The Gamepad Sold Me on the Wii U

Ah, well I played part of Twilight Princess through an emulator. But there is a bug that causes a slowdown in Hyrule Field, and any of it's adjacent connecting areas as well. And from what I understand, it's not about the field itself, but the radar/map of the field that's causing the issue. There's a patch that alleviates it from 17 fps to around 25fps (normal is 30+), but it still felt so slow that I didn't want to ruin my experience of those areas.I figured I'd just get the game for my Wii U at some point instead, but then I'll have to play the Wii version, and I'd rather play the GC version, so I'm not sure what to do about that yet.

I enjoyed it thus far though, except for the Twilight segments. I can't really see much @_@. And controling Wolf Link wasn't particularly fun so far.

And yeah, OoT 3D is definitely more polished than the original, from what I've seen. Not sure if the gameplay mechanics are any different though, but the graphics have certainly been improved. I'm super excited about Majora's Mask coming back. Gonna buy that game right away.  The boxart looks gorgeous.



And the Special/Collectors Edition looks amazing. I'm gonna get that for sure.
And it sounds like they will make some gameplay changes, but only slightly. They're not messing with the overall formula and feel of the game. Just tweeking some things that were problematic in the original version, which sounds good.
The only thing I'm not fond of so far is the redesign to the moon's face. It certainly looks better from a graphical point of view. But he looks straight up angry now due to the raised' eyebrows', where's before he had this eerie expression that you couldn't quite read. And that made it more creepy for me personally.
But maybe I'll get used to it. And it's a minor thing either way.

Sorry for going off topic about Zelda btw. lol

Yeah that's quite a predicament. I would've preferred playing the GC version of TP as well. The Wii one is okay, but the motion controls seem fairly pointless. I really didn't like the Twilight Segments either. They were so dark and boring and wolf link isn't that fun. It was just meh.

MM 3D's boxart is soooo good. I really hope NOA doesn't change it too much, but they probably will. I'm sure Nintendo will make sure the moon's face still makes the game as eerie as it was before, but I can understand your conflicting opinions about it. 

And it's no problem! I'm really new to the series but I already consider it one of my favorite franchises ever. It's so rich and diverse!
