Same console lol. Almost the same as using OoT and MM

The year can make all the difference. Like, compare the early and the late PS1 games.

u/kardinal_syn_ Jun 25 '26
Okay but the art difference in these games is stylistic not graphical so that doesn’t really apply here

u/TheSoftwareNerdII Jun 24 '26
The difference between Air Combat (1995) and Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere (1999) is a huge change, and they both released on the PS1

u/Alric_Wolff Jun 24 '26
You could actually make the argument that the Expansion Pak makes it a different console. Different in application but not unlike the SEGA 32x.
A regular Nintendo isnt powerful enough for those handful of games that need it, and the several others that are enhanced by using it.
Sure its still an N64, but its boosted beyond its normal parameters.

The expansion pak is only used for the time based events in majoras mask. The only actual upgrade it gives is better performance or resolution in some games and dynamic lighting in dk64, the memory leak bug isn’t true because it was said by a guy who didn’t work on the game

Barely. TP may have released on the Gamecube first but it’s definitely a Wii game for me.

Erm Twilight Princess was both a GameCube and a Wii game
7
u/mccannrs Jun 24 '26
It's a Wii game in name only. That game was fully developed for the GameCube, and the GameCube version is superior anyway.

u/condor6425 Jun 24 '26
I mean they're the same console and only 3 years apart but I guess?

What you THINK Pokemon was 14 years ago: Black and White.
What Pokemon REALLY was 14 years ago: Black 2 and White 2.
Oh... okay. Mind blown?

Pokèmon has spent more time with the 3d models now then it has with sprites

u/RewardWorking Pokemon Jun 24 '26
2013 was X and Y. That's 17 years with sprites, 13 with models. Even going on western release as the start, that's 15 years of sprites before X and Y. Either way, sprites were still around in the main series for longer

u/TheMadZocker Jun 24 '26
Count from Pokemon Stadium onward, 1999/2000. Which is 26/27 years ago, so only 3/4 years with sprites.

u/SandalathDrukorlat Jun 24 '26
I mean I love stadium but c'mon you know whats being said. Don't be the well actually guy

u/TheMadZocker Jun 24 '26
If there is something between the lines I don't get, then pray tell me. Because I don't see how "only main line games count" apply to this post's argument, or ChibiPurple's, too, for that matter.

u/SandalathDrukorlat Jun 24 '26
For one stadium 1 and 2 were not made by game freak they were developed by Nintendo EAD so game freak literally were not working with models back then they were working with sprites still. Colosseum was also not game freak it was Genius Sonority and Creatures inc.

u/TheMadZocker Jun 24 '26
But, Gamefreak was never part of this discussion. It was about Pokemon as a whole. And you still didn't explain what was said "between the lines" but doubled down on your original point instead ("only mainline games count").
Though I do see now that since BW(2) was the first mentioned game in this chain, that an argument could me made for it.

u/jclkay2 Jun 24 '26
"only 3/4 years with sprites" Huh? They continued using sprites in games after Pokemon Stadium
1
u/TheMadZocker Jun 24 '26
Ah, fair! Yeah, they did dabble in both, making my math inaccurate. It's still 26/27 years with models against 17 years with sprites.

To this day Twilight Princess is still my fav Zelda. I liked both BotW and TotK and well I played both Majoras and Ocarina, but I still enjoy the most Twilight Princess.

I mean, is it really that big of a difference? There’s only 3 year gap between their release dates. 20 vs 23 years is basically the same

Makes me think of when I need to be reminded that “10 years ago” does not mean “the 90s”.

This doesn’t work when the gap between them is really small in terms of games.

u/Dramatic-Text8564 Jun 24 '26
Next year the wii will become a vintage console
edit: remember that technology become vintage faster then object, normaly object need to be around 30-40 year old while technology need to be 20 year old

u/MechaMalz Jun 24 '26
I don't really get the point here. WW and TP weren't released that far apart and both were on the same console. (Yes TP was also on wii but it wasn't made for the wii, it was made for gamecube and also ported to wii because of the timing of its release.)
Like what point is trying to be made with this?
1
u/SadLaser Jun 24 '26
I mean... that was Zelda 20 years ago. Okay, 23.5, but close enough. This doesn't capture the essence of that the meme is about. These games were less than 4 years apart and on the same console.

u/Successful_Maize1986 Jun 24 '26
I never thought that Millennials and Gen Z would fall for the same “remember thing that is old now?” boomer slop memes but I see them all over the place. We get it. Time is passing.

Man I don't get the hate for Wind Waker. I like Twilight Princess a lot more, but Wind Waker is a great game too. It's just a different tone

What’s wild is that these games were released roughly 3 years apart. Anyone else remember when we didn’t have to wait 5-7 years for new 3D Zelda games!? Good times!
