I have a question that hopefully you can answer, Twilight Rockstar. Do you get to play as Wolf Link quite a bit? Or is he only a small part of the game?

That doesn't really settle it. If you set the AR to 16:9 and play it on a 4:3 tv, you may just get a squished picture, like if you had an anamorphic dvd picture set to 16:9 on a 4:3 tv. Unless Nintendo made it so that if you choose the 16:9 option and has it so that it just becomes letterboxed on a 4:3 set, which would be nice. I'm doubtful of that being the case, however...

" I doubt it. The games are identical so we'll cover the Wii version (the superior version asa we're concerned) and tell you about the differences within the review.

OK, glad to hear that you're not forced to play letterboxed on a 4:3 TV. I assume since you set up progressive scan/interlaced through the same menu you can also play the game at 480p on a 4:3 TV too?
Oh, and Twilight, one simple question which I never could find an answer on--can you fight without using Z-targeting (i.e. just waving around the remote to slash in whatever direction Link is facing)? Thanks.

Not surprised at the non-existant orchestrated soundtrack, but I can understand. It's expensive(although Nintendo could've easily used an ensemble + high quality synths instead if that was the problem, like SotC and many other games), and the game was designed for the Gamecube(although I hear they do wonders with compression these days /sarcasm). What I don't understand is the same low quality piece of shit instrumentation in the game's music. I've heard PS1 games with better samples. It's Nintendo just being lazy, really. The sound programmer, at least.
And is there really no camera control at all in the Wii version?

Midi is actually capable of sounding pretty amazing and authentic. This is the Overture from The Magic Flute done entirely in midi, on a $250, less than pro-sumer level program.
Magic Flute
The problem is this quality of sound file, like authentic audio recordings of an orchestra, take up a lot of space. While it probably would fit on a Wii disk, Nintendo obviously created the music with the constraints of the GC disk in mind, then ported it over. I agree that's unfortunate, but I won't stand here and listen to people dismiss midi as universally bad, when it can actually be pretty great.
A true blue orchestrated soundtrack is always gonna sound better provided the sound quality is good, in nearly every case... so while Midi can be 'pretty good' quality or whatever, and talented individuals can do some great stuff with it, it's always not gonna be preferable to a real orchestrated set.
what the hell? From the videos I've seen, the midi quality is great. It's not quite on the level of, say, FEjett said:Not surprised at the non-existant orchestrated soundtrack, but I can understand.

oR, but it's still far above average in terms of sound quality. And that's ignoring the compositions themselves.

I guess the guys in the US may have something more on Friday

Sounds average at best to me, pretty much of the same technicaly quality as Wind Waker.

music is awesome

I...did? For one, Zelda:TP's midi does not sound as high quality as what you presented so it's a moot point. For another, the point was not whether you can get pretty good stuff out of midi... it's that high quality midi will never be as good as high quality orchestration. And as I have ears, I can easily distinguish the difference and it's important to me. I realize games have massive soundtracks in this day and age and it's not feasible to orchestrate every little thing, but I mean for something you'll hear often for the entire game like the overworld I thought Nintendo would finally put forth the effort!
Guess not, though.
Anyway I don't mean to derail the thread with "pointless bitching", because this does not reflect on Zelda:TP which is gonna be awesome either way. It's just a legitimate disappointment I have about this, given what they could have done.

Haha, I care because I believe GAF would implode if you switched Zelda allegiances and I would love to see it.

I think gamewatch managed to spoil so much, but we'll never know it until we play it.
