New Zelda Wind Waker HD videos

Thing is how do YOU know what Nintendo's wholesale price is? You're passing this off as fact without providing any information as to how you even would know this.

You can look at the prices of games all around Europe, that's usually more than telling what the wholesale price is. In fact, the European videogame market is pretty competitive, margins aren't that high when videogames are your core business and you are forced to sell your copies.

I assume that you don't live here. All retailers adding a Zelda tax is absolutely ridiculous though, our market does not have an oligarchal structure and as soon as one retailer starts to drop the price, the other major players follow. As a big Wii U fan, you could have observed this with Pikmin 3 and the Wii U system itself. When one retailer dropped the price of Pikmin 3 down to €40, many others followed.

If you want me to tell you where I work, I'm not gonna do that. But well, you can guess that I do work at a European retailer which also happens to sell videogames (not as a core business).

This is actually all you needed to say upfront to avoid all the arguing.
 
If the music in the video was the in-game music, it sounds a lot higher quality than the original.
 
Two new videos on Nintendo's youtube channel

I think the music may have been redone in the same manner as OOT3D. (I could be wrong).

So good

sorry about shitty y2gif quality
 
Dat bloom

I will definitely buy this on release day. I loved WW back then and with new graphics and in HD i can love it even more now.
 
I hope something about bloom is in the OT subtitle.

The Legend of Zelda WW HD |OT| The Wind...It is...Blooming...
The Legend of Zelda WW HD |OT| There! On the horizon! Bloom!
The Legend of Zelda WW HD |OT| As for our destination... The bloom will guide us!
The Legend of Zelda WW HD |OT| Expose this land to the bloom of the sun once more!
The Legend of Zelda WW HD |OT| I can see this girl's dreams... Oceans... Bloom... Bloom... Bloom... Bloom as far as the eye can see.
The Legend of Zelda WW HD |OT| Tingle, Tingle, Bloom-limpah!
don't laugh

I like the first.
 
Sorry for double post but some new gameplay footage has been posted up . I don't have an ear for these things, but I keep hearing from people that they think some of the music has been updated.

I like the neon effect the bloom has in some dark, interior places. Increases atmosphere little and looks nice. Although I think it's a bit overdone and unnecessary in some areas like the last pic below. More heat=more bloom I guess.

There's a Tumblr post comparing some of the music. They definitely gave it an update.
 

I should probably get my ears checked
and learn about music
because I can barely tell the difference, but I can appreciate that they made the effort for those who can. If someone hadn't told me they'd been updated though I don't think I'd have noticed.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD |OT| I coveted that bloom, I suppose.

How about:

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD |OT| Nintendo is bloomed.


Man, gonna be a tough choice for OP.
 
The new footage looks amazing. It shows the the vast difference in the usage of bloom between in- and outdors. Aonuma mentioned the HD Remake should give the players a strong feeling of a tropical overworld with really strong sunlight. The footage shows just that.
 
I think this is thread worthy, especially with all the bitching and moaning about how lazy this port is.

Yeah, it's definitely redone music. I've watched Cosmo enough times to have the songs in their original form memorized on how they sound lol.

So yes, they did redo the music (at least some, the battle music sounds pretty samey but the jingle for when you pick up treasure from under the water is vastly different).
 
I think this looks absolutely gorgeous ;.; The bloom does look overdone, but given that I've just seen it in quick cuts from areas with no bloom to ones with lots of bloom, I imagine it will be a lot more naturalized when I'm actually playing it. Hopefully, anyway.

But it's coming so soon after W101, that's just cruel.
