I don't think they're going to be doing that for the Wii U

It would be a day one purchase for me, along the Wii U.

3D Zelda not so much...

Fanart of what HD remakes should look like!

It was released a few years ago, did its rounds through the web. You can see more here: http://orioto.deviantart.com/gallery/6943610


Well, shit. We need this game -


That guy is a truly brilliant artist.  Nintendo (or someone) should hire him and make him director of all game art design.  He's got a talent for how to bring past game concepts into the present.  If Nintendo made games that looked like that, they would sell like hotcakes.

 

OT:  I would love a 2D Zelda if it looked like the above concept art (or better), and had lots of fun gameplay and depth.  But I doubt very much it's going to happen.

Also, Nintendo definitely should have gone with the red boxes (or white or black).  Too much blue on the market.

What if they realised BOTH at the same time :O



Consoles: 3DS, Wii U, and Vita soon. Super Paper Mario fan.

No.

Not gonna happen anyway and rightfully so. The WiiU isn't supposed to be for low-ambition games and it's time they start showing it, it will damage Nintendo's image otherwise. I already made a post on this issue in the other thread that was about the Aonuma interview. I like the top-down games a lot as well and in fact my #2 favorite is a 2D top-down game, but realistically these games have no place on today's consoles anymore and are only suited for handhelds.

Well, a Zelda like my sign will cost a lot of money that I doubt Nintendo is willing to invest in the Wii U. That's why I believe in TPHD, Hyrule Warriors and Top-down Zelda. As a Zelda fan I'll be ok with this as long as the real Zelda HD is ready for launch for the Wii U succesor.

That's money that's already been spent as the WiiU game is in development since 2011. To shelve it now and make a new top-down game from scratch would only waste more money. And TPHD; expect it near the launch of the next console, for the next console.

Never. Unacceptable. Appalling. Horrid. Apocalyptic.

I'd still buy it used, though.
