| 3565 | Wind Waker HD Wii U Bundle | Metal Gear has had it's share of "rereleases" or "add ons" as well. Some were good (Twin Snakes) and others were pure crap (VR Missions). | Vaporman87 | Sep 15, 2013 | |
| 3564 | Wind Waker HD Wii U Bundle | You know... I do love Wind Waker, and I already own a Wii U... but is anyone else besides me disgusted at the way Nintendo remakes their older titles? I always hated it when Nintendo re-releases their older games as new titles. It's something they've done constantly since the Game Boy Advance era. Like when they released the Super Mario Advance series. It was billed as new games... but they were really older Mario games ported for the GBA with new revisions added (voice clips of Mario characters, more powerups and bigger enemies, new stage modes, etc). They also did the game thing with GBA re-releases of A Link to the Past, Kirby's Adventure, The original Metroid, and all three DKC games. Even in the DS era, we had games like Super Mario 64 DS and Kirby Super Star Ultra... as well as Ocarina of Time 3D and Star Fox 64 3D for the 3DS. As for what Nintendo is doing with Wind Waker HD... whenever I look at this, it tells me one statement... that Nintendo is only making this game for their hardcore fanatics. Not for the kids, not for the casual gaming crowd, but only for the fans. Everything about this game, both the Wii U bundle and the retail copy just screams "collector's edition". They also threw in a "hero mode" to further justify gamers who already owned Wind Waker to get this new HD version. It seems that pretty much all of the hardcore Nintendo fans I've seen gush over it like it's a good thing. But me personally, I find this extremely unethical. It's the same way Lucasfilm re-releases all of the older Star Wars films. They make revisions to the classic movies, and make collector's editions as ways to tell the hardcore Star Wars fans to buy the new versions of the movies. What Nintendo has been doing with Wind Waker HD is no better. It's an example of how some of the people at Nintendo are a bunch of money grubbing doucebags that like to milk the hell out of their hardcore fanbase... and this is coming from a lifelong fan of the company. Honestly though, the only way I'd be willing to get this new version of Wind Waker is if Nintendo reinstated the missing dungeons that was removed from the Gamecube title. But since Nintendo already announced that they aren't... then it further shows that they're only doing this for extra cash. I know the Wii U is in a slump right now, but really, I would much prefer that Nintendo would make a bundle pack that includes something like Pikmin 3, or Super Mario 3D World. Because I feel if there's one thing that would sell the system is new titles... and I mean new ORIGINAL titles, and not a remake of an older game. | blueluigi | Sep 15, 2013 | |
