Yea it is but the point I am trying to get at is that at the time of the GC... Nintendo didn't know they would have another console that would sell worse nor did they know that the wii was going to sell that much better. Yet the GC had many ambitious titles. And yes, I agree that this Zelda is the most ambitious game yet hence why you can see why I want it to be wiiU exclusive. See the thing is, I understand that HD development has been tough for them but considering how many big name titles that the wiiU is missing like Pokemon or Metroid and etc, the wiiU need something like Zelda to make it worth it And yes, I know the reasoning why they added it but that doesn't make it any less of an enhanced port cause they really could have gotten away with doing less and still selling about the same amount but they didn't. They could have easily had a more simplistic motion controls instead of doing so many different gestures for each minigame and bow and etc. I mean, I remember many praising just the fishing game at the start for being so perfect. Also while I agree that switching from PowerPC to x86 would take some work, I doubt Nintendo just wants to leave it at that. Cause again, going back to TP, there were many motion controls elements that were quite impressive and those certainly took quite a bit of work to get right |
Not just about sales, Nintendo had very big problems with Wii U, they made a very bad decision with it that they couldn't correct. This is their worst console generation ever in sales, not just home console, handheld too. 3DS start very bad so they give a big push in order to revive sales of 3DS and Wii U was suffer because that too. Also this gen they post their first loose in history of company, so that effects lots a staffs, they made some important decisions about future, add to all that very big and understated problems. Add to that big and understatement HD development problems, and that Zelda U is ambitious game ever. This gen is a mess in every way, so I can understand if we missing some games like Metroid (i think only game that Wii U library will really miss) or Zelda U be ported to NX.
Well if are they already forced (because all games on launch in first year had motion controls) to do motion controls on TP port, they will do that right. Also I personally didn't mind motion controls in TP, but I saw lot of people preferring GC version because of controls.
Not just about PowerPC, Wii is basically OC GC with motion controls, exactly same hardware, tools, developments kits...like I wrote porting GC game on Wii was peace of cake, very fast and cheap. We already know that NX will not have exactly same architecture. Like I wrote they needed to do motion controls for Wii port because there was other option on launch. I didn't say they will leave it exactly same like Wii U version, maybe they again do different controls or adapt to NX gimmick similar like TP Wii version.
1080p/60fps would take much more resources than simply port and like I wrote Nintendo certainly will not do that. You can see similar situation with Wii, they could easily remaster some Wii games in HD like Mario Galaxy games and Zelda TP and SS, they could easily sale few millions of those games on Wii U and in same time show up true potential of Wii U. Lots of fans expecting something like that, I didn't because that's not Nintendo philosophy of games and how they think and work.
