Twilight Princess HD officially announced.

I enjoyed the waggle too, but I much rather replay a game with different control method makes it feel different.
Which is why I loved replaying RE4 with Wii controls instead of dual analog again and Deus ex HR, with gamepad controls instead of regular xbox controller which I used on PC.

Wait, so are they not including the option to have the Wii version? That's weird.

I agree. Windwaker HD had a lot of depth. This seems really flat. I hope they can add shadows. It would improve the visuals a lot.
We don't know.

Now everyone will see how boring bland and uninspired this game is.
I don't know why in trying to be so serious they sucked the life out of it...the musi too awful

GTFO.
But...the GameCube version is the original. Not the Wii version.

but more people played the wii version, the wii version outsold the gamecube version by a lot
so for them, the world will be flipped
I was lucky enough to get a Wii at launch and Twilight Princess Wii before it even came out for GC.

Nah, I don't agree at all. Look at all the other remasters out there: the last of us, god of war 3, DMV, dmc4, tomb raider 2013, etc etc.
And anyway I will be thrilled to have it on the WiiU and playable via the gamepad.

The only differences with thecWii version are controls, widescreen and flipped view. We're at least getting widescreen. I wouldn't be surprised if they put in alternate controls and flipping as options by March. Hopefully as separate options. I don't want the controls but I would probably play through twice if there was a flip option to make it feel new again. It'll be my first time playing it non flipped when it comes out.
silly mirrorkids.
Cube is the canonical original since it has Kakariko in the correct spot.
therefore.
Cube wins.
It's not really weird if it happens (it's not confirmed) because this is based off of the Gamecube version which doesn't have any code for Wii Remote controls or the flipped world. It would take extra to then reprogram those in (obviously not impossible) and figure out how to port the Wii's flipped world without having to redo it all again with this version's new texture work and such.
Gyro on the GamePad would be the replacement and imo is infinitely better than the Wiimote's pointer controls.
The second option is already the default. I'd assume if Wiimote option was there they would have advertised it right now because that would be such a basic feature to highlight early on. If it's there, great, if it isn't there I won't be surprised. We will see in the coming months.
Just don't be surprised if it's not there.
My understanding is that the Wii version's flipped world was done by basically just flipping the image in post after it's rendered (and reversing left/right on the controls and flipping the in-game maps to match it) - internally the geometry and whatnot between the GC and Wii versions is identical. That should be very trivial to implement.
It's a Zelda game on the WiiU. Not sure how much it matters that other stuff will be coming out right around the same time
You will get that, but you will see them crispy clear!

Yes. If you pick it up in store they will slap a big sticker on it, and the associate will write their initials on the game instead of giving a receipt. I'm not shitting you on tjat last part. It's a new policy.
Didn't they have to reanimate cutscenes, though? Because Link was made right-handed? I swore I read that somewhere.

YES BEST ZELDA IN HD
lol

True the people who basically only buy Nintendo games will get it but for people who play those other games like me I don't have the time or budget for a upresed game I already have in such a busy month. January would have been nice.
Don't see why that would be the case, flipping the image reverses his handedness too.
Link is still left-handed in the GameCube version, remember. Flipping the image would make him appear right-handed.
I'll buy Dark Soul 3 and the TWHD, don't care the rest

Yeah literally everything, including cutscenes, is flipped from right to left in the Wii version compared to the Gamecube version. It played havoc with my muscle memory of finding my way through an area / dungeon / wherever when I got round to playing the GC version later on after already completing the Wii version..

Graphics aren't super impressive but I have been wanting a proper widescreen version of the GCN version, so definitely getting this.
EDIT: The sun rose in the west and set in the east in the Wii version. Link is the sole right-handed person in a world of lefties in the Wii version. It's completely backwards.

Speak for yourself, not for the rest of us who play other games.
I've already preordered TPHD.
Entire game was mirrored.
I mean that's what I thought originally but I guess whatever I read was wrong lol.
At the very least I wouldn't be surprised if the mirrored version is either Hero Mode exclusive or an option you can toggle. Dunno if they'll bother with Wiimote controls when the main feature of that (to most people) was the pointer controls for the arrows while the GamePad's superior Gyro will certainly be used for that if WWHD is anything to go by.

That was the reason they gave for flipping the whole world rather than just link, so they didn't have to reanimate cutscenes.
Nope, he's just mirrored.
It's actually not hard to do. I've seen multiple games that had a cheat that mirrored the entire game. I think Jak 2 had that.

No.
Guys, I'm not saying I think it looks hugely better or anything, but they definitely have at least added higher res textures:
This alone makes it worth it to me, and I did the game on Dolphin plenty of times.
But yeah, I'm sold on anything Zelda for starters... :lol
Please be native 1080p like WW though.

Calling this port "HD" is pretty shameless, it looks really bad, they could have done much more on improving the graphics...

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
It would've taken a much longer time to reanimate all the cutscenes, first zelda with fully mocapped cutscenes. Speaking of, why doesn't Nintendo release footage of that?? They're so secretive man.

It's in high definition. Calling it Twilight Princess HD is not shameless in the slightest.
I disagree there, this is a WiiU game, if that was the case they would have advertised the gamepad features before Wii control support, and they didnt even talk about that yet.
Its possible it has Wii controls but right now we just dont know, all they did was announce the game and shown off some HD upgrades, everything else will be announced later.
None of those games are on WiiU
And I bet TP HD outsells hitman and charts in the NPD top ten

So, port that is in HD and with the textures replaced with HD textures shouldn't be called HD?
Remember when we first saw Hyrule Warriors lol, it looked kinda bad, on release it looks very good

ww hd launched 3 days after GTA V, and it sold around 1.5 million copies. I won't get every game, and you should get tp hd after you have time and budget for it
I expect it will be cross-gen at this point, though. So no reason it can't come out for Wii U and NX.
