The more I try the Wii U, the less appealing it becomes to me. What am I missing?

All it tells me is SS was overhyped and had the fact that it requires motion plus going against in 2012 of all years.

WSR required M+ That didn't flop. Overhyped? Sure, I agree there. But all that means is the game didn't deliver, and as such, took a hit in sales. The lowest selling console Zelda ever, on Nintendo's best selling home console says the series is has declined. And I doubt it has hardware selling power like the good old days.

Maybe, maybe not. I do think part of the loss of appeal is because it was no longer "cutting edge technology" powering the games due to Nintendo not carrying on with the technical hardware race.

I think a Zelda game utilising the power of a console of equivalent power of the XONE/PS4 would generate far more interest and have a lot more sales power than a 360/PS3 powered Zelda will do (which is what we're going to get).

That said, personally I can't wait to try Wind Waker again, one of the most amazing looking games of all time, redone in HD, with all the bad parts taken out? Sign me up! Maybe I'll learn to love the game far more :D

I disagree, Hardware 'power' is not going to change Zelda, it would just be a better looking turd. Zelda's Content is what sold Zelda, the gameplay sold Zelda. The game was excellence defined. The NES Zelda did things better with less hardware than PC's could dream of doing at the time.

Hardware specs were overrated then, and continue to be overrated now.
