Well poo on that. Just found something for you European fans though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL7OiHU6Y48 Wind Waker HD Limited Edition AKA "This one comes with a badass Ganondorf statue thing". Crossing fingers for a US version / not costing $120.

MykonosFan posted:The most exciting bit of this for me is the hope that Wind Waker HD is coming out on September 20th, instead of the October 4th release date gaming sites were just talking about a few days ago. Man I would totally buy this if it came packaged with W101 instead. As it is I can't really justify spending 300 bucks then another 60 on top of that to play W101, especially since I don't want to wait five more days because I'm impatient as gently caress and can get a regular Wii U for 210 bucks used instead.

Oh yeah WWHD was listed as fifty, then went up to sixty and now it's back down to fifty again right? Wonder if they dropped the MSRP by ten for some reason or if it was always going to be fifty. Either way that's still probably too much for a lot of people. There's not even a limited editi-MykonosFan posted:Well poo on that. Just found something for you European fans though. Oh God damnit. Also I like how they don't even try to hide Ganon being in the game anymore. I don't know why but when the game originally came out they didn't show him off at all in any of the promotional materials like his existence was some kind of secret.

If you don't know by now that Ganon is in the game and has one of the most famous video game moments where he turns to stone getting stabbed through the head just by osmosis, then you probably just started video games.

Well that leads me to something I forgot to mention. If you were subscribed to the Nintendo e-mail spam newsletters they sent out one in particular the day the game came out to tell everyone it was release day. But the image at the top of it was that official artwork of Ganon fighting Link and Zelda on top of his tower.

Insanely, I don't even really care for Zelda and I still remember. It's not very often you see a dude get a sword shoved into his skull and he turns to stone, but boy is it magical when it happens.

DarkHamsterlord posted:That would be hilarious, because then Nintendo's release schedule would put W101 in direct competition with GTAV and Wind Waker HD. Nintendo doesn't have enough games, now they are coming out too close to each other! Stupid Nintendo... Lets just not release any games until March 2014 because it will be in direct competition with anything.

I think it's time to accept that when the Wonderful 101 comes out and does incredibly poorly, GTA and a pack-in remake won't have had as much to do with it as one would like to believe.

W101 wasn't going to do fabulous sales no matter what happened, but jesus I didn't think it would be THIS BAD. I know most people don't own a Wii U, but 5000? That's insane.

Wonderful 101 is going to do poorly because it really hasn't been advertised beyond gaming/nintendo websites and the only people who frequent those are the sort who would also try the game's demo and realize it is not nearly as good of a game as everybody wants it to be.

Seriously bummed about that WW WiiU bundle, I'm a huge sucker for the Zelda games and that game pad would look great with the LE control from Skyward Sword. But no, I buy it launch and get like 3 games and miss out on the baller gamepad that is also considerably cheaper and comes with the game I want.

I don't know about you, but I only play one game at a time and finish it completely, then buy the next game that comes out. I can't be playing a game that's a week old, my neighbors kids will make fun of me.

Man that WW bundle looks so drat tempting. I've bought every single Nintendo thing since the gameboy friggin color solely to play a Zelda game... I just kind of wish it was anything besides Wind Waker. I couldn't even watch Cosmo destroy it yesterday without getting bored.

Dixie looks a tad daft. I'm very excited to play this though. Crazy to think that in a few weeks a stream of games I can't wait to play are finally coming out for the Wii U. My wallet aches in anticipation.

I will probably jump on that because I still have my classic wiimotes without motion plus on them. also is that zelda 3ds game the Legend of Zelda Link to the past one?

Red posted:I might've missed it, but to those of you who bought DuckTales: did you love it, or get tired of it in an hour? I've only gotten to play two levels so far but I've really enjoyed it. The gameplay is the same as the NES version. It's cheesy but there's a story newly included which gives some context to why Scrooge is in the amazon or the moon. The main complaints I've seen are about that story but eh, I don't really find it too bad and you can skip the cutscenes if you want.
