I need prime trilogy. Nintendo need to release an HD version for the U compatible with the Wiimote+.

What good would Wiimote + do?  Like, the IR pointer is way better for aiming than using the actual motion sensing.  Hell that was my biggest complaint about Skyward Sword; they moved IR aiming to motion detection and it was pretty bad.  Not unusable mind you, but way worse.

I don't know. If they hybridize the pointer and the motion+, maybe it could avoid the cases of the pointer going all over the place at times. Been 4 years since I beat it so I'm not sure. They could also include some motion control elements into Prime for added content. I enjoyed those in corruption.

ASsuming you mean using the IR for pointing and then motion for everything else, then yes.  Though I could never fathom a reason as to why Nintendo didn't do that in Skyward Sword.  Using motion to replace D-pad functionality for menus is just silly.

I actually liked it. Ultimately it should always be left up to the user. They allowed the use of the B button for the no answer, but in other cases it should be made to suit both tastes. It's nitpicky but if they want to popularise motion controls it really is the only way.

I see ;o. That does make sense!


I wish they'd do it though. I can't imagine it being very costly, even if they added Off-TV support and/or upscaled the games. And surely they would be able to customise the OS to boot the games in Wii mode or something?


An HD remake similar to LOZ WW HD would be a great idea.

But do they have any other Wii games on the e-shop?


No because the OS is just the OS stright from the Wii, it would take quite a bit of work to make the OS boot from the HD or internal storage which the Wii had neither. But they probally could rework the games to make them play on the Wii U, so I'm pretty sure if the WW does well we may see some other game get the WW treatment.

Finally, I now can buy a copy of Trilogy again.

$15 for Shipping to Canada for those curious, and no Gamestop.ca doesn't have these games listed (but if you can find it, XenoBlade is only $45 here )

---

What do I think? I'm surprised to see Trilogy get listed, I thought they did a limited run on purpose. XenoBlade, I think Nintendo just cocked up and wants to cover it up. They didn't think it would sell so well, and now that it has, they don't want to admit that they are silly for not localizing it sooner. EBGames is full out scheming though, taking advantage of Nintendo's mistakes.

P.S. I hope X for WiiU sells like hot cakes.
