Not put off by the challenge, am put off by the price. I don't mind paying 4 times that for a physical cartridge because I know I've got that forever. Nintendo keep proving that you never really own a digital download and that's a shame.

It was half butt'd then and it's half butt'd now. No excuse for 50Hz releases in the HD age. People are protesting against the principle of still getting 2nd class versions 20yrs after the original release.

I've been playing it from the beginning again on my Gamecube. I got the PAL version and got lost at sea, forgot what I was doing and never went back to it.

When I picked up an NTSC GameCube in the US I re-bought my entire collection, including Wind Waker. I barely played it because I just had so many other games to play.

I always found the sea going bits boring and felt like they went on forever. When I heard Zelda on DS shared the same art style and even some of the sailing, I was worried. That game turned out to be one of my favourite Zelda games so my opinions on Wind Waker softened.

I vowed to go back to it at some point after I finished a load of other Zelda games. Since going back to it I've discovered how poor it is at keeping you up to speed with your objectives. Whether you're in a dungeon or out at sea, quite often you wonder what te hell you're supposed to be doing or where you should be going.

The fish at the start pleads with you to keep your sea charts updated and that is VERY wise advice. I've been taking a lot of notes as I go because I know periods of confusion and apathy set in and it's an easy game to walk way from. It's also an easy game to fall in love with and this time I'm determined to see it through.

Restart points make Super Ghouls n Ghosts worth suing again. What an infuriating game that was back in the day. It's also pretty hard to get hold of a decent copy on Super Famicom too.

The screen tearing looks like a bad 6 year old 360 game. Very poor.

TV ads were awful. I bought mine in the hope Bayonetta would come quickly and she still hasn't shown up. Had I based my purchase on the adverts I'd be £330 richer right now.

Instead my £330 collects dust under my TV except for the odd Sunday morning when I power it up to see if TVii has been launched yet, then disappointed play Punch-Out!! For a few mins before turning on the Xbox.

If this leads to eshop games eventually being cheaper than physical games then its a good thing. I remain hopeful.

I wasted 9000 stars on rubbish over the years and have about 6500 just now. Had my eye on the SNES controller for a while bu t not sure I'd ever use it with the Wii U.

Amazing game and it was just the exclusive GameCube needed at the time. Shame no one knew about it!

Aren't some of the people behind this now working at Platinum Games?

Unusually I agree with everything he says. Nintendo are heading for another GameCube if they don't make some big changes in the very near future.

Road Rash.

My big frustration with all this be patient, it was the same with the DS/3DS patter is that Nintendo obviously aren't learning from their mistakes.

There's no point releasing a system early to steal a march on the competition if the games aren't ready.

We'll have Bob Geldoff starting a charity single with lots of Wii U's covered in flies, singing let them know its Metroid time any minute now...

Just hurry up and get some games out, Nintendo. I paid £330 for a console which the best game I've played on is a 20 year old NES port.

No wonder we're bloody angry, you ripped us off! Stop rehashing old games and give us new stuff on our new console and maybe we'll stop complaining and start playing!

@Sun I'm genuinely worried for society when a grown adult doesn't understand percentages.

Shenmue Trilogy please.

@LzQuacker no I think they're apologies for releasing it at all.

Poop game not released on dead console. Shame...

Completely agree. Wii U is on its last legs after only a few months, and it feels a lot like GameCube did in its last few. Retailers want nothing to do with it and the public don't have a clue it even exists.

We need decisive action from Nintendo. We don't need month/year old ports of console, PC, 3DS or even iOS games - we need brand new top notch material to sink our teeth into. Nothing short of a Brand new Zelda, Metroid or Mario will do. And then it needs to be back up by more.

This thing needs at least 1 AAA title per quarter to get it up off its arse and start selling.

I'm reasonably happy with 3DS but it desperately needs its own Zelda game to become a classic handheld. I still think Mario 3D Land was probably its finest hour to date.

