Why There’s More to The Wind Waker HD Than the Upgraded Visuals

"The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is undeniably one of the best looking games of all time. With a gorgeous palette of colours and an incredibly smooth style, it still holds up nearly ten years later. It’s a timeless piece of art backed up with an immense story, near-perfect level design and brilliantly flowing gameplay.

There’s no denying that a HD version was necessary to show off this game to its full potential, but was a remake really necessary? Couldn’t they have just fired it up to 1080p and released it on the Wii U eShop?"

I loved this game on the Cube and will get it again on the Wii U. To be honest this game combined with Pikmen 3 and the others is what I define as the start of the Wii U era.

So, Nintendo, why shouldn't I just up-res this in Dolphin?

"There's added functionality in Wind Waker HD!"

Really? Do tell!

"You can use the touchscreen as a Tingle-"

NO. STOP. YOU SAID THE MAGIC WORD OF NO.

They improved the pacing and mechanics.

You're not obligated to buy it. So why are you making a fuss out of it?

Well this isn't just an usual hd remake where they just up the texture resolution. Have you seen before and after picks? Way better. They even improved the game engine. Lighting and looks like global illumination has been added to.

It's fine, guys, I'm just ragging on the Tingle-related pitch, specifically what I heard at E3. I've got their 3DS revamp of OoT and they did an amazing job, I'm sure even the Tingle stuff will bring a Dark Souls-esque form of help to a lot of players.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga2d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas2d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
