Zelda: Twilight Princess

If they hadn't put anything concrete about the GC release into the retail channel, I might be inclined to believe it, but they've had trailers explicitly stating it a GC release on the last couple of demo discs they've put in retailers' GC kiosks. I'm really skeptical that they'd go back after a hard announcement to retailers/consumers like that.

At the very least it will be the perfect swan song for the Gamecube. Follow it up with the quickness with a Revolution launch loaded with Mario 128, and with the fresh interest the system would most likely fare much better.

zelda=GC with 20 mil. usebase>Zelda with Rev userbase which will probably tap at 1 or 2 mil worldwide at launch.

Smash brothers and FF:CC 2 are the killer apps Nintendo is banking the Rev on.

Why should I even care anymore?

The Revolution won't sell at launch unless it's next holidays. At most they'll have Mario and maybe some sort of Metroid at launch. No thanks. Been there, done that. Plus maybe a few controller doodad specific games that I really don't want.

Even though you don't know what they are.

...Annnnnd... other console launches are mostly original IPs? There's like 2 games in the 360 lineup whose titles don't have a number in them.

To be fair, a new Metroid would have a 99% chance of being very much like Prime and Prime 2, which doesn't sound appealing to me at all.

See, this formula could be used for almost any game for any new/upcoming system.
