I would think it's just more of him wanting to save his money for NX

I really doubt this is going to be a HD game.
I doubt it, Nintendo made it pretty damn clear that the game i still Wii U-bound. Plus, assuming what a good number of us theorized is correct, they're gonna have to keep the NX Handheld in mind for the game, which may or may not be far off from the Wii U.

Not the "same engine", no. Twilight Princess uses a heavily updated Wind Waker engine, which is basically the case for almost any direct sequel.

Sadly not, the galaxy games and some other titles benefit a tiny amount but even then it's almost non existent.
Twilight princess however looks even worse and the extra sharpness just makes the crazy amount of jaggies stand out further, it really was the worst looking wii title when viewed on a hdtv, especially anything over 28 inches.
Fingers crossed as the game really deserves even a simple tidy up to 720p and some smoothing out.

Again:
Ahhh, it had HD in the title? God, we need a Direct and soon.
Huh, so it could actually be Twilight Princess HD. Maybe this is to make up for the fact that Zelda U got delayed.Again:
Annoying how many people probably feel this way when it makes no sense at all. Anyway, there are some amazing games that still come out and you can always sell it on the internet or something.

Again:
The "title ID" is the numeric string. They're asking if that numeric title ID is for a potential "Twilight Princess HD", because the icon the ID is attached to is Twilight Princess artwork. The text "Twilight Princess HD" was not found anywhere.

Well wouldn't they at least have a newer version of that artwork?
I think if it was an HD remaster then the icon wouldn't be an exact replica of existing art.
Sucks, because Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword are the two Zelda games that would benefit the most from a remaster. Wind Waker looked fine on Gamecube, and frankly I prefer the original lighting.

What's so terrible about the Wii version other than different controls? The sword swinging is harmless but I'd argue you to death how aiming anything with the point in Wii is way better than the GC version's.
The only thing I hated from the Wii version was the damn fairy pointer that just had to make noise every time you moved it across the screen at anytime. It took me 5 seconds to realize how bad a decision that was.
Yes. Having the same icon definitely means it's just the Wii version for the Virtual Console. No way they would suddenly launch and HD remake of one of their biggest franchises just like that.
You're forgetting possibly the biggest announcement: we've had new Pokemon forms we've known about for a month now, along with a new-ish anime, but no game to go with them yet.

Maybe a quick straight to eShop remaster?
The controls in general are bad, period. That's enough to warrant/desire the use of a Gamecube controller IMO. (Or Wii U Pro, or Tablet. )
Are there? Starfox was Nintendo's only major release for the Fall and it got pushed because both the public and Nintendo thought it looked bad. Mario Maker I grant you is a thing at the moment but I doubt it will last. From what I gather, the majority of peoples creations are messy trash that lack the development finesse of a real Nintendo developed Mario game while the quality made stuff is few and far between.
Call it ignorance but apart from Starfox, Xenoblade and Zelda, I can't think of many other huge must own games coming for the Wii U. Twilight Princess HD at 30 or 40 bucks sounds appealing, but anything for full price has to be pretty damn amazing at the moment to justify myself buying it on the Wii U.
Don't jump to Nintendo's defense so quickly, I love them as much as the next person but as soon as the NX and its projected release date became public, they should have expected this from a large group of people.
Same here...TP does not look good on HDTV's.
We could get a Pokémon Z reveal in this Direct if it happens. Though it'd probably have to be released between Summer 2016 & October 2016 to stay away from the launch of the NX Platform (unless Game Freak doesn't give a fuck).

TP belongs in the toilet with the rest of the crap. It doesn't look good cause it has terrible art. Worst Zelda.

They weren't bad. They worked just fine if not better than the GC. The only thing we lost was full control of the camera but I didn't miss that.
Skyward Sword on the other hand...... I hated that game's controls with a passion.

If you have a PC that can emulate Wii games. Many don't.

If it's an HD remaster I was actually kind of hoping they'd do Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword as a dual pack. Oh well.
What about Pokkén Tournament & SMTxFE?

I'd buy that for more than $60, I tell you that.
Most speculation is that it'll be out in Spring 2016. Probably their big February/March game for the 3DS.

Nothing, really. The bow/hookshot aiming is arguably better, and as you say the sword works just fine.
If I were to guess I'd say that some people just prefer buttons when it comes down to it, and there's always been a sense that the Wii version's sense of orientation was compromised as a result of the game being flipped horizontally.
I admit, having never played the Gamecube version, I'm curious as to how different it would feel, and the option for buttons would be nice for those lazing around on the floor playthroughs.
Also TP gets a lot of hate it doesn't deserve. The general shittiness of the Wii controls only compounds the matter.

It's probably just an HD remake with options for both GC and Wii controls.
Why would they do this when they sell them separately for 60 each.

I WAAANNNT TP to get the WWHD treatment, but I don't think it's happening. It's probably just a VC title.
The small tweaks they gave WW made the game so much more enjoyable, and even though I consider TP my favorite Zelda, it could use those tweaks REALLY bad.

Would assume it'd be a quickie release whereas Wind Waker HD had more gameplay fixes.

Three "must own" games for the next 12 month is not bad compared with other actual consoles.
Besides Zelda, Xenoblade and Starfox I would consider the new Fatal Frame, Pokemon Tournament, Fast Racing Neo and SMT/FE to fit in this category.

Using the WWHD gamepad usage on TP HD would work well enough. Removing some of the stuff at the start (starting with the slingshot, making herding optional, etc) would help with the biggest issue the game had. Could've been done relatively quickly too.
I think a Greezo remake like OoT3D would've been better, make it for the NX handheld and have it playable in full HD on the console.
WWHD did a good job preserving the game while fixing some issues with the original release and modernizing the gameplay
