It's probably pretty safe to assume they didn't update Wind Waker HD's soundtrack, isn't it? I figure if they had put the effort into that it would've been touted as a selling point by now.  I know they didn't touch Ocarina of Time's soundtrack, but was holding out hope for WW.

Ugly In The Morning posted:You get a gold banana for beating the original DK with 3 lives. They really should have reversed the rewards for beating it on 3 lives and one life. I was so pumped for the old school games being in DK64, and had a lot of fun at first, but it's not fun having to play them for hours to get to beat the actual game. The way it worked is after you beat it once you had to beat a harder version of it to get the Nintendo coin. MykonosFan posted:It's probably pretty safe to assume they didn't update Wind Waker HD's soundtrack, isn't it? I figure if they had put the effort into that it would've been touted as a selling point by now. The weird thing about OOT's 3DS soundtrack is that originally they were going to remix some tracks, but instead recreated the originals as closely as possible. I think Kondo was the one responsible for that call. The end credits theme is the only track that ended up being noticeably changed. jonjonaug fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Aug 29, 2013 |

Macaluso posted:$50 for an HD remake of any game is ridiculous. Can you imagine if they tried to sell the Remastered Ducktales for $50 instead of $15 (and even then some people thought 15 was too much). Did you really just compare Duck Tails HD to Wind Waker HD? How is a game that takes an hour or less to beat comparable to Wind Waker? If they took the original Zelda on the NES and made it HD and tried to sell it for $50 dollars then maybe you would have a point. Ducktales HD and Wind Waker aren't comparable at all. Pokemon Rumble U came out today right? Did anyone go to Gamestop and buy any of the figures?

Commissar Ken posted:This is late but the closest thing i've played to a classic N64 Collectathon game in awhile was Lego City actually. Tons of secrets and extras and they're almost all well hidden and involve goofy platforming poo poo to get to them. Kinda scratched that itch for me. I do have Lego City, but I never thought of it that way. Though the game itself is drat fun and is totally worth the money I spent for it! DarkHamsterlord posted:I was always really baffled that they made Donkey Kong and Jetpac requirements. You'd think they would just each give you a gold banana, rather than items required to reach the final boss. Ah yes, the reasons why the Nintendo and Rareware Coins were so hard for me at the beginning. Nowadays, I could probably beat Donkey Kong without much trouble, but Jetpac could be a bit harder.

But whatever it was the most recent remake I could think of. How about that Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes remake that came out for Gamecube that had a bunch of extra features? How much did that cost? Amazon currently has it listed at around $40 used and assuming it was around there when it came out, I still think that's too much for a remake. Not that I have a stake in any of this any way because I don't own a WiiU right now I just think Wind Waker HD is overpriced.

Not terribly related but I got my Red Wiimote today, its completely legit, though there is a spot on the battery cover where it looks like the previous owner's dog chewed on it. Pretty sure it came from Japan since they sell Red as a normal color there, but it'll work fine with my Wii U so no trouble. Now just to get a Red Classic Controller and I never have to buy another Wii Controller ever again.

Amazon currently has it listed at around $40 used and assuming it was around there when it came out, I still think that's too much for a remake. Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes was a full priced release. So was Resident Evil Remake. Both were effectively new games. They even redid all the voice acting for Metal Gear. There is basically nothing of the original game in there except for the basic structure and design. The problem with going "I don't look at length" is that it is fine, but that doesn't mean that every game has an equal budget or that all remakes are made in the exact same fashion. Ducktales is a low-budget remake of a simple NES game. Comparing it to a full remake of a Playstation 1 game is silly. They're don't have the same amount of manhours or money put into them.

Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid were remade from the ground up. They used completely new art assets, engines, and voice overs, as well as significantly changed how the games were played. Wind Waker HD is closer to the Resident Evil 2 and 3 ports to the Gamecube.

This makes me think of the Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD remake. It will have both (+30 hours) games on one disc, completely redone models, and most of the music will be remixed. Now that is something I'd pay full price for.

AngryCaterpillar posted:All of Nintendo's first party games get released on it, and Nintendo's games tend to be small, like 3-5 GB. It's up to other publishers if they want to release on the eShop. Something like Tekken can be up to 17 GB. Well I'd have the 25GB of the Deluxe since I'd get the Wind Waker system. As for more storage thanks for the info but drat, they only support Terabyte drives? I don't want to spend a hundred bucks on a drive I'd use at MOST 10-20% of. Laaaaaaame.

Is one box like 18 figures, or is it like 100 figures and guaranteed one of every piece? I need to swing buy and pick some up for my wife, and if that's the easiest and cheapest way to get all the figures I'd like to do that. But I can't afford a 100 fig case. I can afford an 18 figure case. Tried finding the info myself, but my works websense is deterring me. *edit* Found an unboxing video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq3RJFkB7Qg The full box does not in fact get you each of the 18 mons.

I wasn't hip enough to buy a figure or two for shits and giggles, so I just bought that PS3 DuckTales Remastered physical thing instead with the Scrooge McDuck pin, even though I already bought DuckTales Remastered on the Wii U eShop. I think it was for the best, to be honest. No Psyduck, no buy.

Mercury Crusader posted:No Psyduck, no buy. That's my favorite Bob Marley song. Man, I wasn't keeping track of release dates. W101, Zelda, and GTAV are all coming out pretty near one another. This is how you actually tell Summer is ending. The end-of-year game rush begins. I suppose if you're gonna kick it off, kick it off in style. Actually really excited to go back to Wind Waker. Think that might've been the last Zelda game I actually finished. Twilight Princess dragged on and Skyward Sword was just frustrating bullshit (gave up when I had to collect gubbins at the volcano. Hated those segments). Also, gonna be great seeing what kind of selfies people take. Really glad Nintendo decided to give Link multiple expressions. Bug-eyed Toon Link is the best Link.

whaley posted:I gotta say, "A Hat in Time" looks really bad. No idea why anyone cares about it, and I played the hell out of collectathon games when I was younger. Looks horribly sloppy and outdated. If the Kickstarter didn't say BANJO KAZOOIE every other word I can't imagine anyone caring. It also has the problem of the lead designer having a pretty bad track record involving drama and plagiarism. He also is pretty bad at not keeping what he promised with a ton of things, so there's a chance that A Hat in Time could completely fall apart and not come out. If anyone's actually looking forward to that game, you should probably lower your hopes a bit.

Is there a place to view the Wii U store (up to date, I've found some listings from 9 months ago)from a PC with game sizes so I could say "I'd want this this and this, so that would take up X space" and make a decision from there?
