Neddy Seagoon posted:That was the Wii. If the WiiU had it, they'd probably have stuck in backwards compatibility somehow. Well, the Gamecube hardware is more or less a subset of the Wii hardware, which is more or less a subset of the Wii U hardware. I seem to recall that some folks messing around with hacking Wii mode managed to confirm compatibility.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I'm expecting more along the lines of a second player can use a Wiimote to targetlock for the GamePad-user, myself. The non-linear thing is genuinely interesting though. Yeah this has me excited. Its the non single player, and general bucking conventions talk) I'd like to see a static world you can explore. SS and especially bad at this TP, the world felt like existed just for you to do stuff to it. WW had a world that felt like it didn't disappear when link left an island, TP had places that were just set pieces. SS was somewhere in the middle, as only the main town felt lived in. I dont know if Im describing that right. Its like Skyrim where a town full of people will be getting on with their lives even if you never showed up. I'd like a less epic Zelda where you run around in the world and your quest doesn't shatter reality at every turn. It would almost have to be that was to be non-linear which is exciting.

Akileese posted:So are these TRIALS or are they just charging 30 cents for the game? I'm not completely clear on that so I wanted to see exactly what they said on the eShop. If it works I'm definitely picking it up mainly to encourage Nintendo to rethink their VC pricing scheme.

Iwata himself seemed to contradict himself saying they were 30 cents, but he also made a quip about deciding whether or not you wanted to buy the game so I really have no idea what's they're doing.

I'll be honest just from those screens I think a dolphin-rendered Wind Waker looks better. Too much bloom. The genius of the WW art style was the shading. Compare:   That said, everything else in this Nintendo Direct is awesome, can't wait!

I think they're 30 cent trials that might basically be full versions, but they only last a month. So if you somehow don't finish the game or download it late or just want to keep it, you can pay your 7 bux or whatever to actually own it after that month. I think.

Rethinking the linearity of dungeons in the new Zelda made me think of Zelda 1 and its ability to go to chose a dungeon order. I know a bunch of people here have expressed interest in Nintendo doing that again.

FPzero posted:I was just replaying a part of the Direct that lagged out for me and after the SMT x FE video, Iwata mentioned that there are more of these collaborations in development and that he will let us know of more as time goes by. Considering I don't think anyone managed to predict Samurai Warriors X Pokemon nor this one, I can only imagine what else is in store down the road. F-Zero x NASCAR Metroid x Aliens Luigi x Silent Hill Pokemon x Monster Hunter This is fun.

Paper_Masochist posted:Nintendo has truly entered another golden era. I don't know what else to say. Hey now, there's some great announcements there, but there's also a sign that Nintendo will never, ever improve on their policy regarding downloadable content. You will have to rebuy all of your VC games from the Wii and, sure, there's a discount, but that's not how these things work -- it's not how either Valve or Sony do these things. Everything you buy now will also continue to be stuck on one system because their account system didn't turn out to be an actual account system. Don't shower them with praise yet. I am, however, excited for the next Monolith project. I'm really glad Nintendo continues to employ them. Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Jan 23, 2013 |

Having an actual HD Wind Waker also benefits those whose PCs can't run Dolphin. Also, 99% of the general Wii U install base.

Atlus have turned out a pair of very good SRPG's in the form of the Devil Survivor games in the last few years, so the mixup isn't entirely unbelievable.

flyboi posted:The Xeno series always had mechs players could use up until Xenoblade Chronicles. You shut your dirty mouth. The red X implies it likely takes place in the Xenogears universe, they never once used that red X outside of the first one. Dont count on it being anything to do with the original xenogears unless they somehow got the rights from SE. Either way, I'd rather they continue to do their own thing in the vain of xenoblade than try to hamfist a "deep" story like they tried to do with xenogears/xenosaga.

With a quad i5 and a 2 year old mid-range graphics card, I ran Wind Waker at 2560x1440 resolution with silky smooth FPS. It sometimes takes playing with different Dolphin builds to find the right fit, though. But it's worth it. Skyward Sword in 1440p resolution was breathtaking. One of my favorite gaming experiences of the last few years.

The other part of the Wind Waker announcement was that they intend to use it as a launch point for younger gamers, presumably those young kids that got a shiny new Wii U for Christmas, to jump into the Zelda franchise for the first time. At least, that's what Iwata said.

The upgrade pricing for VC games purchased on the Wii really puts me at ease. I can buy stuff now and just take the ~$1 hit if it ends up on the Wii U VC later. I mean I'll avoid the obvious heavy hitter games that are guaranteed to show up, but now I can go ahead and buy some of the more out-of-the-way titles that I've been itching to play. What I'm saying is: Welcome to my adult living room, Kirby's Dream Course.  Has there been any indication that WiiWare titles would be coming to the Wii U VC? There's a bunch of stuff there I'm interested in. Again, the same rule applies where I may as well buy them now if the worst-case-scenario is a slim upgrade fee.

Well I guess I should probably dig my Wii back out of the closet and do the system transfer now. For whatever reason it wouldn't connect to my new router, so I couldn't download the transfer app. At least I'll have access to my rather substantial VC collection again. What is it you need? Just an SD card with at least 1 GB free for in the Wii U?

I'm still afraid to do a transfer due to the fact I got a bootloader to play Xenoblade. I know Nintendo hadn't done anything about it yet but yet I don't care to bank on.

I wouldn't take the HD Wind Waker screens too seriously yet. Notice how the water is just completely blue with none of the white ripples the original game had in the water. You would end up staring at a featureless blue void while sailing, which I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone takes up a large chunk of the game. I would really love it if they gave this game the NiGHTS HD remake treatment, and allowed you to choose between HD Wind Waker and Gamecube Wind Waker But In 1080p. That would sell it for me so hard. The game is already gorgeous and though I like what I see here I'm a little nervous about what they're doing with it. I'm optimistic about things, though! Neddy Seagoon posted:The only real question now is if Wind Waker HD will come with a second disc that has remakes of Ocarina of Time and Master Quest. I would poo poo myself. That was how I played Ocarina of Time for the first time and I still consider it one of the greatest preorder bonuses of all time. nerdbot fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Jan 23, 2013 |

SD in WIIu run app 3. put in Wii run app 4. put back in Wiiu hit 'transfer'
