what the fuck is this? i expected some significant graphical overhaul

 

[obeythed1734]

I was waiting for the transition in to upgraded visuals...

Same, very bummed.

 

[Windom Earle]

Can we go one game without talking about the graphics from a stream?

No, it's very possible to judge graphics off a hd stream.

 

[Zomba13]

I bet this is a fucking Game exclusive in the UK

It's a Nintendo collectors edition. Of course it is. It could also show up on the nintendo UK store run by thehut though.

 

[The Last One]

I hope the Amiibo stuff isn't important.

Master Sword exclusive to Amiibo edition.

 

[The Lamonster]

The Amazon page is clearly just a placeholder. It's not sold out haha

 

[Branduil]

No way does the real Wolf Link amiibo end up looking that good.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Lol, they sure didn't give the graphics the WW treatment. I hope they have at the very least added new content and re-optimized some things, but I don't think this will be worth buying for those who've already played the original.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Disappointing. $40 - $60 Amiibo

 

[Aostia]

looks meh, but amiibo / ost bundle will be mine!

 

[Relix]

Glad I was not the only one expecting a screen swipe showing new graphics haha.

 

[diaspora]

Think it's more that Wind Waker's art direction just holds up better.

Windwaker had a lighting overhaul iirc.

 

[The Libertine]

Well I am in. I have been debating replaying Twilight Princess for a while now and that amiibo will be mine.

 

[Dicer]

It looks like a 3rd party is doing the work, shame Nintendo should do this one in-house...

 

[ViewtifulJC]

it was like when Square said "SEVENTEEN YEARS" and you kept waiting for the FF7 trailer to change to remake

 

[Sevyne]

I just want that Amiibo.

 

[samn]

Yeah I'm not paying £30 or whatever for this.

Just watching the direct:

"But it's more than just a prettier version of the same game. To make this game even more enjoyable -"

oh great they improved the gameplay

"we decided to create a new amiibo figure"

oh for fucks sake nintendo

 

[Vagabundo]

Tried to play TP on the Wii U recently and it had aged well graphically. This looks much better. Playable.

I rarely care about old graphics, but TP on a HD screen looked gank.

I encourage anyone to but the Wii version on the Wii U and have a look.

 

[bobbychalkers]

I was waiting for the transition in to upgraded visuals...

Same here. I'm not even gonna lie, my interest in this was tied to whatever graphical overhauls they made. I have a copy less than 10 feet away from me right now so its hard to get excited about it, especially since I don't care about amiibo.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

One of the worst Zelda games manages to make it across 3 consecutive platforms.

Looking forward to Twilight Princess NX.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Can you buy the ammibo without the game?

I need it

 

[Solrac]

meh.. just look like playing the GC version on dolphin.

 

[LegendX48]

No, it's just because it isn't up yet.

I hope so.

 

[Oblivion]

Goddamnit. It literally is Zelda HD. As in, just an up-res and nothing else. :/

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

They could've at least bribed the HD Texture modder to use some of their work....

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Same here. I'm not even gonna lie, my interest in this was tied to whatever graphical overhauls they made. I have a copy less than 10 feet away from me right now so its hard to get excited about it, especially since I don't care about amiibo.

Yeah. I guess I was spoiled with Wind Waker . Especially since it seems to be a third party doing the work. Hopefully this is the case of that EARLY Hyrule Warriors trailer where it looked pretty basic.

 

[Diprosalic]

yass
it's my second favourite Zelda
sue me.

 

[TheMagician]

At first I thought they were showing the GameCube version and then would show the Wii U version after to compare how much of an upgrade there had been...

 

[jackdoe]

It looks pretty ugly, but as long as it costs $30 or less, I'll be there day one (I've already wasted enough cash buying the game on the Gamecube and the Wii). But I have the sneaking suspicion that they bundled it with the Wolf Link Amiibo so they could sell it for $60.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Update page Amazon. I need to order this, like now.

Fixed it for you! So hyped!

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Question. I've already 100%ed TP on Wii.

Am I a fuckhead for buying this with no intention to play it?

 

[watershed]

Glad I was not the only one expecting a screen swipe showing new graphics haha.

Seriously, I thought it was gonna happen any moment...

 

[jmizzal]

I wonder what the price will be

 

[outunderthestars]

One of the worst Zelda games manages to make it across 3 consecutive platforms.

Looking forward to Twilight Princess NX.

That was my first thought as well.

 

[Mistle]

Honestly I was waiting for a "old to new" transition, but it never happened.

At least the box art is nice.

 

[Astral Dog]

Looked like shit

So its Twilight Princess then.

 

[Dicer]

Just a smidge of collecterdishness, it's ok we all are guilty of it at times...

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Damn i'm pretty disappointed with the visuals,i was hoping it would look close to the e3 demo.

 

[Bizzquik]

Disappointed.

Once again, the best version of a Nintendo game is already out on PC. .....That needs to stop, Nintendo.

 

[Roo]

Wait, what the fuck?

There seems to be no upgrades other than higher res textures and maybe some gameplay changes. Like playing the game through Dolphin.

Geometry, lighting, animations, etc seem literally the same as the original game.

 

[dampflokfreund]

This just looks like TP on dolphin with sharper textures.

I'm disappointed.

Not even the lighting is changed.

 

[SpotAnime]

I hope I can choose between right-handed and left-handed Link.

 

[AgeEighty]

Goddamnit. It literally is Zelda HD. As in, just an up-res and nothing else. :/

Come on. You really think the announcement was a comprehensive detailing of everything about the game? They made some tweaks to WW; I'm sure they'll do something similar with TP.

I hope I can choose between right-handed and left-handed Link.

It's more than just which hand Link uses; the entire map flips horizontally. Apparently that was the only way they could make Link right-handed in the Wii version.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Looked like shit

So its Twilight Princess then.

 

[Rich!]

Confirmed as based on the superior GC version. Layout on the trailer is the non-mirrored world.

 

[Red Hood]

Ported by Tantalus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalus_Media

That's... underwhelming.

Footage during the Direct didn't look all that great either, but I was hoping it was due to the stream.

 

[jmizzal]

Lol, they sure didn't give the graphics the WW treatment. I hope they have at the very least added new content and re-optimized some things, but I don't think this will be worth buying for those who've already played the original.

Its Tantalus, their strengths are in gamepad stuff and added some new content, I dont know about graphical overhauls

Gamepad stuff is what I wanted most

 

[Tevos]

Gimme dat best buy link, i need my GCU discount

 

[liquidtmd]

Legit question: Why would Nintendo pour any real effort into this?

Wii U is dead and the people that this is aimed at are

- Zelda die hards who will buy it probably regardless
- Casuals who don't know about Dolphin nor care and just want a fairly decent game to play on their game starved machine.

They gain nothing by pouring resources into this other than being able to say 'LOOK! A GAME IN 2016 FOR WII U! WE TOTALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WII U!'
