Five Ways Zelda Wii U Can Kick Butt

Zelda Wii U is an inevitable creation that is presently being worked on by Eiji Aonuma and company over at Nintendo EAD. Sure, Zelda 3DS is also in the works over there, but Zelda Informer will touch more on that topic some other time. Rather, now that the Wii U is out Zelda Informer should address some things, five to be exact, that would make the next great console Zelda title totally kick copious amounts of butt.

Okay article, but Nintendo has already addressed some of this stuff. Retro is building the new game engine for Zelda and Metroid. The Zelda coming up is to be the "biggest most detailed game" Nintendo has ever done. So I can imagine its going to be a 50+hour game and very nice to look at. I bet Retro will develop Metroid, and Metroid on Wii Looked better than most 360 games its first 2 years out. So I can Also see Metroid on Wii U being AMAZING...

I hope (but also doubt) Retro would also develop the Zelda title alongside Metroid. I believe the game would've turned out way cooler than it would if it was developed by Nintendo Japan. Metroid Prime was feared among many Nintendo fans that the game would turn out a mediocre 2D to 3D leap for the franchise but Retro proven all of them wrong, with a game that far exceeded beyond their expectations.

Will they stick with the motion plus sword play or ditch it completely for the game pad?

stragomccloud4547d ago

I'd love motion plus, but have the gamepad setup for a dungeon map(Like Pikmin 3). I don't know why that was removed from the hud in Skyward Sword, but it really bothered me.

ahronith4546d ago

I believe most Wii U games will have multiple control setups depending what you prefer...Gamepad, CCP, Wiimote. And soon the Power Glove 2, lol j/k

If it turns out good enough I will MAYBE pick up a Wii U just for this game. But this MAYBE is a loooooonnnnnng stretch.

stragomccloud4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

I really hope they stick with the water color style. I absolutely loved it! I remember a number of months back Retro was posting jobs for someone to make hand painted textures. Perhaps it's for a Zelda engine?

I bet Nintendo won't release any triple A games until Ps4 and 720 are around the corner.

Why Dark Souls 2 Deserves a Second Chance in 2025

As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

PrimeVinister7d ago

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

MrWood7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

jznrpg7d ago

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others

Shadow Man6d ago

The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7710d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
