The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (Wii U)

gizmo

Speaking of the Wii version, I've had it sitting in its cellophane for a couple of years awhile now, I assume it should be looking at shifting it if this HD version isn't fundamentally screwed?

Not specifically about this game but it needs to heard and appreciated because it's awesome. I hope Zelda U is fully orchestrated.

Well, that's the game ruined for me...
A final battle, a Hyrule field?
Didn't see those coming at all

What's the likelihood of the limited edition not selling out entirely?

Can't really justify paying for it at the moment but want to pick it up at some point.

I think it's very likely. I think it's overpriced. I preordered it back in November when less was known about it. As footage has come out I've been less than impressed, be it the graphics, the unchanged midi music, charging full price for very little work of a 10 year old game, etc. I cancelled my Smyths pre order this morning, still have it pre ordered with thegamecollection. I'm on the verge of cancelling that as well.


Other amiibo bundles have been cheaper after their release, e.g. Yoshi's Woolly World, Mario Party 10 and Splatoon. Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water and Xenoblade Chronicles X were the opposite, going up in price instead but they had small limited production runs and weren't freely available at most retailers. Something that I'm sure won't happen with Twilight Princess.

Zelda is 30 years old exactly today. It released in Japan on the 21st February and it's now that date there.

This promotional video from Nintendo themselves partly shows why I've cancelled my final pre order from thegamecollection for the amiibo/soundtrack bundle. Well, really I asked them would it be possible and when was the last date to do so. But they went ahead and cancelled it anyway. I'll buy it when it's cheaper as I'm fairly confident it will be sooner or later.

MilesMorales1

You say that, but Windwaker HD has only got more expensive since launch. First party Nintendo for you.

sligeach

True but if you look at the recent amiibo bundles they've nearly all gone down in price. I don't think Wind Waker had a massive print run, the Limited Edition certainly didn't. It was weak compared to what Japan got but that's another story. Anyway, I've ordered in now on Zavvi. I just can't make up my mind on it. I don't want to support amiibo or a mediocre effort and charging full price for a remaster. I could just buy the solus game but I want the soundtrack and it's better value for the bundle.

I cringed a bit when he said "with enhanced graphics". Technically it's correct but.......meh.

I have never had so much zero interest in a product as this one, well maybe for the recent Animal Crossing titles.
Problem for me is that the game represents such a marginal improvement over the Wii and GC originals, it should be a budget title bundled with Wind Waker HD at this stage.
I've become slightly cynical of late, and watching the habit across formats to release HD remasters of titles, at least some have had the decency not to charge full price or release as a collection, like the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus pack for the PS3.
In fact, Nintendo seem to have forgotten their very own Wind Waker release on the Wii, which included Ocarina of Time and the Master Quest as well, on a bonus disk.

Myrddin

^^ Agreed, it represents poor value (good point about the Wind Waker Wii release featuring OoT & MQ). This needed to be a €30 game, not a full price release. However, us Zelda fans are over a barrel because Ninty know we will buy it, & we will. So the lesson here for any budding Zelda fans is, run, now, while you can...save yourselves...

MilesMorales1

Didn't wind waker HD release for 45/50? Cheaper than a 65 quid price tag.

Grand so cheers! first time ordering from them so wasn't sure when they would take it out

readyletsgo

Would this be the same for Smyths? Payment taken on Wednesday? They say delivery should be on launch day. Do Smyths usually deliver then? Or is it a day or two after release?

MilesMorales1

Presumably Thursday for Symths? Since it won't have as far to come. Dispatch on Wednesday for TGC, should get it in my parcel motel locker for friday morning.

Star Lord

Dunno about delivery with Smyths, I'd imagine it's done at dispatch. I know with collection they only charge you when you pick it up from the shop.

Sound, thanks for that. My Smyths is only up the road from me but I won't get to the store on the day so hopefully that all works out for Friday

I've ordered from Smyths for instore pickup but also ordered from Amazon. So was wondering can you cancel the Smyths order online?

You can, but you have to request it on the site. It's a bloody pain as it all depends how long it takes them to reply to your cancellation request. Do it now if you want to cancel.

They really should just have a cancel button.

MilesMorales1

I find cancelling smyths orders was easy peasy. I clicked 'request cancellation' or whatever the button is, no bother.

30 pounds for twilight princess is less than 40 euro, plus parcel motel is less than 45 euro, so I'm happy enough.
