Topic: HD Remasters

Let's get back on topic. Let's stop arguing about how a game's difficulty affects how good it is, and what Zelda game is best. We've all stated our opinions. Mickeymac had a good point: let's agree to disagree. So if you have any objections to my opinions, well, you agree to disagree w/ them. Our opinions are not some godly order or anything after all. Opinion #1: A game's difficulty, unless it's ridiculous and downright lazy, doesn't make it a badly designed game. Opinion #2: Twilight Princess is best, though Skyward Sword kicked its a** in the controls department.

When they even worked correctly, that is (which was less than 75% of the time). And I liked Skyward Sword better overall!

@theblackdragon to @Mickeymac

Its super effective!

That's a more personal issue. I had very few problems with SS's controls, but I think I liked TP a bit more..
But WW is my favorite. It is also the most annoying one, but it's my favorite.

Anyways, I guess a great game that needs an HD makeover would be any Rare game, Majora's Mask, and...

SUPER MARIO WORLD!

@TysonQ7, I updated my thread about Game VS. Game.
Its TP vs. WW, you should vote

Edit : Soooo I'm pretty sure this thread has gone so far off topic its too late to be saved

Edit x2 : Nevermind, @TysonQ7 kept the convo going, good job!

@TysonQ7 Yeah, I'm sure some people had no problems whatsoever with them. Just venting.

I'd buy Majora's Mask with a shiny new HD coat of paint and entirely reworked visuals.

Actually I'd buy it again even if it had zero alterations, simply because it's Majora's Mask and therefore deserves all of my money.

I should really get back into Majora's Mask...

For me, they worked 80% of the time. And that was the throwing and writing mechanics. The sword worked almost perfectly. Excellent work for Nintendo EAD.

Bomb rolling/throwing was probably the worst for me.

@Sony_70 and @dark-insanity The reason I mentioned the controls in SM64DS is because I had seen so many people complain about them and was trying to figure out why people thought the original was so much better. The controls are better on 3DS with its circle pad but when playing it on the DS I really didn't find the controls much of a problem. Maybe I didn't make that clear enough in my last comment.
@Mickymac While the camera could have been better, I didn't find it that troublesome, I've played through that game 4 times and don't remember having many camera related deaths at all.

I haven't played that game but I've seen so many contrasting opinions on it. I think the user reviews section for it on gamefaqs had every possible score out of 10 given to it.

I didn't say it wasn't I was just saying that the more realistic styles need the higher resolution more than the flat textured Mario styles. So Zelda is generally the sort of game I'd really want to see a remake of and Mario generally isn't. Wind Waker being the exception.... however.

It's the one that can be improved the least visually but it does scale pretty well, would benefit from the Wii U controller and is crying out for 16:9. Look at the screenshot, tell me that's not something you'd want to see go retail especially if the HUD disappears completely.

I wasn't disagreeing with you; I would love to HD Wind Waker on Wii U as well.

Wii U Gamepad for Tingle Tuner?

Sadly, though, I see Nintendo just releasing the games the same as they originally were. They don't even use the super gameboy version of games for the 3DS Virtual Console. But you can choose between gray or green!

By far the best suggestion in this thread. I'd buy 2 Wii Us for this. Not that it would make the game experience any better, but I would need SOMETHING to do with my excitement.

It's bound to happen people are willing to pay for it, Nintendo's willing to take advantage of such an opportunity so why not? If they do 3D remasters why won't they do HD remasters. Works for PS360 I'm pretty sure it'll work for Wii U especially since a lot of you remember how gorgeous Twilight Princess looked in HD.

They've already given up on the 3D classics, it seems. I wouldn't put to much hope into an HD classics series, as awesome as it would be. I imagine we'll get a HD remake every now and then, but not too often.

@DudeSean Two things
1) We were talking about HD remasters on the Wii U not VC games. If they were to make a HD remaster for Wind Waker it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect them to use the extra features of the Wii U. 16:9, the tablet and the higher resolution screen. If it's a VC game? Expect 480p 4:3 with no extra features.

2) I wouldn't say that they'd given up on 3D classics just yet. The last one to launch anywhere was Kid Icarus which was January but Japan only got Kirby's Adventure on April 25th. Even if it's a dead idea, which I wouldn't say just yet, that doesn't mean that HD classics won't happen at all. Even if it was just four or five GC and Wii games and maybe a few SNES games redone... that'd be more than enough. Nobody is talking about them redoing the entire back catalogue in HD and giving us a VC sized list of HD remakes.

id like an HD version of majoras mask. ( >.> just a random thought here but maby they could make a master quest version of it) and hd versions of the metroid prime games. sadly i dont think any of these will get hd remakes >.> but hey a random person with a pikachu picture can dream cant he?

@skywake
1. Yeah, I know. I was saying they would likely just put them on the VC instead of give us HD remasters. I would prefer HD remasters, but, like I said, I wouldn't expect them to do very many.
2. I think they've released all that they've said they were going to make and they haven't made any positive comments about making more. I'm aware that it's entirely possible that they'll do more, but it's definitely not something they're too dedicated to doing.
