Wind Waker Woes

[Asriel]

I'd wait at least a few days before judging.

We can assume Wind Waker was not far into development when announced in January; Nintendo weren't even far enough along to show a trailer, and instead opted for a handful of screenshots. Over the next few days we should learn far, far more about it, and the visual style will most likely have evolved.

Now if this is a Director's Cut, and includes cut dungeons, removes the fetch quests and makes other alterations, as well as orchestrated music, it could be something very special. But judging it now--a day before E3 and on the basis of six screenshots or so--is very, very premature.

I'd also point out it doesn't need to be a huge deal in and of itself to be a strong title for Wii U. It is a title a core Nintendo fanbase will pick up. It is part of a line up for the end of the year, rather than the be all and end all, as it should be, and that is vital. It's not like 3DS where the one major title for six months was a remake, it should be the case with Wii U that a remake is one of the major titles coming at the end of the year and on the back of a string of new Nintendo titles.
