Any word on if they incorporated the Tingle Tuner into the game at all?
Click to expand...

None. There's various other things they haven't highlighted either such as the rearranged soundtrack. So it's still possible it'll be there.

Also, at the very least, the special Knuckle Tingle quest would have to be modified if they completely axed the Tingle Tuner.

Aww man. Is Hero Mode not like Master Quest? It's just enemies doing double damage?

Double damage and no hearts spawn from grass.

This game has bloom.

Furthermore, it will cause me to turn GTA V off and play nonstop, on hero mode, until it is completed.

I'm fucking hyped. Going til 4AM on Thursday night/Friday morning, at LEAST.

Can't wait for my retail copy next month.

Really nice OP, although it would be neat if the remastered soundtrack and the
streamlined Triforce hunt
got a mention.

Same, I hate this new "eShop first" kick Nintendo has been on lately. I bought the bullet and got New Super Luigi U on there because I didn't want to wait three months, but I won't with WW HD. Waiting two weeks sucks, but it's more bearable at least.

Super luigi u was intended to be dlc. The disc is limited edition.

Great op.

That new features list is still pretty sad.

You're right. Hey OP, maybe use this list instead: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=80431141&postcount=735

- Widescreen 1080p with complete re-rendered/drawn textures, a brand new lighting engine, and a variety of new graphical effects
- Redone music, emphasis on still sounding like "Wind Waker" while improving samples and incorporating new elements
- Select "hero mode" at any time on file select to double enemy damage and remove recovery hearts
- Five of the eight Triforce pieces are now found in the chests that used to contain maps to their sunken locations, eliminating the need to acquire 1990 rupees to decipher the charts
- The Wind Waker can be conducted via the GamePad touchscreen, and the second playthrough of a song you conduct has been removed, speeding up the process of conducting any song
- After playing the Wind's Requiem in your boat, the camera pans behind Link, and points in the direction you want the wind to go, instead of panning above him with an arrow
- You can acquire the "Swift Sail" relatively early on in the game, which doubles the speed the King of Red Lions sails when you press the A button (this only works because the entire ocean is now loaded in RAM at once, so there is no need to sail slow while loading new areas)
- Improved draw distance on the Great Sea
- The Wind Waker, boat cannon, and boat grapple for pulling up treasure are all mapped to directions on the d-pad, so they no longer require equipping and the taking up of button-inventory space. You also no longer need to equip the sail, it is mapped to the A button when you are in the boat.
- When aiming the cannon in the boat, you now have an aiming reticule
- The clouds over the great sea have been completely redesigned in a more lush and realistic style, while remaining fully weather-dynamic
- You can walk while in first-person, and walk while aiming items like the bow and arrow
- You can aim your first-person items using the GamePad gyroscope, like in OOT3D (useful for fine tweaking once you use the stick to put the cursor in the general place you want it)
- The pictobox now holds up to 12 photos, increased from 3
- The pictobox displays a "Great!" emblem when you successfully take a picture of a character to have a figure made, so you know if your photo was good enough without having to take it to the guy first
- You can use the pictobox to take "selfies," where Link holds the camera towards himself to take a photo of himself and what's behind him
- The touchscreen inventory on the GamePad allows for easier assigning of items to buttons
- You can find bottles on the beach that contain messages from other Wind Waker players via Miiverse, and put your own messages in the sea the same way
- When sailing, you can have the map on the GamePad screen, making it much easier to position your boat when looking for treasure. The treasure map you have will display smaller next to your main map, so you can place your boat in the correct place. You used to have to keep pulling the map up over and over, often overshooting your point.
- When you start the game, your wallet's maximum capacity is 500 rupees, rather than 200
- Grappling hook animation cut down to less than half of its previous duration, both on land and when dredging up treasure in your boat
- Sped up text boxes, and removed repetitive explanation for how to equip new items
- Option to play the entire game off-TV on the GamePad

If it wasnt for the statue and historia I wouldn't bother giving Nintendo money for this. Im damn tired of Nintendo "remakes". The only company I know of that advertises their enhanced ports as remakes.

I really want this game, but since I just replayed the GC version and don't own a WiiU it's looking like I won't get it. At least not for now. The price is just too high.

Looks amazing though!

Seems like they tweaked a number of things to help make the game feel quicker overall. Little things like the grappling hook animation don't seem obvious, but I'm sure will feel great in game.

That Ganondorf figure is hot

I'm looking forward to reliving this game vicariously through everyone who will be playing it in this thread

Whenever I get a Wii U, I'm sure this will be one of the first games I acquire

Preordered the Ganondorf bundle. Damn that ugly USK rating though. Why must all of Eurooe suffer with that :(

Was there figurines of Link in the original? With the selfies, they could add some!
Click to expand...

If you got all the figurines, the final one
is King of Red Lions and Link, based on the official artwork of the original Gamecube NA cover

I cannot believe that three of my favorite games growing up (Mario 64, Kirby Super Star, and this) have had remakes within the past ten years

What sorcery is this?!?

Pretty nice OT, OP! :D

Can't wait to play this game again. Love the new style! Can't wait to take all the pictures (selfies included!) and grab all the figurines! :D
