Wind Waker HD Remake on the Wii U

[Ventus]

It seems Nintendo is remaking Wind Waker in HD on the Wii U, Now I like Wind Waker. But I wish we would stop getting remakes and a get a whole new game :/


Anyways here is some other screenshots of the game.

So... How does anyone feel about this?.

I myself feel that the game will be pretty gimmicky if it uses the Tablet Controller. But I guess I welcome the new control scheme... A tiny bit.

I've been trying to get a copy of the GC version forever (its one of the few zelda games I don't own along with the oracle series and four sword, also on gc) so this is kinda exciting for me. Plus it gives me more incentive to get a Wii U.

It sounds great but I hope it doesn't end up selling at the same price point as a new game. A nice $30 at most would be appreciated. I doubt that will be the case immediately. IGN is saying $50 as of right now.

Wow. I didn't expect Wind Waker to be remade, considering that it was highly speculated that either a Majora's Mast or A Link to the Past remake would be the next Zelda. I like how they flat-out admitted that this was being released to pass the time until the next Zelda is completed.

I like the new graphics, but they don't have the same cartoony charm as the original. :shrugs:

I dunno, I think the original still looks good. And I really would have prefered a Wii U remake of, say, Majora's Mask or something if we're going to get another remake at all. An original entry would have been more ideal, but I'm sure that's being worked on too.

If/when I ever get a Wii U, I may pick it up, provided it's not just a facelift. I'd be nice to see the cut dungeons included... At least a third pearl dungeon and maybe one more sage dungeon.

I'm wondering if the Tingle Tuner will be redesigned to use the Tablet Controller?

I would love to see more dungeons, I didn't think there was enough dungeons to begin with.

Hmm... It might. that'd be pretty cool. But I would imagine if the 3ds could interact with the Wii U the tingle tuner maybe used that way.
Though I don't really know.

Yeah I am guessing if the tingle tuner is included it'll use the gamepad. As for the 3DS interacting with the console, a recently filed patent for a special cartridge for the 3DS has the rumor mill saying Nintendo is planning on allowing the 3DS to be used as a gamepad in some way.

EDIT

Actually, in the Nintendo Direct thing, they were talking about how this remake came about when the team was trying to think of what an HD Zelda could look like. It hinted at the possibility of cooperative play, and in some of those screenshots, Tetra is beside Link. Maybe they're gonna allow a second person to control Tetra in some portions of the remake?

Hmm... Interesting, I wonder if the 3ds will be used as gamepad, and I wonder what other uses it will have?

A Co-Op Wind Waker... Hmm... That might be pretty cool. I wonder if they did do that I wonder what you'll have to do as Tetra... I guess shoot an arrow at Ganon?

DAMN IT NINTENDO YOU HAD ONE JOB. -ONE- JOB. OF ALL THE PRE-WII ZELDAS YOU PICKED WINDWAKER.


I'm done. I'll just wait until the Wii U is hacked sufficiently and pirate its entire library.
