GameCube timed exclusive
Is this category really warrented? How many of these exist? 3? Viewtiful Joe and Resident Evil 4 are the only games I can think of.--AlphaTwo 12:46, 1 October 2006 (PDT)


 * Well you're right, there aren't many games this could apply to for the GameCube. In fact, I can't think of a third off the top of my head either, though I think Killer7 was going to be timed exclusive for a while. However, when I thought of a gamecube timed exclusive category I also thought it might be nice to have timed exclusive categories for all the platforms. Some, of course, would have very little timed exclusives, others might have a bit more. Would it be better to have a general timed exclusive category, or should we just go with none at all? Also, a question, when a title gets a rerelease on a next gen system would that be considered timed exclusive as well? Say, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for SNES later ported to the GBA, or some of the Resident Evil games debuting on the PlayStation and later getting ported to newer consoles? -- Oddity 13:42, 1 October 2006 (PDT)


 * The former, we probably can, but I'm still uneasy to the whole idea. The latter: no, because it's just going to be way too much.--AlphaTwo 14:58, 1 October 2006 (PDT)


 * Forgive me for getting confused, but to make sure I understand you correctly, when you say the former are you speaking of the gamecube timed exclusive cat, and when you say the latter the general timed exclusive cat? -- Oddity 05:29, 2 October 2006 (PDT)


 * I guess I'm fine with a general category called "Timed Exclusive", but I'm against re-releases or ports on different platforms years after on different systems. I guess my definition of timed exclusive must stay within the same generation of platform and was announced at the time.  Something like Resident Evil 4, would be a timed exclusive, because a port was announced before the launch of the original title; But something like Resident Evil 2 would not, even though the Nintendo 64 version was in the same generation (the game was announced a year after the original was published).--AlphaTwo 11:22, 2 October 2006 (PDT)
