Would love it. I never played the original, and to get it now is pretty expensive....close to 100 bucks after shipping. I fully intend on playing it before the second one, so I'll probably have to resort to piracy and emulation until I can justify overpaying on it (which, by the way, no publisher or developer will see a cent of because it's not sold new anywhere).

So yeah, give me a remastered version for Wii U and I'll be first in line.

I agree, putting it on portable opens it up to a new audience that may not have had a Wii or was interested in playing it on a console at all. Its not like the original looks terrible on the Wii U either, and if I was really that desperate for an HD version there's always the Dolphin emulator.

Xenoblade Chronicles was released a couple of years ago while Majoras Mask was released almost 15 years ago so I kinda understand what he might be getting at with the whole "HD remastered" hate.

A Xenoblade HD remaster would be cool if they did it like they did Bayonetta 1, announcing it just a few months before release, possibly as a pack-in with Xenoblade X or at a budget price. Mainly because of how difficult it is to find the Wii game in the US. But I doubt it would happen since the game is coming to 3DS next year.

you say you know it's coming on N3DS but still want Xenoblade HD..... such a massive game would take forever to remaster. Also, you seem to ignore the fact that Xeblade Chronicles X (which is in HD) is coming out next year (here hoping).

I actually want Xenoblade for the 3DS. However, I don't know when the N3DS will arrive to the west or how succesful it will be. People that already have Wii U and want the Xenoblade Cronicles might want to play the original (like I said, horribly distributed and priced).

Why would it take forever? They don't have to do anything to the textures and meshes. They can change/add lighting effects, and render the resolution at 1080p, and it would be good. The Wii U's architecture isn't much different from the Wii's, so I doubt it would take long to port the code and get it working at a reasonable speed, either. Actually, the New 3DS version should take longer than a Wii U version. 

In order to remaster a game like Xenoblade you would have to play test the entire game and a game that span over 70 hours this is problematic. 

You do understand that the install base on WiiU is much much smaller than Wii. Xenoblade HD would flop base on the current install base. It's a teen rated game that caters to RPG fans. The target audience that own a WiiU probably already own the Wii version. 

In order for Xenoblade Chronicles X to suceed it need to build up expectation and customers interest. Xenoblade HD would actual work against Xenoblade Chronicles X, it's such a long game that after playing Xenoblade HD it would create genre fatigue. Why would anyone want 120-140hours of RPG gaming, most 10 hours game don't ever get finish let alone large game like Xenoblade.

What makes more sense to grow the Xenoblade brand??? Xenoblade HD or Xenoblade 3DS? Nintendo has already made that choice. Xenoblade 3ds is meant to grow the market and interest in Xenoblade. 3ds will soon have a 50 million install base that's much better then the small WiiU base.

If God of War Collection (just upress) =  no thanks

If Ocarina of Time 3d = Nintendo gets my money.

If Halo Anniversary Edition (with press SELECT for RETRO LOOK) = Nintendo gets my money twice.

You don't have to die to see HD remake - if you have good PC rig, original game and don't mind bit of reading, just play it on Dolphin.

You can even add HD Textures (be sure to watch this in 1080p)
