Bloom to every WW HD thread is what Breaking Bad is to the Dexter OT.

Enough already, we get it.

It's one thing to hear it over and over, but from the same posters? Yeah, okay guys we get it.

This post can be used to describe every thread having anything remotely to do with Nintendo.

 

[treason]

the pictures and youtube video doesnt do this game justice. it is absolutely beautiful.

 

[Coconut]

I'll be buying and downloading once I get home tonight.

Which is best - tablet or pro controller?

They work in tandem. At least that how I'm doing it. I hate holding the tablet in my hands.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Game is really awesome! Downloaded it last night and really impressed. Just wish I could invert the right stick for vertical. oh well.

Also, picked up a Wind Waker HD bundle. That gamepad looks very awesome in person.

tablet all the way.. you can quick select inventory to buttons.

 

[marc^o^]

I can't wait for this game, happiness on a disc.

How about the miiverse bottles, is the feature activated already?

I did the same, and preordered the Zelda CE while I was at it!!! Between this and MH4 I'm in gaming heaven right now.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

The bloom is awful

Ugh

What took you so long?

 

[Annoying Old Party Man]

I've been playing the game for quite a few hours.

I wasn't so glamoured in the Gamecube years with the game - I think the concept didn't really excite me back then. But now, oh boy, I feel so in tune with the game.

This is one of the best remakes I've ever seen in my life.

 

[B-Dubs]

Bah, the damn swift sail won't come up in the auction!

Glad to hear it, I had a feeling it might.

I'm hoping I can finish Twilight Princess before the physical release comes out - that game is loooooonnnggg.

 

[twelver]

how many hours does it take to near 100% this game??

 

[TourianTourist]

Bah, the damn swift sail won't come up in the auction!

It depends on the moon phase... would be nice to know the exact one.

 

[Kissenkopf]

Good 40 hours if you want to get every figure and if you don't rush through the story.

 

[B-Dubs]

Are you sure?

 

[DownWithTheShip]

Where is the auction?

 

[Fandangox]

Where is the auction?

At Windfall island at night. Enter the the house with the red door.

 

[D-e-f-]

Where is the auction?

in the ...auction house?

Interesting that it looks great in person, people were bitching about it in pics. Glad to hear.

I wish we could download save files

I want to start my adventure with Link's Pajamas...

 

[marc^o^]

I just read all these reviews closing comments:

Hyyyype.

 

[timetokill]

Anybody know of any reviews of people who are new to the game entirely? I'd be curious to read those as opposed to those of people going back to the game.

The gamexplain review is from the perspective of someone who didn't like the game the first go around.

 

[Calamari41]

This game is absolutely gorgeous in person on a big screen. It's amazing how much more important art style and resolution are than pure number of polygons. This is making me incredibly excited for more Gamecube remakes.

 

[NeeL]

Say again?

 

[TourianTourist]

Are you sure?

Well, stuff like the Legendary Pictographs or the postion of the Ghost Ship depend on the moon phase. So, I thought this was also being the case with the auction house prices as well.

But apparently this is not the case... or I couldn't find any info about it.

 

[abstract alien]

Just made it to the island. Holy Buddha this game is so damn beautiful in motion.

 

[Downhome]

This wont work with the Wii U for surround sound will it?

EDIT:

Thought I was in the right thread. Either way I'll leave it here just in case any of you guys know as well.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Don't forget to stop by the screenshot thread!

 

[spookyfish]

Downloading now. Can't wait.

Sweet. Pairing a second tablet to the Wii U is really easy. Now when (if) they make a two-tablet game, I'm ready!!

...

I'll be waiting a while, right?

 

[cuchulainn]

Say again?

Well....

Spoiler

If you complete the Game in the Gamecube version, it gave you the option to replay the entire game in Links pyjamas.

 

[Busaiku]

This is the best time to own a Wii U, price cut, zelda bundle, lots of retail/eshop games and more before xmas.

That's why I got it (though I got the Nintendo Land bundle, cause I'm getting this game when the retail copy hits).

Wait..what? You can now use either Gamepad to operate the system? Surely not both at the same time, right?

 

[D-e-f-]

Good on you for not missing out on Nintendo Land. Screw the "lol@minigames" crowd. It's an amazing game that shows off the Wii U beautifully.

 

[Revven]

I stopped playing just before you have to go to Forest Haven. May go back to it tonight but iunno, it's hard to balance playing *three* games here. (W101, WWHD, and GTAV)

I'm, of course, loving it. The open seas look SO MUCH NICER.

Its making me more excited for nintendo's future first party games

Yup, it has HDMI input so it'll decode the Wii U's 5.1 just fine.

Tablet, of course. I'll never understand this question, I mean, if we were talking about Wiimote vs pro then I would understand it because one has things that the other lacks, but the "tablet" has everything the pro has, plus a nice screen for the interface and some gyroscopic controls than the other lacks.

I'm using the Pro Controller since the damn Tablet screen can't be turned off. Plus I was able to get a new black pro controller for $21

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I can understand wanting to turn off the screen when it's doing nothing but mirroring the game like in NSMBU, but why would you want to limit the added functionality that it brings in a game like this?

 

[D-e-f-]

Why on earth would you want to turn off the screen on the gamepad?

 

[NeeL]

Woah! I didn't know that. I have a GC version, but never beat it. And it got nothing to do with the game itself. It's gorgeous.

 

[spookyfish]

Wait..what? You can now use either Gamepad to operate the system? Surely not both at the same time, right?

No - it won't let you use both. But you can fire up the system and then pair the new gamepad. I thought it would be harder than that. The old gamepad said "Another pad has been synced."

 

[BurritoBushido]

I really wanna buy this Wii U....gahhhhh

 

[Jaded Alyx]

...intriguing..

 

[Jrs3000]

I'm holding out too though I might cave buy digital and years down the line pick up physical.

For some games, AC3 and Black Ops 2 I prefer the pro with the gamepad close. But it is really a close call, the gamepad is great, and for this game, gamepad all the way.

 

[papercan55]

can anyone please confirm that i can't listen to the game by using the headphone socket on the gamepad.
someone said that you can only do this with off tv play.
is this true?

 

[GulAtiCa]

That gamepad really is a thing of beauty.

Compliments my Zelda Wiimote nicely.
