Anyone got twilight princess HD yet?
Ya, I'm a big fan of Twilight Princess. If you liked it in the beginning, it's great now. While the bigger areas are ugly as sin, the smaller ones are actually kinda pretty and now in HD. I was playing through the intro forest area this morning. Kinda looking forward to the dungeons I thought really looked nice in the original. (like the Poe dungeon)

No idea, I guess they don't want to have to animate every character for every event.

To be fair the Japanese direct showed nearly a full battle which uh, you know.

Yep all you got was coins. No exp. and the EU one should a little bit of the screen after you flicked a card. It looks like you have a hand which could possibly mean that instead of having all the cards you picked up available, you have a random hand dealt to you out of a deck you build with these cards. Maybe it means they are reusable?

they do that for the handheld versions. the wii u version will likely not limit them to any specific events

On the 3DS version, which is what that site is for. I haven't been able to figure out if the Wii U game will have the same limitation.

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

I remember reading a review of sonic rush that said there was a lot of bullshit hazards at the bottom of hills that you have to trial and error learn.

Game was borderline ruined for me by that revelation and I couldn't stop noticing it.

All sonic almost ruined for me. Now you've caught it too.

Sonic Rush is a great game that in my top 5 DS games. The gameplay, music, and levels were solid and most review I seen of it give 8-9 out of 10.

Also watching the direct for the Colour Splash thing makes me very excited. I enjoyed Super Paper Mario a lot. I think the whole flat characters aesthetic is really, really original and the game looks beautiful!

Started Twilight Princess last night. As has been discussed plenty of times before, if you hated it to begin with, there's nothing new worth revisiting. If you've never played it and are curious, definitely go right ahead.

I agree with the other poster that the smaller areas look amazing. Newbie town looks really good, a quaint charming mountain village with goats. The little waterfall section also looks fantastic in HD. Runs in 60FPS 95% of time from what I've played so far. Looks really great on your giant rear end TV, not so great on the WiiU pad. You can push minus to quick flip between TV and pad only mode. It also asks right at the beginning if you want to use Gamepad or pro controller, which is nice.

Overall I'm happy, but unless you like Twilight Princess, it's probably not worth the $50 entry fee. It's not as big of an upgrade as Majora Mask or Ocarina of Time was.

Uh, all Ocarina of Time did was a straight port of the original game and Master Mode. They didn't change a thing otherwise, save for the boots.

I guess I ment in terms of the graphical upgrades those games made. It was remade from the ground up whereas TP is just hi-rezed, or whatever.

Which version are we talking about? The 3DS version of Ocarina certainly made more changes than that.

They added gyroscope aiming, a hint system, boss refights and fixed some bugs (like that one upgrade that used to be lost forever if you didn't get it before picking up the Master Sword). Not really game-changers like the Swift Sail in Wind Waker HD, but not a straight graphical upgrade either. And I'm probably forgetting some stuff.

I pretty much missed the entire hint system because I'd beaten the game a couple times before, but I know at least one person who used it extensively, so I guess it can be useful for new players.

Here's a big list, but I can think of one they didn't - the outside of the happy mask shop in Castle Town was totally redone. That's not significant per se, but it jumped out at me. There are a lot of little changes that were made.

I think my problem is I was stuck thinking of the larger changes like the revamped boss fights and other things Majora's Mask did, rather than the quality-of-life stuff they did for Ocarina of Time.
