How can people consider Twilight Princess a port when it released on Wii first?
|
It was built for the GC first.
|
So were Super Paper Mario and DK Bongo Blast. Are those ports too then?

You're splitting hairs. Twilight Princess has Gamecube limitations in graphics and space. All it has different are the Wii controls. It was made for the Gamecube first, though they decided to release it on Wii first but still released both eventually (unlike Super Paper Mario which ended up a Wii-only game). It is the same kind of port as Okami, the only difference is they released the port FIRST in the case of Twilight Princess. The Wii Twilight Princess became the port the moment they started working on it since the Gamecube Twilight Princess was already pretty much done at that point. It's just a port that was released before the original itself. So truthfully, the Wii TP is the real port. Twilight Princess is a gamecube game.

Gamecube limitations in graphics and space? The exact same thing apples to SPM and DKBB, they're almost identical situations except the GCN versions never released. SPM is only 400MB even, DKBB is 700MB.
TP wasn't finished before the Wii version was greenlit either, and the game went through a few overhauls while it was being co-developed on GCN/Wii. The base might've been GCN code, but both versions were developed in tandem, and if GCN code is enough to warrant a "port" label, than it also applies to SPM, DKBB and likely some other early Wii games. The Wii version released first though, and as such it should really be classed as a Wii game imo.
