　　What we heard: One of the most anticipated games of 2005 became one of the anticipated games of 2006 when Nintendo announced that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess would not make its holiday ship date. The postponing immediately caused many to begin speculating that Link's latest adventure would be coming to the Revolution, Nintendo's next-gen console expected to be released later this year. Such assumptions are partly true, given that the Revolution will be backward compatible. However, as recently as last month, Twilight Princess was still being demonstrated on the GameCube.

　　Nintendo originally stated that the delay was to "enrich the game," according to Perrin Kaplan, vice president of marketing and corporate affairs at Nintendo. The development team apparently requested extra time "to add new levels, more depth, and even higher quality to Zelda: Twilight Princess."

　　The January edition of gaming magazine NGC is reporting that "more depth" for Twilight Princess includes compatibility with the Revolution's controller, according to Gaming-Age.com. When inserted into a Revolution, the game will "unlock the ability to use the Revolution controller."

　　From a business perspective, it makes perfect sense for Nintendo to include some exclusive Revolution features for its highest-profile release in years. The extent of these possible features isn't clear, though. Could gamers be able to flick the Rev controller and see Link chuck his trusty boomerang or see the game in a higher resolution? Or will next-gen controller support be limited to smaller options such as fishing minigames or simple bare-bones compatibility with the controller and its D-pad extension?

　　The gaming public won't be finding out anytime soon, if Nintendo has its way. The company is notorious for having more secrets than the NSA, and a company rep would neither confirm nor deny that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess would have any next-gen bonuses.

　　Bogus or not bogus?: Though Revolution-exclusive features are likely not bogus, it's too early to tell if they're anything of consequence.
