I was thinking of holding off on Wind Waker HD since I've already played it buuuuut kind of reconsidering now.

 

[kittens]

Wait, is there not a NA release date for Wind Waker HD yet? That's weird. October is only a little over a month away.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

No recovery hearts is a deal-breaker.

Too often the harder difficulty mode is too hard, or the difficulty is increased just by more damage being dealt or something like that.

 

[Jonboy]

Video doesn't seem to be working anymore...

EDIT:

Damn, I've got a copyright complaint from NoA because of the video.
Lol at Youtube showing you a Happy Tree Friends clip to explain it to you.

Well, D-e-f, maybe link this video instead: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x13kj2c_videogames

Ah! Thank you.

 

[daripad]

I want that console, will fit well with my Zelda 3DS. I need money!!!!!!!!!

Well you have to cencentrate more, so like the challenge.

 

[Coolwhip]

Give me a white wii u with a subtle triforce somewhere Nintendo. Then I will buy it.

 

[godofcookery]

I'm happy with my Wii U Famicom faceplate:

where to get?

 

[cafemomo]

Might get this come black friday.

Although that gamepad looks ugly

 

[Bulbasaur]

If they do it for the roughly the same price, then they could have a wiener.

 

[DeafSnake13]

Definitely buying this.

 

[Papercuts]

I think it's funny how they seemingly did nothing to the actual console.

 

[Chanser]

where to get?

[friskykillface]

can't even add a triforce to the console , smh
the gamepad looks ok but I need more gold.

hmmmmm might be tempted if it rereleases on black Friday


hero mode from the start is a nice addition , thanks Nintendo

 

[chrono01]

where to get?

I ordered mine from AmiAmi. They're amazing.

[Twilight Princess]

To a certain extent (though it might depend on the time of day in this screenshot, not sure):

that tree still looks ugly as ever, can't they use a better model?

 

[timetokill]

Wind Waker is probably the easiest game in the entire series. Mid-way through the game you'll be talking 10 hits before you die. that's plenty.

Besides, you can always get Grandma's soup, which hey, will finally be useful for once.

 

[Oni Link 666]

It seems weird to me that they didn't go for Mario or Donkey Kong bundles instead. I think Tropical Freeze and 3D World will be the games people will be buying the system to play this Holiday.

 

[FSLink]

It seems weird to me that they didn't go for Mario or Donkey Kong bundles instead. I think Tropical Freeze and 3D World will be the games people will be buying the system to play this Holiday.

Well I'm sure if those were to be announced, they'd likely do it closer to their release dates or around Black Friday/Christmas.

DAY ONE!!!!!!!1111

 

[jnWake]

Maybe they will... This is probably to get the Zelda hardcore fans that haven't bought the Wii U yet.

 

[Thoraxes]

Hero mode from the start is just awesome. I'm glad they seemed to have listened on this one. I never actually finished the whole game cause of the triforce quest, so it'll be nice to revisit in 1080p.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Well I'm sure if those were to be announced, they'd likely do it closer to their release dates or around Black Friday/Christmas.

I hope they don't announce a Zelda LBW 3DS now. I bought a new black XL after hearing rumors of the bundles weeks ago and thought I was in the clear. The rumor said this bundle and Pokemon X & Y XL bundles were coming.

 

[Aaron Strife]

It seems weird to me that they didn't go for Mario or Donkey Kong bundles instead. I think Tropical Freeze and 3D World will be the games people will be buying the system to play this Holiday.

I'm guessing Nintendo put more money and resources into Mario and DK that they wouldn't want to sell them as pack-ins, whereas whatever boost WWHD will have on hardware sales will far outweigh whatever profit they lose by not being able to sell it separately to certain customers.

 

[D-e-f-]

Likely =/= hardly (and I only used that word because obviously I don't have proof). But I would expect any journalist to ask for that information rather than check Amazon.com. I mean, they were at a preview event, it's kind of silly to think they wouldn't ask that info as a standard

Journalist?

 

[NIGHT-]

It got you too huh lol

I was tempted to get either Xbox one or ps4 this winter. But the 3ds/Wii U/PC route is the best for my taste. I'll get the others next year.

 

[HeySeuss]

So with soup and the Fairee fountains, no recovery hearts doesn't sound too bad. We still get a full heart container after boss fights right? And the heart pieces scattered around the map?

Piece of cake.

 

[Like the hat?]

All I know is I'm done being a day one Nintendo buyer. Zelda is my favorite series, but I already missed out on the Zelda DSLite and 3ds because I already had the handhelds, and now this one.

At least I still have my gold remote.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Geez, hero mode looks pretty hard actually. No recovery hearts?

I don't know, I mean...WW was so stupidly easy. To this day, I'm still unsure whether the game even has a Game Over screen.

 

[Auskeek]

I was just thinking about the no recovery hearts scenario, and thinking to myself "how will you refresh your hearts?".

I completely forgot that Grandma's soup and Heart Potions existed at all, I've pretty much never used them at all in any Zelda game I've played.

Also Pieces of Heart.

 

[Diablohead]

Dark green and gold would suit a legend of zelda game more then black and gold IMO.

Black and gold has a lot of history with Zelda, though.

Don't you know, the controller is the console.

(I couldn't resist)

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Would buy if you had an account system, Nintend'oh.

Should've been golden.

 

[entremet]

Love the system. Can't stand the game. Decisions, decisions.

 

[Qurupeke]

I've been playin OoT Master Quest and double damage is surely a big trouble. And this will also make all the recoveries heart disappear from the overworld,dungeons?! I'm in love with the game...

 

[outunderthestars]

As I predicted, adding a zelda paint job to the controller took this $350 bundle from laughable to a "must buy" for people.

I've considered it since it was rumored.

Yup and yup. I am right with you.

I'm reasonably sure video scripts don't write themselves (though what if they did? hmmmm

 

[Diablohead]

[NeOak]

Great Nintendo. Fucking early adopters again.

I'm through buying Nintendo consoles on day 1. Fuck you Nintendo for fucking those of us who bought the Wii U and 3DS early on so you could release special Zelda editions as a reward to late adopters.
