Yeah. I just got Gamefly and I didn't realize how many games I missed on the Cube... I'm glad for backward compatibility, DS and Wii. Now my grades on the other hand probably aren't.

Wind Waker, didn't have too much water per say. I think it just took too long to traverse the water. If you received the ability to jump around the map sooner, or if you travelled faster it would be such a big problem.

The feeling of Wind Wakers traveling was fantastic. When you travelled to another dungeon you didn't just move a few squares on the map and you were there. You moved across the entire map, and it really felt like you traveled. That was pretty cool.

If I had one change I would drastically increase the sizes of all the additional islands in the ocean and give them more purpose. Have larger side quests, and more mini dungeons in the island. I would also of had the triforce partially found in the water, and partially found in these mini dungeons.

Wind Waker is an interesting Zelda experience. In one aspect it is one of the BEST Zelda games created. Fantastic graphics, and environment with a story that is truly unique and different for the series. Dungeon design also took a huge advance in the game.

However, it also was one of the WORST Zelda experiences. The game was rushed cutting 2 dungeons, and the traversing the water was a love/hate experience. It added depth, but also took away many elements of the traditional Zelda land traversing.

Dungeon design took several steps BACK. The cylindrical architectural features was over done -- 4 out of 6 dungeons were based on a cylindrical interior. All the dungeons had some kind of key cylindrical room. Talk about predictable and repetitive. "Oh, I guess I can proceed downward to where the boss is. Oh, I guess I can proceed upward to where the boss is."

It didn't help that some of the dungeons were the islands themselves and obviously towered over the water. Where are the surprises? No strange little gateway in the Lost Woods you seem to eye above Saria early in the game that turns out to be -- holy sh!t -- it's a temple in there?! Where's the discovery?

THIS WEEK IS OFFICIALLY ZELDA HATE WEEK.

What I don't get is why you need this when you have backwards compatability. If you want to play the old titles you can. Otherwise just make a brand new full-value game.

QFT!

I am a Nintendo Fanboi and I dislike Wind Waker greatly! Nintendo sold-out with that game! I hurts me to spout such blasphemy but I must stay true to the tenets of quality, innovation, and good games forever!

But... back on topic.

As long as the new Wii-alized GC games come out at about $35 or so, then I've got no real complaints.

Wouldn't it be easier for Nintendo to allow us to download patches or game profiles through WiiConnect24 to allow us to use the Wii-mote for games instead of having us to buy them, or in some people's case, re-buy them.

People won't care the 2nd time around unless there's an in-yo-face ad campaign to make people aware of it.

"HEY, PLAY LAST YEAR'S GAME NO ONE CARED ABOUT, NOW WITH WII CONTROL."

OH. I've just discovered it's an old game no one cared about. No one will care about it AGAIN, ANYWAY!

LOGIC TRAIN IS NOW STOPPING AT FAILURE STREET & DEAD END WAY.

This is plain ridiculous, just when I was past the whole TP thing Miyamoto comes up with this. Im dissapointed, why Nintendo wants to make the remote look like a true gimm!ck? because thats all they are doing with these ideas. And it also sounds lazy from them, instead of creating new games they will rehash games now? where the hell was the mantra "quality vs quality" left? I shouldve see this coming, but I had hope Nintendo wasn't going to be like any other money-hungry tacky company, what now? will they make breakable consoles a la sony to increase profits?. At this point I wouldn't be surprised.

Because playing old games with new methods of play for a lower price is totally gimmicky from the start even though not a single example has been given nor does anyone know just how it will, if ever, be done! Internet whining about Wii can almost be likened to having a conversation with someone, and being interrupted before you even finish...

"I think this would be a great id..."
"NOPE, SUCKS"
"But you haven't let me f..."
"NOPE, SUCKS"
"Why!?"
"NOPE, SUCKS"

"How about Mario Golf, Baseball, and Tennis. Soccer doesn't seem like it would work."

Oh sure it would! They could make a foot-clip to clip the nunchucks to your feet. The Foot Zapper.

I'd rather buy several VC games but I like how they are branching out.

UncleBob · « **Reply #39 on:** August 21, 2006, 03:18:45 PM »

This is an excellent idea. It'll help expand the amount of games out for the Wii, in theory, pretty quickly. While some of you poo-poo the idea saying that Nintendo should focus on *new* games, I think adding Wii controls for older games (that are proven to be good) would be a fairly easy task, perhaps as a training tool for newer programmers. Just a thought, though.

BigJim · « **Reply #40 on:** August 21, 2006, 03:30:10 PM »

Didn't want to re-buy NES and SNES games for $30 on the GBA. Don't wanna re-buy Cube games on Wii.

Edit: Except maybe if they re-do Wind Waker at full resolution, and actually complete development this time.

And cut the world in half so there's less useless boating.

UncleBob · « **Reply #41 on:** August 21, 2006, 03:48:11 PM »

Well, thankfully for Nintendo, their entire marketing plan doesn't depend on *you* to 'rebuy' games. There are millions of people who didn't own a GameCube and out of the ones that did, there are still plenty of people who didn't buy every particular title (Mario Golf is the only Sports game I've personally picked up, but only because I'm waiting on proce drops for the others.)

The chance of getting to purchase a *great* game at a *great* price for a *great* system is *great*. How many youngin's bought Link to the Past on GBA because they never got to play it on the SNES?

Caliban · « **Reply #42 on:** August 21, 2006, 04:20:37 PM »

I actually see this step as a good buisness idea.

Miyamoto stated that these redesigned GC games will have a significantly reduced development cost, which is why I believe they will be budget titles. Now I know most of us in these forums already have "these games" and might have no intentions of re-buying them, but imagine those that skipped the GC in favour of PS2, but now they deciede for the Wii instead of the of the expensive PS3, they will go to a video-game store and look at a good amount of AAA budget titles and I think their first idea is "wow, look at these great cheap Wii games, I think I'm buying a couple since they are so cheap, let me ask the clerk how good these games are...blah blah blah" = $$$$$$$ for Nintendo.

What was one of the main reasons Sony sold so many PS2s? budget titles.

Do you see the connection now?!

I know it that, in our Nintendo-hardcore-eyes, we see it as just a plain cheap way for Nintendo to rake in $, so we have to remember that above all else Nintendo is in it just for the business even if we don't agree with it.

One final word, if you are going to b!tch about this while you plan to get some VC action...well I think I made my point clear without saying much else.

Edit: damn MSN chatting and interrupting my posting, and then I read what Uncle Bob posts and I just go "arghhhh, damn you UncleBob!!!".

Mantidor against a NIntendo descision? Who woudl have thought it! Heaven forbid Nintendo remake some GC games to fill in the gaps in between new releases adding more to the Wii game library which would probaly be smaller without the GC remakes. HORRIBLE, Nintendo needs to PHAIL now they are so arrogant and lazy.

This does seem pretty lazy, and at first I didn't like it, but then I realized that doing this would allow them to focus more on new and original titles. New content = good!

My only problem with this is if this would hurt production of new games, but if it is more of a side thing I see NOTHING wrong with it.

They could set up a dedicated team just for this purpose.

A dedicated team of trainees even.

BigJim · « **Reply #48 on:** August 21, 2006, 07:59:27 PM »

Should there be a desire to "fill out" a launch schedule with solutions like this, the issue is not with the old games IMO.

Bartman3010 · « **Reply #49 on:** August 21, 2006, 08:01:37 PM »

I fear the fact that these games are priced "Lower than regular Wii software"

Either it means $19.99 budgeted purchases, or regular Wii games are $59.99
