Forums - Nintendo - About X for Wii U, I was just thinking.

You'd have a better point if you had examples of Nintendo games, otherwise it's better to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I love Twilight Princess, I've played it this Christmas and it still looks very good. Don't know why everyone keeps saying it has aged terribly. To me it still looks so much better than Wind Waker, which has aged much worse than TP. I can't imagine playing the original WW now - there is a reason why they remade it instead of TP.

Wind Waker hasn't aged at all; it looked like shit back in 2003 and it still looks like shit today. ;)

Monolith Soft is faithful to what they show at first

Fruits are still flat in the final product

And I doubt that X is still in pre development

However, we haven't seen anything new from X since it was in pre development.

I was first revealed in January 2013 and then showed at E3 (June). Takahashi's team is working only in that game unlike games like FFvXIII (FFXV) that never had a full team working on it. Maybe the development would take long, maybe not, but in my opinion it is safe to say that it pass the pre-development long ago..



Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

I'm not saying it's still in pre development, but we haven't seen any new footage in a long time.

Even between the January and E3 trailers there was noticeable visual improvement; less pop-in, more environmental detail.

To be fair, most of the hype around Twilight Princess was over motion controls because, well, this was before we realized motion controls for swords is a terrible idea. It looked good for its time, but no more. It certainly hasn't aged like Wind Waker.

Are you thinking Skyward Sword?

No. Twilight Princess had a good bit of hype around the motion-control swordplay, even though it was basically a gamecube button press translated to a flick of the wrist. That was when motion controls were so new even that little token addition was considered great.

I think the problem I am having is you said "MOST of the hype..." .   My understanding is that "most" of the hype surrounding Twilight Princiness was the art style given what WW shown before it.   While some hype came about with the motion controls, it was small by comparison...whereas motion controlled sword action for Skyward Sword was indeed what most of that game's hype centered on.

Well, I do claim a modest bit of direct experience. At the time Twilight Princess came out I was a member of a couple of Zelda forums. Here's a thread from a dead Zelda forum of the time. http://www.kasuto.net/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7687

The other forum I was a member of way back then has been hacked and folded into another forum between now and then, so I can't show you the archives from that one. Still, this one is very telling; there's all of one mention of graphics being pretty, and then the discussion immediately becomes about which hand Link uses. (Yup. Those are Zelda fans, alright.) The location, gameplay, and script are all discussed much more than the graphics.

Hmm... I and the market can actually agree to this



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
