Could've sworn this was confirmed to be 60fps but I guess I might be thinking of A Link Between Worlds. Not that that justifies the pricing either way
But yeah, despite being someone who loves Windwaker and is content starved on the Wii U this was probably always gonna be the one Nintendo title that I was probably passing on for the backhalf unless they're hiding some major new content
Should be $40 at most, but Nintendo tax. Some of their first party titles never drop in price either unfortunately
It's Wind Waker with bloom.
Eh, this is $50 bucks worthy?

Yep, FFX+X-2 HD is cheaper than this
Also im very hesitant to say this is any way a remake when other hd ports also redid portions of the entire code.
They improved the graphics, they reworked the annoying last act, they added new boat upgrades, and they integrated it with the Wii U tablet to make it a proper Wii U game.
If this were just a high-def re-release, I'd sympathize, but yeah, I was expecting $60.

It is just a high def re-release. Adding some stupid screen gimmick doesn't change that.
Trying to delude yourself into thinking this is like a brand new game. Wow.
That's pretty high for an HD re-release of a single game, imho. The God of War HD collection includes two games and launched at $40 (same with the ICO/SotC collection). The Metal Gear HD collection launched at $50 but that included three games (five if you want to count MG and MG2). I think $20-30 would be a fairer price.
It's a deal in that Nintendo fans would've gladly paid $60 for this, but it's hard not to look at what Square-Enix is doing with Final Fantasy X/X-2 (Trophy support, additional content, remaster treatment) for $10 less.
Nintendo tax, indeed. But if fans don't mind dropping the cash, all power to them. Nintendo knows it can charge more and that people will pay it. I don't blame them for being opportunistic.
With the way wiiu is selling, it might be on discount by early next year so i can wait.
Actually many times a shit ton of work goes in these hd ports. There is no hd port button
Yeah, a second screen is a really dumb idea.It is just a high def re-release. Adding some stupid screen gimmick doesn't change that.
Trying to delude yourself into thinking this is like a brand new game. Wow.
By the same token you have people pitching a fit that Earthbound is $10 while a ton of SE games on the PSN have been $10 for a long time. Neither company can win and people will always find a reason to complain. Even if this game added content including the dungeons that were scrapped people would be whining.

That must be why the DS is the best-selling handheld of all time, and why every other demo at E3 this year showed off second-screen functionality.
Though if they think can sell many copies of the game for $50 then they should do it I guess. There probably is a large group of fans that are starved for content on the Wii U and would also pay a high price for this game.
Just that I personally don't think it's worth it.

Oot 3D sells for 40$ a console remake 10$ more shouldnt be that surprising.Eh, this is $50 bucks worthy?

I think the only way I'd pay $50 for this is if they included a Hard mode (right off the bat) or something. WW is an amazing game, but it's too easy and poorly paced (at times).

It has to do with his calling the second screen a gimmick, which is foolishness out of 2004.What does this have to do with anything..
Then again, there are sale events in the PSN... not mention that one is a SNES game and another is a PS1 game...
Ah i see we've entered the people always whine accusations corporate apologists like to throw out
What does this have to do with anything..
And good for them but this attitude some people have that as long as a company can get away with something people shouldnt say anything is disgusting
well since the Wii U is selling like shit I expect this to hit the sales rack, or be on discount during black friday.

You obviously missed the part where I said there is plenty to bash Nintendo about but this isn't really it.
Thanks for the heads up. I pre-ordered it just in case the price goes back up.
Feel free to quote the post where I called it a "remake."Adding gamepad support in no way makes this a remake

It's nice to want things.You can get the Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection for the that price...
For $50 bucks, that game better be the best goddamn reimagining we've seen yet. I'm talking like a top to bottom reworking on that triforce fetch quest kind of overhaul
Is GAF a joke when talking about Nintendo prices? $399 PS4 + online paywall is somehow OK, but on the other hand the guys keep saying how the Wii U should be $149 and its games $20. ???

And who are you to decide that?
