you're misunderstanding, demanding quality and challenging titles = hardcore gamer. the rest is just graphic whoring and hatering.

No, "hardcore gamer" is currently synonymous with demanding excessive graphics and ignoring quality gameplay. Sad, but true. If it weren't, "hardcore gamers" wouldn't say a word against Nintendo in terms of their games.

graphic whores can call themselves whatever they want. demanding quality and challenging games will always mean hardcore.

I know this thread is satire, and it might not make business sense to do this, but is it bad that I want this? Not so much the HD but the putting maximum effort on all fronts into some flagship games that show what's possible in this gen that wasn't on the Wii. Like how seeing Galaxy or Metroid Prime or Ocarina for the first time makes one say wow.

Of course it wouldn't be bad... OP is completely misleading. It takes absolutely no cues in Nintendo's pedigree.

The games that are coming out for the WiiU in the not too distant future are games that Nintendo had to release because they are system sellers and are fun. However, Nintendo does want to make games that have a much higher production value and a much greater depth of art, like OoT and SMG. Those games serve their own purpose and are crucial to the console, but like Aeilyn said now is not the time for them, Nintendo needs to resurrect the U right now.

Anyone who doesn't realize this is delusional.

With that said, I voted "In Nintendo I trust" because I know why they're doing it and I approve. They simply can't afford to let the U sink any more right now so what has to be done to keep it alive must be done.

That's bull. I usually always agree with you but this is total BS.

Nintendo never ignores quality gameplay but they certainly are ignoring proper depth of art, and we know why. They need to make games fast. This is acceptable because the games are still fun and Nintendo needs the money, but otherwise I would demand more, FOR SURE.

I thought hardcore gaming was playing COD?? Now for real. I think nintendo is for the hardcore gamers and they are delivering it in 2014 for us. X, zelda-u, SSB. These are hardcore titles. High production value, great gameplay. Lets just wait and relax.

Strangely, there's kinda some kind of truth in your OP .

"Plus it should go without saying that nobody should buy The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD either."

However I cannot justify myself doing that, even if I think it is the least of the 3D Zelda's, it is still Zelda after all.

I will rejoice on the day they actually bring out a Zelda game that looks remotely as good as that demonstration was.

Truly amazing.

Amen. That demo made into an actual game would be a dream come true. Please, Nintendo, do the smart thing and make it happen.

If they've paid attention, they would do this. Basically everyone wants this to happen. The 'paying attention' part is tricky though...

I am very relaxed. I just disagreed with Aielyn. I also like calling a spade a spade.
