@triforcepower73 i think the game puts itself in the position to be compared to the original, being that it is a remake AND how it's updated the game's original artwork. but i think now i'm in a bad position to argue, so i'm going to leave it at this; although very nice, i do not think it is nearly as good as the original artwork, imho
@triforcepower73 i say what i do because i truly believe WindWaker is the most adventurous game in the series. the original cover-art is sketchy and looks like it was drawn on parchment. it captures the atmosphere of the game without even playing it. it says, "this game has pirates, magic, adventure and fun!" this new version looks glossy, bright, and shiny, without capturing anything that makes the game special. i honestly think it makes the game look worse, then again i seem to be the only person that thinks this, so maybe i'm in the wrong.
honestly, i think it looks hideous. compare it to the original's artwork. the original artwork screams adventure and pirates! this new version feels glossy and for rich kids. i hate this. imho.
@Luigifan141 gah, if you're really too lazy to buy the game used at your local bookstore for about $4 dollars (that's how much it was at my bookstore anyway), then it's pointless arguing with you if you really dont trust us that the game is good, please read about it. read reviews, articles, ANYTHING. and if you're too poor to get it, i usually dont suggest this, but EMULATE IT. and if you STILL won't play it, than you are ignorant and it is pointless arguing with you. i will agree that a lot of spongebob games are shovelware, sure, but judging a game because it has spongebob? i bet if it was the exact same game with different characters, your attitude would be totally different.
this would be a good idea, but when you add this game to the bundle, you'll be forced to raise the price, making the WiiU look even LESS cheaper than the PS4. and nintendo's said again and again that they aren't dropping the price.

yeah, no. not getting this. 'tis a money grabber. imagine if nintendo did this with pokemon "gotta BUY 'em all!" no. this feels like the exact same thing. skylanders wasn't worth my time, neither is this.
legends never die, Capcom (like @SheldomRandoms said, lol). i hope this game stains your reputation among fans for until you go bankrupt. FOUR megaman games you've cancelled, FOUR. don't you dare tell me it's "it's not uncommon for games to be cancelled in mid-production" or whatever. and you talk about the game not being able to get good enough sales, even though there are THOUSANDS of fans pissed out of their right minds at you. you're screwing us over on purpose >:[ honestly i couldn't give a single crap about Resident Evil, you ruined it.
that tweet implies that the wiiU doesnt come with next-gen engine, so CODGhosts has to come with it. honestly, if you've played one COD game, you've played them all. i dont really care for this.
@anthony12 http://flipnotestudio3d.nintendo.com read the section titled "What is Flipnote Gallery: Wold?". it's there in the small print below the text.
the ability to shift the 3D layers blew my mind. i didnt think they'd implement something so brilliant! 3D will look SO much better when you can edit it yourself.
@anthony12 not that we know of. you can however use the online service free from 3pm to 7pm i think, correct me if i'm wrong. it also uses the 3DS' internal clock, so that might mean you can change the clock and use it whenever you want!
i'll say the same thing i said on the thread for this post. ... i know i want Atlus to be bought by someone other than the big three, so that they can be 3rd party and make games for whatever console they like, but my inner fanboy wants Nintendo to buy them, which isn't okay by me. it'd be a good move for nintendo, but i want Atlus to be 3rd party.
Dear NLife, i've noticed the rating system is broken. this game got a 9, but you meant it to have a 10. just doing my part to serve the community. yours, KAHN
@ClassicSonicFan you really should learn how to argue. not trying to be mean, but people will take you more seriously if you use more facts to support your claims, but people will take you less seriously if you insult your opponent and lose your temper. not trying to be mean, we all learned from somewhere.
coming back to my previous comment on this post, Haley really doesn't know what she's talking about, and she's just trolling, but you're not really giving strong enough evidence to back your side of the argument up and prove her wrong. several times in the video could i contradict her opinion with facts about the game, but you kind of just got angry and insulted her.
remember, when you get angry, the troll wins. people think irrationally when they're angry, and that might have been the case for you. drop the attitude a bit to where you can understand her issues, and like the rest of us, you'll be able to prove her wrong.
that's stupid. Standalone titles are just as good. Pixar said they only want to make a sequel to a movie only if they strongly felt it would be a good movie, and the same principle should apply to games. make a GREAT game and everyone will love it, but only make the sequel if you strongly feel it's good enough. otherwise, can it. make a new game. bad sequels aren't worth anyone's time.
oh, if only i registered my wiiU earlier! i could have qualified for platinum :[ i guess i'll have to settle for warioware. i wanted the MM soundtrack though ;n;
my opinion of the game, it's different from the other two. i don't like it, and i sold it on craigslist the other day. most of the game consists of collecting shards, which to me was an unwelcome addition. most of the puzzles were too easy, and the level system is pretty much gone. i wouldnt recommend it. not me.
there is nothing in this soapbox that i haven't said already, only difference is it's coming from a staff member. nintendo uses the excuse that younger players havent played WW, so they're remaking it, but come on! NO ONE has played ZeldaU, so you're making a game for both audiences. it's a lazy port, nothing new other than a faster boat, i won't be getting this.
but Rory, another OoT remake, really? you want another one? there are enough of those (gamecube version w/masterquest, gamecube version with zelda collectors edition, wii VC, and 3DS remake). we dont need more remakes, we need more original titles!
we dont want remakes, we want original titles of games we haven't played before. first game i played in the zelda series was Spirit Tracks, and that game taught me how different Zelda was from any other game. but that doesnt mean i want to play the same thing again with updated graphics. one of the reasons why i love zelda is because it's so different from everything else, it's willing to do something no one else has done before. but with this remake bullcrap i've seen nintendo do, i am not getting that, i am instead getting that Nintendo is a bunch of sissies now, afraid to try something new. now they're just doing the exact same thing as before, which sucks. if you want younger players to experience the game, put it on virtual console, DONT release a stupid remake. i expect a NEW game when i buy zelda, not the EXACT SAME THING as before with updated graphics.
the second screen is convenient. people call it a gimmick but like i said it's convenient. all the clutter can be on the bottom screen, allowing for a clean gameplay experience on the top screen, and a lot of the time, this works so well for the handheld department, WiiU not so much. most games i've seen for WiiU show the TV screen on the gamepad as well, and that just bugs me. i only buy games for my WiiU if the gamepad is utilized well, and sadly, most of the time (or just a lot of the time) all developers do with the gamepad is show the exact same thing as whats on the TV screen, and i HATE when this is the case. i bought the WiiU because it offers a gameplay experience neither Sony or MS can offer, but when you use the gamepad like that, it's no different from any other game, and it's reasons like that for why i'm not satisfied with my WiiU. dont get me wrong, i think when used correctly, the WiiU is a great system, but when you dont even utilize it's most obvious feature, that is a big problem for me.
the portable consoles however have had a good break. they ALWAYS have something different on both screens, thats because the screens are so close together. See, WiiU can get away with it because the screens arent connected, and that is bullcrap. i look forward to the future of the WiiU, but for now, i'll stick to my 3DS for dual screen entertainment.
i move around the globe a lot, and the problem is that i can only play NA games on my NA 3DS, and my JP games on my JP 3DS, and so on. and THAT is bullsh**
ugh, here we go again with the "next-gen" fiasco. @Damo, please be more clear when you're writing these articles. i see no indication of him saying WiiU is Current-Gen.
