You DD guys are so lucky.

It's taking all my willpower not to watch the Cosmo stream until I pick up my bundle tomorrow.

 

[BY2K]

15 minutes!

 

[Yuripaw]

I don't know if this has been said already, but do we have any idea the file size that the eshop version is going to be? If not, can someone report on it when it goes live.

It is around 2GB.

 

[Lumyst]

I really want to see the Earth Temple and the ReDeads again! That's one of the things I'm most looking forward to. They looked so comical like emaciated African villagers, that's the only way I can describe them as weird as that sounds.

If you like the eShop music you can listen to it now: http://en.twitch.tv/cosmowright

No seriously, Cosmo ist doing a 24h livestream of Wind Waker HD.

 

[MatthewB92]

It is around 2GB.

Really that's it? Shouldn't take long to download i hope......

The original game fit on a disc that could only hold 1.5GB so it's not that surprising.

 

[entremet]

Godspeed, DD bros.

Would love to join you, but Nintendo needs a real account system.

I was on the "$50 is too much for a remake" skeptic wagon, but, what the hell -- This is my favorite 3D zelda, and the last time I played it was around when it came out. I guess I'm in.

lol, well currently it might be a 6 hour stream of a download bar, and 18 hours of wind waker with the way things are going at the moment for him.

 

[sphagnum]

Haha, Cosmo has a 6 hour download.

 

[Tunic]

Downloading right now, saying 4 hours 35 minutes. Wonder why it is going so slow for me...

 

[Anth0ny]

[Busaiku]

October 4th club represent!

 

[Otnopolit]

Downloading!!

My internet ain't all that great so I'm at an hour and a half here.

 

[abstract alien]

ugh I just bought it

why do I have to love Zelda so much

I didn't even want to by it. I hate replaying games like Zelda. But it's Zelda, so I'm stupid and can't control myself.

 

[Coconut]

Outside of the goofy decal on the gamepad, is there anything else that is distinctive about the console bundle?

It comes with wind Waker.

 

[brandonh83]

I got it even though I managed to get a reservation on the limited edition, and I'm playing GTA5, FF14, and Wonderful 101 which is more than enough to keep me occupied for the next few weeks. Yet, I just bought it. FUCK.

 

[knkng]

Woohoo downloading. 18 mins, not bad at all.

 

[BY2K]

This is the most people I've seen online at once on my 70+ friends list, I shit you not.

 

[Coldsnap]

So what other Wii U games are good? Now that I'm gonna buy a system for this. Would be nice if the games have good FPS, coming from PC locked 60 fps.

Welp, it's too late now. Let's brag about having it before retail and post on Miiverse to make ourselves feel better.

 

[Bleep]

Anyone know the AU release date?

October 5th.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Woohoo downloading. 18 mins, not bad at all.

Don't take that at face value, mine's said 26 minutes for the last ten minutes...hahah.

Dat system seller.

 

[CrisKre]

Downloading bitches!

[knkng]

It's slowed down a tad, but still moving at a good click. 40%, 12 mins to go.

 

[friskykillface]

hmmmmm i wonder if people will put the digital code included with the console for $30-$40 on ebay and etc.

might be tempted



until then gotta wait for my superior ganon figure

 

[Dartastic]

I'm waiting for the retail version. I like having my boxes, and it's the same price.

 

[Coldsnap]

How much space is the downloaded game? Just wondering how far the 32gig wii u will get me.
