what's the point of this when the screens are sooooo small you can hardly see anything?

josephayal3870d ago

I like Zelda, but this new HD version looks no different

chadboban3870d ago

Watch this in HD and tell me if you still feel that way.

I've been watching HD since the release of Dolphin Emulator:D

_QQ_3869d ago

@kBO Yeah but some people want to legally play it and support the company,however if you own the game already then its fine.

chadboban3869d ago

@kB0

Sure, and let's compare every HD collection to emulation while we're at it.

Wind Waker HD is more than just a resolution bump.It not only adds new lighting, but new shaders and updated textures as well. Not to mention faster sailing, streamlined triforce hunt, hero mode unlocked from the start. faster animations for things like the grappling hook and getting sunken treasure, gyro controls for aiming, better UI and more.

kB03869d ago

I already own it for GC and soon for Wii.U.

I understand that but from the videos it just looks like Wind Waker on ecstasy.

Its very saturated and bloomed.

I do agree the new gameplay is definately awesome, gyro I can pass...

I'm simply saying that I'm not so wind waker deprived as others, and to be fair saving 50$ would've been ideal but I can't pass on a zelda lol.

Oh okay, that's cool then. I do think the price is bit steep. I do think the Collectors Edition is worth it for the Ganondorf figurine though.

Lol you're crazy. I initially thought "What could they do to make it look better? It's already beautiful because of being cell-shaded." Then I watched the comparison video and was blown away.

It's visually stunning, it's a remaster yet worthy of owning a Wii-U for. I was really blow away.

It looks MUCH better.

kB03869d ago (Edited 3869d ago )

Visually Stunning? I love the game as much as the next person and will prob get it no matter what...but it's not visually stunning... that word is thrown around way too much.

The game is just the Game cube version in HD with Bloom.

Anyway can see that.

Now what you can say is the Bloom compliments it really well and works well for the game.

Either way I'm excited for it, but coming from PC emulation it won't be as big a step up as others from GC version:D

What you can also justify is the gameplay improvements, then yes this is much better:)

FamilyGuy3869d ago (Edited 3869d ago )

"Bloom compliments it really well and works well for the game."

Yes, this exactly but they have also added some detail as well. It wasn't just raised in resolution. When you look at things like the ship or even dungeon walls you can clearly see more detail in some of the designs.

I wasn't expecting it to look much better so I was literally "stunned" by the "visual" upgrade, therefore it is "visually stunning".
This may not be the case for you but the average Joe out there, like myself, never played it in HD with the Dolphin emulator.

AbortMission3870d ago

Still not paying $50 for a 12 year old Gamecube game.

PopRocks3593869d ago (Edited 3869d ago )

It's not a port. It's an HD remake with new gameplay mechanics and features made from the ground up on the newer Zelda's engine.

vakarian753869d ago

Its supposed to be $40 but gamestop felt the demand for the game justified a $50 price tag.

Where Are The Wind Waker And Twilight Princess Switch Remasters At?

Nintendo is a weird company. It has the most illustrious legacy of any single company in the medium and seldom chooses to take advantage of that fact. Countless classics are confined to their original platforms or only available through outdated retail models or a cheeky bit of emulation.

I want a Twilight Princess HD for the Switch I would day one it right now.

GoodGuy09577d ago

This holiday would've been great and it would've calmed my hunger for tears of the kingdom. It supposedly exists but why has it taken this long I wonder. Here's hoping it still releases before totk, maybe a trailer at the game awards and a shadow drop.

Double_O_Revan577d ago

I wouldn't hope too hard. The Metroid Prime Trilogy or even just Prime 1 remaster supposedly exists and has been complete for several years now. Either Nintendo are evil bastards, or everyone claiming it's existence is full of shit. Frankly, I believe both scenarios to be true.

Immagaiden577d ago

Wii U was such a great to play every 3D Zelda game and various 2D ones as well

It'd be nice if Switch caught up to that wealth of legacy content

Inverno577d ago

Booted up WW HD through emulation on Deck. Forgot how much I like that game, it's so charming with how expressive Link is. Ninty has taken too long.

ZeekQuattro577d ago

Nintendo wants the focus on tears of the kingdom. Though with these year Zelda old rumors I question if the collection ever existed for the Switch. Much like the Prime Trilogy that evolved into a remake or remaster of just Prime 1 in recent months.

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07785d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad785d ago (Edited 785d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07785d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad785d ago (Edited 785d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212785d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX784d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX784d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
