Nintendo is like Capcom in that they both have generators powered entirely by human suffering, only while Capcom's is fueled by the tears of Mega Man fans Nintendo's uses Earthbound.

And both together combine their powers for Monster Hunter.

GBA emulation might just be a bit easier on the Wii U than the 3DS. Weren't some of the ambassador titles a little shaky?

Regardless, I like that they're finally willing to put handheld games on a console VC.

I don't think emulation is the hold-up so much as general mishandling that has beset the Nintendo digital stores for years now. There are multiple NES Ambassador titles that are still not in the eShop.

Can you imagine playing poker against Boshi? You'd lose every time.

Well, the first time. After he wins something he tends to shut it down and declare himself ruler of the island, which would probably hurt replay value.

Smithy was kind of an underwhelming boss. I heartily endorse a sequel with a foe worthy of the Mario franchise.

Incidentally, the Wind Waker shots show Link standing with Tetra in Skyfall Island.

Did this scene happen in the original game? Even if it didn't, it may only be there for demo purposes and not actually reflect any changes. But it would kind of kick rear end if you could play as Tetra and use a different fighting style than Link.

It's just plopping a model in an environment for a screenshot. They didn't even have any moving video of the game so I imagine it is quite early on.

I'd buy that, though they should totally throw Luigi in (even though he isn't a reject) and make him a bigger weirdo.

Also, it's such a Nintendo move to charge you more money to play VC games in Wii U mode. On any other system this would be free. (Watch when the next XBOX comes out and they don't charge to redownload XBLA games)

This unquestionably needs to happen. Just flip Link and Tetra in the story. Would it really matter?

I've been agreeing with the Internet minority that says The Legend of Zelda series needs to go bi-gender: Link saves Princess Zelda or Zelda saves Prince Link.

Pretty sure it's just for the tech demo, it also uses the brown sleeved Link that pre-release versions of Wind Waker used rather than the light green sleeves in the main game.

Goddamn X looks like Xenoblade on steroids, guess I'm buying a Wii U when that comes out.

Wind Waker HD is cool but if they don't increase the difficulty or (add any new content which they 99% won't) i'm not interested. Zelda games are super fun when they're challenging and the fights in WW are some of the best Zelda combat except everything hits you for a quarter of a heart.

Hoping the next LoZ has Zelda as the gamepad, casting spells, and Link as the wiimote, tanking the mobs. Local co-op with loved ones needs to happen. Also why I'm excited for Game & Wario.

edit: This would make WW more appropriate, with the last battle with Gannondorf being essentially what I want out of a future Zelda game.

Edit2: Imagine having to angle the gamepad a certain way to bounce Links sword blasts to hit mobs from different angles. Or casting bubble spells on Link as he swims through fire.

Edit3: Using the stylus to draw spell ruins. I'm getting sad because this won't happen.

It won't happen, but just imagine, a week before it comes out, Nintendo says "oh, by the way, we put those two dungeons back in and doubled KORL's max speed."

Really hoping GBA VC is for 3DS as well as it potentially coming out on Wii U.

Having the games at all is nice, but it's going to be weird having half of my handheld virtual collection on a handheld and half of it on a console if they don't do GBA VC on 3DS.

So years ago, we got an awesome tech demo showing off what the Gamecube was capable of and ended up getting a(n awesome) game that looked nothing like it. Years later, when the Wii U was announced, we got another tech demo showing off what an HD Zelda could be and instead we get Wind Waker again!

Still, can't wait to see what the full game will look like.

It sure is nice that Balloon Fight is running at an appropriate aspect ratio. Between that, the restore point feature from the 3DS VC games, and having the option to play on the pad, I won't feel too bad re-purchasing/updating my Wii VC library to Wii U as they come down the pike.

So that THQ stuff is mostly done now, and not only did Nintendo not buy Vigil (or anyone/anything else), no one else wanted them so they've shut down :smith:

On the bright side there's word that Platinum wants to get the Darksiders IP on the cheap, which would be great for that franchise after 2 being a bit disappointing.

e: gently caress, the lead designer on both Darksiders games said they wanted Darksiders 3 to be 4 player coop, but that ship's sailed now. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME!

The only time Tetra goes to Windfall is during the scene where they go to pick up bombs before heading back down to Outset. It's night time and raining so no, that scene doesn't happen. Probably just set up as an example of what the new character models look like.
