  • Wii U Zelda Wind Waker HD bundle

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I'm pickin' mine up tomorrow. First thing I'm gonna do is sell the code for the downloadable copy of Wind Waker HD and Hyrule Historia. I've got Historia in physical copy and 2 copies of the Wind Waker HD Collector's Edition with the Ganon statue comin' on the 4th :-)

You guys are getting excited over an HD remake? This is what draws people to buy consoles?

Me personally? No. I'm excited about the Special Edition system that'll go nicely with my similar 3DS and the collector's value in the extraordinarily limited Limited Edition, which is already more than doubled in value and it ain't even released yet. The game itself I may not get to for a while

Besides, how many people in the US and even here would wet themselves and be "forced" to get a FF7 remake if it were released for the PS4?

No, the price drop, the aesthetics of the console, and the Xeno game announcement have me wanting the damn Wii U. I wasn't even that big of a fan of Wind Waker.

I hate Wind Waker.

That's a nice looking console though.

Oracle, let's hope X doesn't have the same issues getting a state-side release that freakin Xenoblade did -_-

Nintendo knows enough to pay attention to its game values to realize that they might have actually be better served to re-issue Xenoblade Chronicles since they already sold out every copy they made and the price its going for in the second-hand market. It's not by accident that they re-issues the Super Mario All-Stars collection and Gamestop announcing they were getting more copies of the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Since NoA published Xenoblade themselves, it wouldn't shock me if they eventually re-issued some of those as well

That being said, that should almost guarantee the new one coming here based on the success of the first. If Japan is too stupid to let them do it you can bet your ass X-Seed or Aksys will jump all over it if they're allowed to. Maybe their relationship with Sega (oddly pretty cozy now) will even see it come over under the Atlus name if a third-party is required? The execs there would have a better chance than X-Seed (ex-Square USA guys) or Aksys. But I still think it's almost a guarantee by NoA themselves
