good as other stuff for the GC, the games are of great quality and will still be enjoyable. I've been DVR'ing G4's live coverage of E3. I will say that it seems Nintendo is getting shafted on coverage compared to PS3, which is a joke considering how expensive that piece of junk will be.
Can't believe we've got another 6 months before we can get this thing. ARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

- mine's still plugged in!I've been playing a lot of Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country lately (on my XBox SNES Emulator) - pretty damn sweet games.
I'm still looking forward to having a Wii (get it?!). Man, doesn't that PS3 look like a debacle?

Two versions?! It's like Star Wars! Which one should I get?!

I am currently under the impression (and one that may be easily dispelled by new knowledge) that the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess is launching in the third quarter of the year (July, August, or September) and that the Wii version will launch along side the system in quarter four (October, November or December, probably November) so that the GC owners will get an inferior version of the game, but they'll get it first.
Still, considering what I've seen at this E3, I'm almost ready to reconsider whether to buy a Wii on launch day, normally a definite mistake.
Red Steel and SSB:Brawl have collectively sold me also. BUT, a big turnoff: Samus with a laser sword (hopefully a pick-up weapon!)

I'm sure that only the Zero Suit Samus will have the laser sword. The armored version will probably have the normal assortment of Metroid weapons. Has anyone else noticed the "Super Attacks"? It seems that there is a new item that looks like the SSB emblem, and when grabbed, the character performs a Super attack. Mario fired a flurry of fireballs that would make Vegeta proud at Link, and Link did a sword combo to Mario with the Triforce as the background (in the trailer)... And Samus entered firing a charge beam the size of a Kamehameha energy wave.

The closest they have gotten since those games you mentioned was that Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons on the GBC had extra features on the GBA, but there was still just one version. And even then, it was technically developed by Capcom.

The Gameboy Player attatment makes it capable of playing the GBA games and the GBA version of ALink to the Past, and the Collectors Edition Disk has everything else not developed for the GC. Of course it also costs quite a bit extra. If you're just getting the Wii, obvioulsy you can't use that perriphrial
As for Gamecube Zeldas...
The Wind Waker is an excellent game. There are some segnemts when you're sailing where you can run off and grab a drink while waiting to get from one island to another, but otherwise it is very involved all the way through, and has some great dungeon design. It also has what I consdier the BEST ending of any of the games, and looks gorgeous. It has dropped to $20 now and is a must-buy.
Four Sword Adventures may be harder to find. It isn't near as good, but it is still fun. The game is best when played with two to four players, but to do this you have to use a GBA (A DS won't work) and Nintendo's ill-fated GBA-GC connetion perriphreal. You have kids, right Sage? If so, it would probably be worth the effort to track it down, because the game was designed and really shines as a multiplayer game. I don't know what this game's current retail price is.
Collectors Edition is a compilation of Zelda's 1 and 2, and Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time. Zelda one and two are way retro old school, and are worth playing despite their age. Ocarina and Majora's mask on the other hand are absoute masterpieces both. The Collectors Edition might be a bit hard to find since it was a promotional disc instead of meant for retail, and it could cost you upwards of $30 even though it was free with a Gamceube.
Ocarina of Time Master Quest Another promotional disk, this one designed to be given out if you pre-ordered Wind Waker. It includes the original version of Ocarina of Time and a remastered edition similar to the second quest in the first Legend of Zelda, with different dungeons and such. It could also cost you upwards of $30 and may be even harder to find than the Collector's Edition since it only came with TWW preorders. Both it and the Collectors Edition can only be found used.

Thanks for the info. Man, I've got Nintendo fever right now!
I almost picked up Wind Waker last week but opted to wait. I have also seen Four Swords and was under the impression it was multiplayer.
I'll probably wait for the Wii in terms of playing the old-school stuff (1 & 2) instead of beating my head against the wall for the collector's disc.
Yes, I have two young kids. They really enjoy Mario Sunshine and Power Tennis. I'd also like to get Strikers as I tried it at Toys-R-Us and was impressed.
