I want more info on the SMT X Fire Emblem game
[spoiler=honest opinion]
as much as i love wind waker, i couldn't see myself spending more than $20 on a mere hd port, let alone justify the cost of a whole new console for it
the only thing that nintendo could possibly do to make me excited about this is actually finish the game
i want to experience those dungeons that were very obviously scrapped, i want to see what they would have done with the triforce hunt had there been no time restrictions on ww's dev team
a completed version of wind waker would very easily earn its position as my favorite 3d zelda game, but i know nintendo and i know that this will just be a strict hd port with """new play controls""" and perhaps (if we're really lucky) an updated soundtrack and nothing more awdood;[/spoiler]

At least this HD port already has more than most other HD ports that other consoles are getting: new models and textures. nyandood;
i have to be honest, this revamped version of wind waker looks rather ugly. it looks less cellshaded and more like it's supposed to mimic claymation smithicide;

yeah, this, there's just something off about it and the colors are really saturated and cslvmld;ve :'(
hopefully they'll do some tweaking since it's probably only in the early stages of development, though
Wind Waker HD looks awful with that lighting. It looks like the models were loaded into Garry's Mod.
honestly if you want an hd wind waker, just emulate it with dolphin
Also, I wish SMT would've been combined with a better series.
Captain Falcon adventure game with SMT demons y/n
When Iwata talks about Miiverse, he often refers to players/users as "customers"
and he says "Please understand the situation" when mentioning that not the entire Virtual Console library will be available from launch
and "I apologize to those supporting Wii U about the lack of new titles from Nintendo in January and February"
Is the Virtual Console logo new? I've never seen it before.
Perhaps notable, Virtual Console does have the ability to play on GamePad screen (which, by the way, is SD resolution)
During a special campaign of sorts (celebrating Famicom anniversary), they're releasing one NES game on VC per month and charging only $0.30 to buy that game during a limited 30-day sale (which, of course, is only available to early console adopters) after release until it raises to the regular NES game price.
Regular prices closer to these discounted $0.30 and $1.00 would actually help justify buying VC games instead of emulating.
I think it was announced before, but this stream 'revealed' Miiverse for smartphones, detailing that at first they're making a browser page intended for mobile browsers before later releasing a Miiverse app.
they claimed a "steady stream" of games from March through summer and mentioned, in order, Game & Wario, Wii Fit U, Pikmin 3, Lego City, The Wonderful 101
Am I alone in actually liking the way Wind Waker HD looks? confuseddood;

i hope so
The point of Wind Waker was to simulate the look of a cartoon. This remake just looks shiny and weird, and it has that ugly plastic feel of Super Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart Wii.
it ruins everything about the original's style akudood;
why the fuck did they make wind waker look so shiny madood;
yoshi game looks cool
mario kart and new 3d mario might turn out interesting but probably not
Wind Waker HD is the only reason I'd buy a Wii U before a price drop of some sort.
I'm really excited for the Wind Waker remake, they just need to tweak the lighting a bit.
Yarn Yoshi and Xeno-something look great, and SMTxFE, Mario, Mario Kart, and Zelda U should all be awesome as well.
Plus we all know Sony's going to collapse soon so I think I'm going to go ahead and get a Wii U this year goodjob;
smt x fe should be awesome, although it's definitely kind of a weird combination lol
modern setting with demons backed by real-life mythology x high fantasy setting???
still, should be cool
also, about wind waker, while i do prefer the way it looks already, i don't think the new look is "bad" so much as it's just too different. like i dunno, the environments look nice, but the character models are a bit weird.
i also see it as very unnecessary because the game already looks absolutely gorgeous through component cables

Looking closer up, the character models actually look pretty similar to the originals. I stand by the idea that it's just the lighting that makes everything look weird
but ya a Majora's Mask or even A Link to the Past remake would have been better
the lighting is definitely weird, i noticed that more after seeing a collage of screenshots on tumblr
all nintendo needs to do is add in more brown to the game and it's truly a #nextgen game in all its #bloom&brown glory
they already did that with twilight princess ifeelbetter;
It all looks more vibrant, you guys are crazy.

the scenery looks a lot better the characters look kinda weird but pretty good. i will probably never buy this.

the environments look like they're taken from sonic generations, but the characters look like they're loaded into the source engine
I'll be getting Windwaker HD. Next to Majora's Mask, this is my second favorite.
I like the SMT series and am just now getting into Fire Emblem, so I'm actually interested in this.
Yarn Yoshi is cute but I doubt I'll get it.
I'm happy to hear Mario Kart U is on the way. Seriously. Just the confirmation itself made me happy.
I'm excited to see what they'll do for the next Mario game.
Game and Wario, Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 are some of my most anticipated games.

Did you play Kirby's Epic Yarn? I really liked that game and it looks likely that most of Yoshi's gameplay will be quite similar.

I enjoyed Epic Yarn. I just don't like Yoshi and didn't like Yoshi Story.. If the game is good I'll check it out.

do you like smt, or do you just like persona
who's to say that even matters? "smt" at this point could mean literally anything in the franchise because they now use that title on everything regardless of whether it's core smt or a spinoff series
it may very well have little to do with the way the core smt games play goowan
Lauren told me yesterday she is planning on getting me a Wii U so all these game announcements are exciting as hell. Only thing is it probably won't be until a price drop unless we went on it together.

Um, not really. They stopped labeling the Persona series in America with SMT beginning with Persona 4 Arena.
imo WW HD looks more dull

how the fuck
you're a die-hard nintendo fanboy and you don't like yoshi's island?
wow
I like Yoshi's Island....I said I don't like Yoshi Story.
That game was my biggest regret purchase on the VC and maybe in gaming in general.

Ugly or not it's just another rehash of an old game. Not very satisfying.
