Although $50 for a simple hd remaster doesn't seem worth it to me, I never played through the original as I was too young. It's not enough for me to outright buy the wii u. When smash/Mario kart 8 come out, wind waker will be a given. Too bad I'm getting a ps4 before they come out : /

Never buy a system just for one game. Buy a system for multiple games, even if It's down the road.
I bought it for Zelda Wind Waker mainly, but next year I'll be getting Smash, Kart and Bayonetta 2.

If you have to ask the question, then the answer is no.

If the question you are really asking is, "Is now the right time to buy a Wii U?", then the answer is yes.

"Is one game worth it?"

One game can be worth it, but not an HD rerelease. .

Super Smash Bros or X. They'll probably be worth it.

Never get a console for 1 game. You'll regret it after your done with that 1 game so unless you have a few games that are on the market or coming out soon then i'd say wait.

Use wikipedia, buy the console, get some games.
Go on the eshop.

Done.

Wind waker is amazing. My first time playing it and its definitely a system seller.

Plus with pikmin3 out and zombiu..... You have zero reasons to not own a wiiu.

No just buy a gamecube

Only you can answer that. but there's so many games coming that you could probably play wind waker as you wait for them.

So you're not interested in Pikmin 3, Nintendo Land, NSMBU, Wonderful 101, etc. at all?
