Nintendo GameCube was released in Japan 20 years ago today.

    This is the only older system still hooked up at my house. The Gameboy Player attachment added all gameboy games through the Advance to the system’s library. Thanks to snes ports, a Collector’s Edition disc, etc, you could play every Nintendo Zelda game ever released at the time on it, up to and including Twilight Princess.

      up to and including Twilight Princess.

      And I believe the GC version of that game was the intended one, right? I think I remember that they tacked on Wii support later on.

        Yup. And the wii version is a mirrored playthrough, compared to the Gamecube version. Link is typically left-handed. To make him right-handed for wiimote-users, the quickest solution was to flip the whole darn world about its y axis.

          Would have been cooler to just force them to play left-handed.

            Sure, or at least leave the original layout as a lefty option. Switch it up to your off-hand on the second playthrough for Hero Mode.
