The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker U coming this fall.

[QUOTE="nameless12345"]

[QUOTE="Heirren"] You're really comparing Majoras Mask, a completely new zelda, to Windwaker U--an hd remake?Heirren

Majora was not so "new".

It used a lot of the same assets as Ocarina did.

There's even some similar locations and characters in it.

What was new was the plot, time-based gameplay and new locations/dungeons and characters/enemies/bosses.

Yes, it was a new game, but it was made out of the extra content for Ocarina they didn't manage to stuff in the cartridge.

With this WW remake, they could include the dungeons they had to cut out of the original game due to time constrains and enhance it in various other ways making it feel like basically a new game and worth buying for owners of the original game.

It can turn out much like REmake on the GC was which also felt like basically a new game compare to the original RE.

It plays different because of the masks and time-rewinding/slowing down.

But the core gameplay mechanics are the same.

WWU will be a remake but like I stated above it could feel "new" due to the various improvements and content.

I got your HD Wind Waker right here:

Timstuff

funny thing is it looks way better than the actual HD port. In the HD port Nintendo butchered the art-style.Textures look really ugly and character models look like plastic dolls; the only thing superior is the lighting.

I'm not sure I liked WW enough to rebuy it. However I'm not gonna lie that sailing in HD will be nice to look at.

I don't think you understand the progression of the 3D Mario series.

It'll be neither. New system, new style.

[QUOTE="Heirren"]Yeah, no. Majoras Mask is nothing like Ocarina. It plays out completely different. Windwaker U is just a new coat of paint. nameless12345

Majora's Mask is a completely new game. Just because it reuses sprites and adapts the old game engine doesn't mean that it is a rehash (the game engine has some big changes too btw). It is extremely different than Ocarina in so many ways. The gameplay style is completely different. The atmosphere and tone are completely different. The challenge level is different. Hell, the dungeons, items, item placement, and environments are new. Not only that but Majora's Mask was a significant graphical upgrade in the textures, since it needed the texture expansion module.

WWU will likely be like Ocarina of Time 3DS. There will be many improvements and some new things, but there will be no mystery for anyone who has played it before. Much of the game will be going through the motions, and all the improvements will eventually feel superficial. Again, nothing like Majora's Mask, which was a new adventure with a whole new kind of experience.

Second system in a row Nintendo rehashes an old Zelda game with mildly improved graphics - they got nothin', man. Feel bad for you early adopters if you're under 15; anyone over 15 buying Nintendo products get what they deserve...

You understand that people can see that you're letting one single remake get in the way of you recognizing The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D, Mario Kart U, Super Smash Bros 4, X by Monolith, Yarn Yoshi, Game & Wario, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Shin Megami x Fire Emblem and all the other games they talked about during the presentation?

I understand if you don't like any of those games, they aren't everyone's cup of tea. But to say 'they got nothin' man' shows how unattentive you are. Even if its 'nothin' to you, most people would understand that it is certainly 'something' to a lot of people.

What is that really? A modded PC emulation of the original?

I don't think you understand the progression of the 3D Mario series.

It'll be neither. New system, new style.

The game will be closer to Galaxy in terms of game design, than SM64 or Sunshine, in that it'll be a pure platformer / obstacle course based, not exploration/mission based.

But it'll probably revolve around a new "gimmick", not be as dependent on gravity as the Galaxy games.

I want to say "new setting" too in that it won't be taking place in space, but we all know it'll be some kind of hub or world map leading to fire / water / etc. levels. It won't have an overarching theme like Sunshine which was purely based on the idea of a tropical island, that's too narrow and limiting.

So yeah it'll basically be Galaxy 3, but with a new twist.

Wait wait WAIT

This is actually real?

:lol: all they did was add excessive bloom and lighting!! HAHAHAHA

Looks amazing and one of my favorite Gamecube games ever.

parkurtommo

Yeah I thought it was fake at first too, that someone took a Dolphin screen and added excessive bloom :P

Is it just me that preferred the Gamecube style than WiiU style in the screenshot?

The WiiU version is somehow lacks the magic Gamecube version has, it looks generic in my opinion

And for the 59,99$ for old remake, Nintendo sure has gone low....

This is why I'm buying a Wii U this year. Wind Waker is a great game that was underappreciated.

ihsanqueen

Agreed! In my opinion, Wind Waker has one of the best styles out of any Zelda game, so I don't see what the dramatic visual change is all about. :C

Would have preferred Majora's Mask HD, but this was still a great surprise.

Now hopefully they'll add some new content to the game.

I hope it will be 1080p, seeing as how it's a gamecube game it shouldn't require that much of the WiiU hardware. 720p would be disappointing.

Hmm this is strange, I now have the sudden urge to to buy a Wii U.

R4gn4r0k

Aren't they remaking it from the ground up?charizard1605

I still want it in 1080p

They update it by just increasing the resolution, nothing else - "Typical lazy nintendo, the fans will buy anything" "Is this it? Could have put more effort in nintendo" They update the visuals substantially, add more content - "Why did the change the graphics? I prefer the old look :(" People need to get a grip. It looks absolutely fantastic, and if you didn't like the game first time around, chances are you wont like it now. I genuinely hate most videogame fans. Moaning and whining no matter what they're givenbellsmye1

I don't get the hate for this either, it looks great and I will definitely be buying a Wii U for it. It does look a little too bright, but aside from that it looks amazing. And it's till early so they will fix the brightness a bit later.

Agreed. I really want to see what Dragon Roost Island looks like, that place had such awesome music too.

I still don't get the hate though, it's probably because the Wii U is now getting some great games and it's making the fanboys jelly.

Wind Waker was under appreciated in my eyes. Most people that bashed it didn't even play it, they just looked at it and said "oh it looks like a cartoon, it must suck then" but those people missed out. The game was amazing and the visuals were actually pleasent once you got used to them (though I do prefer a mature Link).

[QUOTE="runbleduck"]$59.99 and non-true HD at <= 720psuper600

Who the hell cares.

Imagine if the first big game for Next Box and PS 4 was a remake of Morrowind and it was full price. Would be cool for some but a big letdown for most.

Though I don't doubt it will be $60 and I'd gladly pay for it can you please give me a link to Nintendo confirming a $60 price? Or a retailer listing?

A remake that looks mediocre of an old game we have played 200 hours is a megaton ?

Then what would you call an actual new Zelda ?

[QUOTE="super600"]

[QUOTE="runbleduck"]$59.99 and non-true HD at <= 720pCranler

Who the hell cares.

Says you.

We also don't have a price on this one yet guys. It isn't priced yet, not even showing up at retailers as of today.

Even so, Anniversary didn't have its own multiplayer mode so you were being charged $40 for story mode. It used Reach's multiplayer with Anniversary maps re-done. So they took an existing engine and slapped in old maps. I even rented Annivesary the day it came out, took the Reach Anniversar map pack code from the rental, downloaded the map pack and returned Anniversary and simply played all those maps in Reach. A major reason why Annivesary was $40 was because it was piggy-backing off another recently released game

Wind Waker HD at least created a new engine, and redid resolutions, textures and other assets for the entire 30-50 hour single-player story mode and some new content is being promised.

Just pointing those out.

They really couldn't have done anything else with the graphic. If they just upscaled it to 1080p, people would claim that it's a lazy port.

I'm not extremely fond of the new art design but it looks pretty good.

Still have my GC and Wind Waker copy. Graphics are pretty but they already were.

WW is a 3D game already, with cell shading

Trying to make it look rendered is a totally different approach and the new one looks nothing like the old one
