That title...absolutely fantastic xD

ASTROID2 · (09-14-2013, 08:50 PM)

Yeah! Can't wait for this to come out. :D

I actually like WW, unlike every other Zelda game I've played.

Obviously this is too wishful of thinking, but a digital preorder/preload for this game would be sweet so I can play as soon as possible.

methodman · (09-14-2013, 08:54 PM)

Ah man cannot wait for this. So hyped

Luckily, it's tiny (less than 2GB). It'll finish downloading long before I wake up.

Heavy's Sandvich · (09-14-2013, 08:59 PM)

O is it less than 2gb?

I just about have enough room.

Neiteio · (09-14-2013, 09:00 PM)

No bloom reference? Really OP?

WW is my least favourite 3D Zelda game at the moment (only one I never finished), but I'm pretty excited about a lot of changes here so I'm very hyped. It is the most beautiful game in the series, regardless about my feelings on the rest of the game, so rendered in HD only makes that moreso the case. In my veins!

http://e3.nintendo.com/games/detail/...da-wind-waker/

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD features 1080p visuals that will immerse players in the game like never before.

PairOfFilthySocks · (09-14-2013, 09:04 PM)

...

No...just no...that's not what Wind Waker looks like.

EagleTwin · (09-14-2013, 09:04 PM)

Caaaaan't wait so I made something!

EatChildren · (09-14-2013, 09:05 PM)

Do want...eventually. Price is a bit too high for end of year gaming budget. In time it will be mine.

Actually there's tons of 1080p footage on youtube from various sources like gamexplain.

One example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t26rFm3UMM

The Dutch Slayer · (09-14-2013, 09:06 PM)

Will be playing this for the first time ever even though I have the GC CE but never played it.

Ordered the CE with statue.

If only Nindento of Yuropa had it in their hearts to do a early DD release I would dip so deep I'd end up with 3 copies :( But it is not to be. Got LE preorder from the UK and here in Sweden but will cancel the UK one when I can get confirmation from gamestop here I'm getting my copy.

Revolutionary · (09-14-2013, 09:11 PM)

Looking forward to picking this up on the eShop whenever I'm done with GTA. Really, really, really wish it was possible to toggle the bloom off though. :(

Edit: also, thread title is awful. Didn't most people vote for "I coveted that bloom I suppose"?

Iwata said it's 1080p during the E3 Direct. It's confirmed to be 1080p on the official site too.

There's also 1080p footage from the review copies .

The Dutch Slayer · (09-14-2013, 09:20 PM)

Hey @EagleTwin you do not sell that one anymore? just went to your site and I do not see that one for sale anymore to bad :O.

Wake · (09-14-2013, 09:22 PM)

Can we put the whole HUD in the gamepad?

Fudge GTA. Need a second playthrough for TW101 and need to finish Dead Space 3.

You can hide some of it by moving it to the GamePad, but not all of it.

plagiarize · (09-14-2013, 09:26 PM)

I have four games left on my backlog to clear before I will allow myself to buy this.

I fully plan on buying this come the 20th. COME AT ME BACKLOG.

Honestly, this game is everything. The only game I would like to see given this treatment more is Resident Evil 4.

I shall go back to the Great Sea.
I shall crest those waves and survive those storms once again.
I shall earn the right to wear the green of heroes.

This game makes me go a little crazy.

Thanks, I'm guessing hearts will remain at the top. I mostly wanted to move the button/inventory.

Hearts and I think Magic meter stay on the TV. Not 100% sure but that's what we've seen from videos.

Cool thanks. I'm getting this game twice. Digitally next week and the limited edition on the 4th. Finally my WiiU will start getting play time.

TheFLYINGManga_Ka · (09-14-2013, 09:56 PM)

I want this game eventually, but I'm not eager to play it for some reason. Maybe it's never been one of my favorite Zelda's in the series.

If it was TPHD I'd play it. TP looks so ugly on SD graphics that I'd replay it in HD. WW aged pretty well so I'm not as excited for a HD vers.

The Dutch Slayer · (09-14-2013, 10:03 PM)

Also you can't do it but I can link to your work.

EVERYONE who likes the print can get there own right here for a reasonable price! :)

LAA · (09-14-2013, 10:05 PM)

Is this coming to UK eShop next week?

Even if it is, I just saw on the eShop they're planning to sell it for £50!?
They better decrease it, otherwise, goodbye to yet another digital purchase from me, they're really not making it easy for anyone.

I thought Wind Waker was supposed to be cheaper than usual priced games...

samus4ever · (09-14-2013, 10:06 PM)

Never got to play Wind Waker on the GameCube so I can't wait. Downloading it because my schedule is swamped in October.

Scarl · (09-14-2013, 10:15 PM)

The lack of a "The" in the title bothers me for some reason, but that might just be me. :X

Anyway, have fun with this guys. I'll watch and cry until October in the meantime.

For some reason I thought it was around 2.5 GB. How big is it exactly?

Hopefully GameUK offer download codes for £34.99 ala Pikmin 3.

Then again Pikmin 3 & W101 were £39.99 on eShop, so it's strange that WWHD is £50.

It's apparently 1.7 GB.

Timeaisis · (09-14-2013, 10:20 PM)

I'm so excited for this. Definitely the most excited I've ever been for a re-release. Kinda sucks I have to be waiting patiently for the retail copy...gotta get that Ganondorf figure.

Take that fanboy defense system down. Thats why I hate talking with the Nintendo fanbase sometimes, its like you can have all their systems including virtual boy, post a video of you taking a tour through your nintendo inspired collection room, and STILL be labeled a troll when you critisize the company. Keep in mind that the company blames YOU when they do something stupid. At least thats what NOA does from what I understand.

Is this not the case with most fanbases? Why single out Nintendo fans?

Huh? That shot looks outstanding.

For some reason I thought the digital version would only be available early for people who get the console bundle, but it's early for anybody who wants it? brb getting an eShop card

Busaiku · (09-14-2013, 10:33 PM)

I'll probably wait till the 4th too.
I'm getting the physical regardless, just wasn't sure if I should also get the digital.