It's exactly what Wii U needs. The fact it's a 3rd party exclusive makes it a bit more special and will attract buyers who may not have bought the console otherwise.

@Kifa it's pretty simple, I bought the Wii U to play Bayonetta 2 and a few of the other games mentioned when the system was announced but none have turned up yet. ZombiU was ok but that was finished in a week, and Nintendoland needs about 16 different controllers to be fully appreciated so I have up after a couple of days. New Super Mario turned out to be lovely but that was months ago now too.

I had completed NFS on 360 by the time it had arrived on Wii U and got it £15 cheaper too. NFS is a port of the PC version, not a new game.

@DePapier why would I want to hurt anyone? I just want some decent exclusives to stop my Wii U gathering dust! I'm not going to pretend everything's great with Wii U when it clearly isn't.

The pricing for new games needs looking at too. Ninja Gaiden appealed but none of my local stores ever stocked it except Game, who were charging £50 for it. I could buy it for about £20 if I remember correctly for my 360 by that time. A couple of weeks later Metal Gear Rising appeared £15 cheaper on 360 to infinitely better reviews so I bought that instead.

The games are getting cheaper but only because retailers are losing patience at their poor sales performance and discounting to get rid. Not a good sign!

I hope things change quickly so that the console I paid £330 for (plus extra cash for other controllers just so I could play all the games in Nintendoland) doesn't go to waste.

Wii U needs system-selling exclusives, not late ports. Price cuts and free downloads from the eshop aren't going to make me happy - decent games are!

@Beta - my Wii U hasn't been touched in months and I'm sick of hearing about late ports coming and not selling for obvious reasons or not coming at all. I will sell it because its a useless paperweight until something decent actually hits it!

@JSuede I'm not interested I late ports like NFS, Monster Hunter and Aliens which now looks to be cancelled. Lego isn't exactly a system seller now is it?

This site alone mentions cancelled or delayed ports on a daily basis. Wii U is not doing well!

The Wii U is properly screwed isn't it? Not a single decent game on it since launch and nothing concrete on the way. Very tempted to sell mine but who would buy it!!

Cheap or not, no one is going to buy a console with no games out for it. Nintendo have pooped the bed and the smell it's left is au du GameCube.

It was shockingly expensive and as I suspected it has been thoroughly outclassed by Metal Gear Rising. I may pick it up 2nd hand though...

They deserve a medal for the 60Hz support. It's taken 20yrs but they're getting the message that our fragile telly boxes can handle it!

I've got it preordered on 360. I'm not going to stop buying new games in the hope they appear on Wii U. Especially as by the time thu do appear on Wii U for £50 they are half that price on 360!

Nintendo knows what VC games I bought. It knows that I downloaded a Gamecube screensaver with my nintendo points 10yrs ago FFS! So they can do away with this system transfer nonsense and just let me download my old VC games again once they get it up and running on Wii U.

Or I will tie it to my pick up truck and pull the whole site down, Martin Riggs style.

The menus on Xbox are horrible as although they can be accessed while driving, in reality you just end up crashing because they're so clunky. It might just work a treat on Wii U. Shame I bought and have almost finished it on Xbox already though...

RRP is too high and retailers like HMV seem to be sticking to it religiously. There aren't many games that haven't already been on another system. I've got plenty of cash ready to buy more games but there aren't any I fancy. I can buy Batman on my 360 for £25 so there's no way I'm paying double that for the same game on Wii U.

The load times are shocking. Going back to Wii menu from other minuscule apps takes an age. Considering its all from flash, there are no excuses.

@CactusJackson you haven't played the game, have you?

I'm curious as to how this works. Do you have to export the game to the gamepad before you head off? That's quite a nice idea.

I wish they would at least let up on the retro region locking so we can play our GameCube and Wii titles on our new hardware.

Other M is probably my favourite Wii game, both Mario Galaxy games aside. Couldn't put it down for some reason and the graphics were great. Agree a 3DS version would be fantastic.

Does the ridiculously priced download version even come with club Nintendo points like the cheaper retail version?
