So apparently a menu icon for Twilight Princess has been found in the Wii U eshop from a hacker who was crawling the store. So of course, does this hint at a rerelease of some kind?

I really hope it's a remake. WWHD was amazing after all, and TP could look spectacular on the Wii U.

Spoiler

Just leave out the motion controls plz

 

[BY2K]

If this is true, the question is: Wii VC or HD re-release ala Wind Waker HD?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Probably just a re-release of the Wii game. Please be unexcited.

 

[Wario64]

Probably just Wii release?

 

[VeryGooster]

It's probably just the Wii port.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

I hope it happens.

 

[RPGCrazied]

If this is true, the question is: Wii VC or HD re-release ala Wind Waker HD?

Probably be virtual console. Ugh. I want this to be remastered. I love this game, but it has aged badly graphic wise. Looks like hot mess on my HDTV.

 

[brandonh83]

If anything it'll just be a port the same as Mario Galaxy 2.

 

[Escalario]

If this is true, the question is: Wii VC or HD re-release ala Wind Waker HD?

Wii VC icons have the WII label on the lower part of the icon.
There's also a possibility it's simply a placeholder for Zelda U :V

 

[Machina]

Fuck....I swore off buying anymore Wii U games.

 

[Kriken]

95% chance this is simply the Wii VC

 

[Persona7]

What ever happened to that rumored HD port on wii U?

I saw this on twitter and apparently the icon was uploaded recently.

The direct link should probably be in the OP : https://twitter.com/NWPlayer123/status/653697137230745600

 

[phanphare]

probably just offering it as a digital Wii title on the eShop

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

This rumor might be the answer to your question

 

[James Scott]

Most likely a Wii VC release. Would be up for a remaster tho

 

[Prototype]

If this is true, the question is: Wii VC or HD re-release ala Wind Waker HD?

This.

Not interested in rerelease.

 

[RPGCrazied]

What ever happened to that rumored HD port on wii U?

Yeah, wondered about that too. Nintendo said they were working on another remaster, but nothing after that.

 

[Machina]

The video states that Aonuma has said that they used other Zelda games as a test bed for HD remakes in the leadup to Wind Waker and TP was one of them.

Here's the actual source: https://twitter.com/NWPlayer123/status/653697137230745600

95% chance this is simply the Wii VC

If this is legit, the title is "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA Twilight Princess HD". Also, don't the icons of Wii VC games have a border around them or something on Wii U?

 

[Illucio]

Probably a Gamecube/Wii port of the game.
(Please be a Gamecube port and not the terrible Wii version)

 

[papercan55]

It's probably just the Wii port.

Probably just Wii release?

Probably just a re-release of the Wii game. Please be unexcited.

I can't think of a single wii game which looks worse on a hdtv, nintendo wouldn't be that stupid would they?
mario galaxy, dk, kirby and the others look acceptable but twilight princess was hideous to the point that it really messes up the game on a hdtv.

Maybe a simple up rez to 720p on the wii shop to apologise for no zelda and no star fox this holiday?

 

[Neoxon]

Fuck....I swore off buying anymore Wii U games.

Why?

But seriously, it's likely just the Wii game on the eShop like what happened with Galaxy 2.

 

[Zareka]

Uuuuurgh. This needs a remaster/make more than Wind Waker that makes it look less crappy and cuts the insane amount of tutorial fat in the beginning. Really murders my motivation to try and replay it.

Also, we could live in a world where there's a (non-emulated) version of TP that has widescreen support and regular controller support in the one package. Nintendo, please.

 

[Machina]

Why?

Because the console is dead as of next year?

 

[ReBirFh]

I don't remember any rumour, just wishful thinking after the release of Wind Waker HD.

Will it stop working just because Nintendo will release a new console?

 

[TrueBlue]

HD remake or not, I hope this is indicative of a Direct coming soon.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

The video states that Aonuma has said that they used other Zelda games as a test bed for HD remakes in the leadup to Wind Waker and TP was one of them.

It would make a lot of sense. Particularly since they said they developed a program to help convert GameCube games to HD. It makes no sense to not use it again

 

[Benzychenz]

Because the console is dead as of next year?

So that means you can't enjoy it?

 

[Kandinsky]

This makes me sad because no doubt it will be the Wii VC version D:

 

[Neoxon]

Because the console is dead as of next year?

There's still good games coming for it, & the NX Console probably won't be backwards compatible anyway. Did you swear off buying 3DS games, as well?

 

[Vashetti]

Probably be virtual console. Ugh. I want this to be remastered. I love this game, but it has aged badly graphic wise. Looks like hot mess on my HDTV.

The HDMI output of the Wii U and the upscaling that comes with it should provide a good improvement over it running natively on a Wii.

 

[Nanashrew]

Oh, Octogirl!

Now I just wonder when the Direct is happening.

 

[brandonh83]

Uuuuurgh. This needs a remaster/make more than Wind Waker that makes it look less crappy and cuts the insane amount of tutorial fat in the beginning. Really murders my motivation to try and replay it.

I don't even mind the intro. I liked the long setup to a long journey. Just one of those things that never bothered me at all. I just want it in HD with enhanced assets. If I got that I would lose my shit.

 

[Rapscallion]

I'd buy a Twilight Princess VC release if you could play off-TV and without the wiimote.

HD port would be even better.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Definitely not a remake guys. It'll just be the original Wii game. Icon wouldn't already be hosted nor would they just be using old art if it was a full remake.

 

[muteant]

The HDMI output of the Wii U and the upscaling that comes with it should provide a good improvement over it running natively on a Wii.

can anyone who's played from the disc via Wii mode on the Wii U confirm that this helps much?

Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, it only makes sense!

So it's probably not happening

 

[Mcdohl]

Agreed. I didn't mind the intro being long either.

Let's hope it's an HD port

of the GC version

.

 

[Kouriozan]

Hope it's an HD remake, it took only 6 months for Wind Waker, shouldn't need too much ressources for Twilight Princess as well.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Not really. Its sharper, but the jaggies are still there in full force, and on bigger screens, well, its not pretty.

 

[Machina]

The last game I bought for 3DS was Majora's Mask and I haven't even touched that for longer than a few hours yet.

The fact of the matter is that any money I spend on the Wii U now (considering I am currently jobless to boot) could go towards a new NX in.....Not very far into the future.

 

[Zareka]

I liked it the first time round but when I go for a second, herding cows and helping some woman get her baby basket back is just entirely unappealing. I also know a friend who got put off the game because of the long stretch of busy work when I know the rest of the game would have really appealed to him.

I wouldn't want it completely cut, but shortened a little. Maybe make them optional for people who've already played it before.

 

[BY2K]

Oh the title ID specifically say HD?

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

I would LOVE if it was an HD re-release, because the art in that game does not shine at all because of the low resolution it had...but I have a feeling it's just gonna be a Wii version, which also sucks because I hated those controls. Was so much more enjoyable with the Gamecube controller.

 

[Fat Goron]

They will release an HD Remake of Twilight Princess for Wii U....








.... because there won't be a Wii U version of Zelda NX.

 

[Fantastical]

This game desperately needs new textures so yes please.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Oh the title ID specifically say HD?

I don't think so?

 

[diaspora]

IIRC Windwaker uses the same engine as Twilight Princess, so an HD remake wouldn't be impossible.

 

[BumblebeeCody]

When you think about it, Nintendo do have some pretty crappy fans.
"Please don't leak any info you find." or "Could you not leak our upcoming plans"
Lol fuck u.
