Big news from the world of Nintendo!
On launch day for the Nintendo Wii, there will be two Twilight Princess releases. First, the Wii's version, obviously a souped up version to test the limits of their graphics processors. AND!!!! A GCN version for those who wish to play it without having to shell out cash for the Wii.

For the fun of it, and because Rama demands it (yeah, slave labor at its finest!), I'm bringing you an update to The Nintendo Revolution. If you're a bit slow on the uptake, or just lazy, the announcement has been made, and it's official. The Revolution has been given a name, and it is "Wii".
