i'll agree cell shaded doesn't "push the limits" of wiiU graphics but c'mon, it looks waay better than the GC version.

Lol man windwaker can't win people hate it for it's style at first then they love it overtime. now it changes again and theres a few issues. I can' wait for it it looks great. i'd rather have this than just an upscaled version honestly. even though windaker for the gamecube is one of the best looking games t me..

Give Nintendo a break, they don't know what they are doing with HD. They're learning!

I see you don't like the lighting they borrowed from the Galaxy series.

I also noticed that WW HD looked similar to Galaxy, just didn't know why at first. The lighting makes the game seem more majestic.

Anything is an improvement over the original version.

The HD version looks like it has proper shadowing, some AA, depth. Honestly I hated the way WindWaker looked on Gamecube. Complete and utter eye strain. This HD version looks like it has a chance.

Too much bloom for some people, but I think Nintendo will be able to tune it nicely for this fall.

The Wii U Version looks very well to me... it certainly looks different but for the better.

...since we all know that early development screenshot are always the exact representation of the finished product. :/
