Europe's eShop Update Links To A Past Zelda On Wii U

Wii U owners in Europe can revisit a truly classic Zelda when CD-i great Link: The Faces of Evil arrives on the eShop later this week.

For a second there, I thought they really were going to release the CD-i version(s). That would have been hilarious.

That being said, I will definitely pay the $1.50 to upgrade my Wii VC download of A Link to the Past to the Wii U VC.

XiSasukeUchiha3780d ago

Nice, i would enjoy that all day, everyday

dieforgame3780d ago

Hard to pay $8 for an emulation when I still own a working cartridge and SNES lol.

swice3780d ago

Your tune will change when you start becoming lazy

GordonKnight3780d ago

I thought the same thing until I realized that the gamepad is awesome for the SNES classics. Now I want all my VC games on the Wii U. I got Earthbound for Wii U VC even though I have the original cart and I must say the Gamepad is the perfect retro game console. Only if Nintendo would release more games faster.

XXXL3780d ago

I agree. Nintendo releasing them at this rate is ridiculous.

user95970823780d ago

I know right? Considering that they only released 20 n64 games in six years of Wii, there's unfortunately not much reason to get your hopes up.

Takwin3780d ago

Give us more SNES and Gamecube titles.

Market the shit out of:
1. Cheaper by $100-$200 dollars
2. No yearly online fee
3. Only one with games backwards compatibility
4. Only one with controllers backwards compatibility
5. Off-TV play out of the box
6. VC titles for nostalgic fun
7. 10+ AAAA amazing exclusives by end of 2014

"Zelda CDI games, you want it?"

I am a huge Zelda fan and love them all, but for me Ocarina Of Time is the greatest and my second all time favourite game after Final Fantasy VII.

LoveSpuds604d ago (Edited 604d ago )

You sir, have good taste in games :)

I also love all of the Zelda games but I adore Windwaker (Specifically the HD version on WiiU) most of all. It is a close run thing with Breath of the Wild though.

Special mention to Cadence of Hyrule too, what an awesome spin off title that was!

GaboonViper603d ago

Cheers Spuds, yep i love Windwaker too, beautiful artstyle, and i loved sailing and finding all the secrets out there.

blackbeld603d ago

Agreed. For me top 3 of all time is.

1. ocarina of time
2. Final fantasy Vll
3. MGS1

GaboonViper603d ago

Brilliant top 3, would love a MGS1 remake that has been rumoured.

LoveSpuds603d ago

Yup, hard to argue with that top 3 squire, some quality games right there!

-Foxtrot605d ago

Oh gee can't imagine what Number 1 is

....

A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker etc is better than Breath of the Wild.

lockedongamer1605d ago

I respectfully disagree, but they're all great games.

porkChop604d ago

I think it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a traditional Zelda game then OoT or WW would be better to you. But if you want a Zelda game that really leans into adventure and exploration, and if you want intelligent systems/logic, BotW would be the better game.

I enjoy both. I understand why some people aren't fond of it but for me it was a breath of fresh air that I really needed. I'd become so burnt out on unimaginative games and BotW sort of made me appreciate games again, as weird as that may sound.

godofboobees604d ago

Those are not traditional Zelda games

Crows90603d ago

Right...so let's pretend ocarina of time didnt have exploration, secret dungeons and other secrets. Complex boss mechanics and exploration rewards. At least a traditional Zelda has dungeons.

porkChop603d ago

What point are you attempting to make? At no point did I say that OoT didn't have any of that. However, the level of exploration and sense of adventure are vastly different between OoT and BotW.

Brazz604d ago

Breath of the Wild is overrated as shot, Wind waker is much better.

P_Bomb604d ago

I’m a Link to the Past guy.

MadLad604d ago

Majora's Mask still holds as my favorite to this day, despite being the black sheep of the series.

pietro1212604d ago

I love them all, but Wind Walker, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are my favorites

John_McClane603d ago

Link to the Past was so, so good! Those chickens though! 🤣
