1. Nintendo (and the fans obv) are touting The Wind Waker remake for Wii U as some sort of killer app.

2. Surely they would want to use their resources as wisely as possible. New, fresh experiences on the Wii U would do wonders for their public image.

3. But... Nintendo... I have to confess... I've kinda, already played it in HD... on the dolphin emulator

4. Of course it looks better on dolphin.

5. SO, are there new dungeons? New islands? Will the gamepad bring anything new to the table?

6. I just don't see how this fits in to the sparse gaming landscape you're responsible for of late.

1. I don't see many calling it a killer app.

2. Greezo is the developer so it's not a drain on internal resources.  It's also a 10 year old game meaning it IS a new experience for many.

3. You are a very small segment of the martket. While your circumstances are valid for you, they aren't valid for 95% of the people that will buy the game.

4. Subjectives aside, which is practically all of it, WW HD will have new graphics overall, not just a higher resolution.

5. Yes, new content.

6. You is the key factor.  It's not all new to you (even though it really is quite new) but it is all new to many, many people.  And being from a outside developer...perfect.

Wind Waker was also incredibly beautiful. I don't see why more is needed really. Nintendo should spend those resources on the new Zelda.

It's being developed by Greezo fo very little internal resources are being used on the game.

You do remember they are making a brand new Zelda as well, yes?

So what did it turn out to be then eh?
