Zelda Twilight Princess for GC or Wii? (POLL)

At the Wii's launch I bought and beat Twilight Princess twice and now I feel like starting it over, but I'm wondering whether to start the Wii version again or the GC version this time. What do you guys think? Does the game feel different when played on a GC controller opposed to the Wii one?

I hate the waggle in the Wii version, so GC version.

It really doesn't make a difference, outside of a few technical things in the Wii version. Sepewrath

16:9 display ratio is not "a technical thing." It pretty much seals the deal if you have an HDTV.

I'd say go with the GC version, the waggle sucks.

I have both the Gamecube version looks better on my LCD TV. I have the Wii hooked up with component cables and the Gamecube hooked up with S-Video. The Gamecube version looks way better.

I know their both identical except the mirroring but Gamecube games look better with S-Video then on the Wii with component cables.

I'm going to go with the silent majority of us and say easily the Wii version. 16:9, IR pointing and sword swinging make the game much better.

Wii. 16:9 is the way to go.

The Wii version.16:9 is nice,and the controls are better overall.

GCN version for me, because I don't like the tacked on waggle. I usually play my GCN and Wii games on my old CRT anyway, but even when I don't, the lack of widescreen is not an issue to me.

1. Better aiming.

2. The "waggle" > Button press

3. Wii version is 16:9 widescreen

I don't care for the waggle controls either, but the Wii Version has true widescreen support, which is why I chose it over the GC version. Basically, if you have a HDTV, then go with the Wii version. If you have an old 4:3 tube tv, then go GC.

If you flail, you fail. If you waggle, you're doing it wrong. A flick of the wrist and all is well. The Wii version of course.

i also remember being more impressed with the gamecube graphics.

about the widescreen... the wii streatches the agmecube image and honestly the the stretching looks minor to me....never bothered me.

The Wii version kind of annoys me because of the Mirroring. That's my only problem with it though.

I haven't played the GC version, but if you can use the C-stick as camera control, like in Wind Waker, then definitely go with that one. If there's one thing I hate about Twilight Princess Wii and Skyward Sword it's that you have limited camera control. It works great in a game like Super Mario Galaxy where the camera is programmed to show the best angle, but in a game like Zelda where it's mostly behind you it's just frustrating.

GameCube version!!

I hate the mirroring in Wii one.

Aiming with the Wii controllers is much more fun so for that reason i would go with Wii version.

Wii version easily, first of all the motion controls just make it feel like at least something a bit different than the norm. Plus like others have said, IR over the shoulder aiming is better, then there's widescreen, midnas voice and other sounds cues that come from the wiimote. Another thing is that the spin attack can be done instantly where as in the gamecube version you had to get into position and charge it to pull it off. I also found fishing a lot more fun since its a bit more challenging and rewarding, in the gamecube one you pretty much just have to real it in and thats about it. Theres Little nuances here and there, but id say its worth it just for those and i feel like most who say otherwise just didnt care for the motion controls or couldnt get the wii version at release lol.

the reticule for aiming in the wii version is pretty hideous so i wouldnt even say its better looking despite the widescreen support.LoG-Sacrament

Its not that bad at all, its much qucker to move around the screen, and most of all you dont have to see the muddy textures of the bow close up when your playing the wii version.

You don't have to charge the spin attack in the Gamecube version, just spin the stick and hit a button. Way more accurate than waggling the nunchuck around. I'll grant your other points, but the voices coming out of the wiimote were just shoehorned in there and sounded awful. Only real decent use of the wiimote's (awful, awful) speaker would be in No More Heroes.DJ_Lae

Ah, well its been a while since ive played the gamecube version, so i stand corrected on that part, i own both versions but i still enjoy the wii one more. The waggling was as just as accurate, it never failed for me.

One other thing i forgot to mention in my first post was that in the wii version you can aslo equip more items at one time, the wii version lets you cycle between 4 items at a time, while the gamecube one only has spots for 2 on the button layout.

like so

Its not that bad at all, its much qucker to move around the screen, and most of all you dont have to see the muddy textures of the bow close up when your playing the wii version.

My reticule didn't bob around the screen. I found it very intutive. Of course in Skyward Sword it was done much better and more immersive.

GC version is superior because it's the original build. I don't like my games mirrored.

This. Twilight Princess accelerometer sword swings are well-implemented, unlike Okami's Wii port (where normal attacks are so unreliable that I'm often left open to attack when I should have hit the enemy again), so I see no cause for complaint. NamelessPlayer

No, you're just doing it wrong.

I have both versions. The GC version has some performance issues, and controlling your bow with the analog is vastly inferior to the pointer control offered by the Wii version. Give it a go, though. Still a great game.

GameCube version is infinitely better since you don't have to use the garbage motion controls, and plus Link is supposed to be left handed, yet the Wii version is messed up since he is right handed. But everyone who is a fan of Zelda knows that Link is left handed.

I have only played the GC version, because back when the game was released I was not in the mood to buy a Wii just to play a Zelda port, so I stuck with my GC, waited an extra month and bought my game.

ahem, not any more

and thats such a terrible reason to disregard the game anyway.

you don't have to disregard Twilight Princess. Just get the vastly superior GameCube version.

Thanks for all your input guys! but I plan on trying both copies out side-by-side for about an hour each and then I'll decide which version to continue with...(I'm leaning towards the Wii version BUT don't tell anyone...)
