This looks like the best HD remake I've ever seen, in terms of improving over the original in terms of graphics.

360ICE4108d ago (Edited 4108d ago )

Isn't it also the first one to take a game from two generations ago? If you think of Wii U as next gen?

Picnic4108d ago

What about the HD version of the Saturn's Nights in to Dreams that I am reliably informed by the internet was released on the Playstation network and Xbox Live not long after late last year?

360ICE4108d ago

@Picnic
Well, that's from the Saturn.
Three generations :P

But yeah, in that sense it might challenge Zelda.

N4GDgAPc4108d ago

Yeah I got to agree. I'm hoping FF10 gets the same treatment. If thats the case I can see why its taking longer than expected.

Kran4108d ago

Not that I'm a MS fanboy or anything... but Halo?

Perjoss4108d ago

Good call, Anniversary was a great remake, I had totally forgotten about that, 343 really went to town with new models and new textures.

linkenski4108d ago

The characters look stuffed in the remake :/
I thought they could've captured the artstyle a bit better.

FlyingFoxy4108d ago

the characters seem to stand out over the backgrounds.. the moss/grass looks kinda flat.

looks cool though, it looks similar to Nintendoland

A7XEric4108d ago

In regards to the grass/moss, from what it looks like they aren't changing the games geometry. Just looks like a reskin with some lighting enhancements.

--Onilink--4108d ago

they kinda do, though i dont mind the new "rounded" style. Also we need to wait and see it in motion to get a better grasp of it. This is the type of graphical style that really shows its beauty in motion

HarryMasonHerpderp4108d ago (Edited 4108d ago )

The Gamecube is my favourite Nintendo console, brought us some amazing looking games and Wind Waker is one of the best. I'm really hoping the WiiU goes back to the GameCube days where they catered to the hardcore gamers.
Now release the Resident Evil remake in HD!

browngamer414108d ago

It's too bad people didn't think like you at the time. I loved my platinum Cube but most of my friends had moved on to Xbox while taking to calling my system a childs toy...bastards!lol

EddieNX 4108d ago

It just looks Beautiful. Imo Windwaker for the cube is one of the best looking games ever made with its completely timeless style. And this just looks a lot lot nicer. I for one really like the look of those new character models and think they will look awesome when they are animated.

I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.

Abear21172d ago

Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!

Abear21172d ago

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan171d ago

Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!

FinalFantasyFanatic171d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds171d ago

I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.

Petebloodyonion171d ago

Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?

Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.

Shane Kim171d ago

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.
