The guys over at Dustinsoftware.com have discovered a glitch in the Nintendo Wii version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that could prevent you from finishing the game. They created the above video of the glitch at work.
They discovered that after the player saves in the room with the big cannon that Link is unable to warp the cannon out of the room because the game claims a man is watching you still, but if you look around no one is there. If you try to leave the room, the man appears at the door and won't let you leave. You're stuck. You can't leave and you can't progress the storyline.
So for those playing Twilight Princess right now, don't save in the cannon room.

Before you say it , yes I know an RPG/adventure has a lot more chances to have a bug due to its complexity, still DAMN IT! this is a gamekiller bug! this shouldnt have passed through beta testing.
I sincerely hope they are releasing a patch.
As for being game breaking. Hardly. If you're playing through on only 1 save, learn2rpg. It's all about using all 3 slots to leapfrog through. This is just about as game breaking as the original Zelda save files getting corrupt, except now we can copy the saves as much as we want, and can even back up saves on SD cards, and... well... you get the point.
Heheh
I've said before that I'm a pretty big Nintendo fanboy, but COME ON PEOPLE. Don't defend them when something like this comes up.
but then he went away again, maybe it had to do with gameshark we'll never know
Sadly, this isn't really the case here. If you were playing normally and didn't save in this room, all you have to do is talk to the dude to walk out of the room (which happens here) and then proceed to warp. I would think that if he hides right next to the wall by the door he might avoid LOS by the guy and be able to transform out. But perhaps not. It's a real shame for this to happen in this room, as it's rather far into the game.
It does raise the interesting question of patches though. With only 512mb is Nintendo going to release them for bugs like this? Do we really want to load up games and then grab patches (or worse, play through a buggy game and then see a patch released a week later).
Perhaps some autosave at fixed points would be a better idea, it should reduce the memory overhead by being at a fixed point and allow better bug testing should something crop up like this.
I just really don't want to be patching games on consoles <evil eyes at MS>
QFE.
Cheers!
Seriously, they delayed the game so much, I figured it would be near perfect.
Sigh...
I still swear I got a glitch in Wind Waker when you had to catch the guy posting the letter. Couldn't get that working and then gave away my GC and games to my Nephew so didn't ever figure it out.
As avoidable as it is, not everyone reads forums like this, so the few people out there that actually do make the mistake of saving and exiting in that room are going to be angry angry gamers!
I save over all three slots and interchange between them regularly... but still... I'm feeling the pain and anguish!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. What world do you live in that bugs are inexcusable?
And about the bug thing at hyrule late..um, perhaps those bugs arent collectable and just random bugs flying around? they do have bugs that are just in the game for look.
Bugs will ALWAYS happen. I have no idea what platform you game on but every platform I've ever gamed on has had some bugs.
You say they are inexcusable, I say they are unavoidable.
And in a case like this where the bug is only visible if you do certain things just right, I don't think it's a big deal. Obviously, it sucks for the guy who finds it but thats always the case with bugs.
I expect a company to do its best to avoid bugs and if its a universal bug that effects everyone or damages the experience in a way that is not avoidable by the user, I'll expect a fix.
In a case like this, I think a public announcement from Nintendo that you should NOT save in that particular room would be plenty, along with fixing it in future releases.
An update is totally unnecessary and in fact, I HATE the idea up update/patches on consoles. If you assume games can be and will be patched then developers will take advantage of that and start releasing unfinished games. It's already happening and this to me is MUCH more inexcusable than the occasional bug.
Thats just my opinion.
You know what friend? I think you're OK.
