NWR:
Lessons the Wii U game can learn from its predecessors.
It has been quite a while since the last, new console Legend of Zelda game was released. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword graced Nintendo Wii consoles around the world in November of 2011, and we’ve been waiting for its successor ever since. And while Nintendo lifted the lid on the Wii U’s Zelda game at E3 2014, we still know very little about the game outside of the fact that it is going to be “open world,” or whatever Nintendo’s version of that is. Other minor details can be gleaned from the two snippets of gameplay Nintendo has shown us thus far, but nothing that really gives us a good idea of what to expect when the title is (eventually) released.
Want to play nearly every single Zelda game on one Nintendo console? Well you can, but it involves getting hold of a Wii U.
Not sure why you got downvoted when you are right on the money... You got the NES game, Super Metroid, the two GBA games (Fusion and Zero Mission) Metroid Prime Hunters (story mode only) and the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Other M on backwards compatibility or digital download. If you like or want to get into Metroid, that's the system to get.
@proxy, I can only speak for myself but I vote based on the comment a person makes, not the person saying it. Others on this site seem like they hold a grudge and vote against a person no matter what.
Or a moderately recent PC, CEMU is amazing. Even a 1050 can emulate the games at a higher res than the Wii U :)
Cemu, like almost every emulator, is CPU bound. My 750ti was enough to beat BotW at 1080p/30 with greatly enhanced textures and shaders.
Yeah, luckily you don't need a crazy CPU anymore to run it. If you're trying to exceed the default framerates of games like in Botw you need a beefy CPU, but very few games have fps unlock mods. So a decent quad core does the job :) the best part is playing games like MK8, Pikmin 3, etc at 4K. The art styles are so clean and crisp and hold up great!
No you just need this https://cemu.info/ and the roms. It will look so much better on the PC even in 4K, you can even use reshade to make it look even better. How about a little ray tracing to 😁 https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Yup I you can even play A Link btw Worlds and upscale OoT 3D and MM 3D :). Only reason I still play Zelda on Switch / 3DS is for portability.
What are the best Legend of Zelda supporting characters? Todd, Tyler, and Will from the Nintendo Entertainment Podcast discuss!

Well, Aklar_45 has recreated that tech demo in Unreal Engine 4, and has released it to the public. So yeah, while Wii U and Switch owners won't get a Zelda game looking as good as that tech demo, PC gamers can at least get a taste of it."
I do agree but I would not be surprised if Nintendo puts out a takedown notice on the video/tech demo

For me, its very late for a Zelda on Wii U. They did the same error for Wii and Gamecube. Skyward Sword and Twlight Princess came at the end of their console lives.
I still remember Snes and N64 Zelda games which came out 1-2 years after the release of the console.
Nintendo had to release the new Zelda game on the new platform in my opinion. Or.....a release till Summer 2016 for Wii U. Later will be a disaster.
I want to play a new Zelda game. But that's the only reason I would buy a WiiU. And I honestly don't think I can justify buying a WiiU this far out in it's life cycle for one game.
Especially when rumors have it that NX is coming 2016/2017.
So tho it will anger allot of WiiU owners I hope they cancel it for WiiU and makes it a launch title for NX.
Since the NX will likely be backwards compatible with the Wii U, it doesn't matter when it comes so long as it does come.
As for those complaining about the library of the system; there's more than just Zelda that's worthwhile on it by now, if you'd all open your eyes and search a bit instead of saying "No third party AAA multiplats, no interest".
But I digress, so anyways; My main concern for the game is that it'll repeat the one big flaw that both Twilight Princess and Wind Waker share; too much traveling space with not enough highly interesting things to do or see in those spaces.
In Wind Waker you could avoid a few sharks and do some sailing over barrels for rupees, and in TP, you got to do a bit of combat from time to time.
Other than that, traveling over those vast open areas was pretty uneventful unless you were on a side-quest hunt for little baubles, like the Submarines in Wind Waker or the Golden Bugs in TP.
If they can make Zelda U huge while making it interesting to explore through making the environments beautiful and interesting to witness, like they're doing with Xenoblade X, then Zelda U will easily take the crown as one of the best Zelda games ever; I can't honestly recall a 3D Zelda where sight-seeing was one of the best parts of it outside of dungeons and fighting.
It'd be cool to see a Zelda that can also be just as good in beautiful scenery to explore as Xenoblade X.
Just put it on the NX. I'd get the NX if it has this Zelda on it
