I've got wind waker HD, (just got the boat) link between worlds unwrapped, both oracles games on my N3DS, and OOT 3D ( I think I'm Just past Goran mines. I want to grab Twilight Princess remake and Skyward Sword, and Minish Cap from VC and I'm SET till the Switch comes out.) Only problem is I just downloaded M Prime Trilogy (never played it) and have Pokemon Sun to beat. Winter of Zelda indeed.

I hate to tell you this but they are gone. They went up around 2:30 am central time. It disappeared quickly from Gamestop. Then Amazon listed the master and special editions. The master edition had a nearly 30 dollar discount for prime members. That was gone quick and the gamestop one came back as people canceled their orders to get the cheaper Amazon one. Then it disappeared again. The Special edition disappeared from Amazon shortly afterward as it was 20 dollars cheaper.

I ordered the special addition... for the Wii U. But Aside from Amazon saying that it was for the Wii U, I have seen no confirmation that the Wii U is getting a special addition. I'm confused. Not worried about getting the game now (saw a video of the two games side by side and the graphically upgrade isn't worth $400 to me) but I would be bummed if I can't get a dope carrying case for my future switch current 3ds plus the soundtrack...

Check twitter and YouTube. Seen several side by side comparisons. It doesn't look as sharp, but it sure as hell doesn't look $420 better. Not hating on the Switch, but I already have a Wii U and a pro controller so...

You might want to check your order. I don't think there is a WiiU Special Edition. I checked my Amazon order and it says Special Edition - Switch. The product page now says switch instead of Wii U like it did last night.

Just did and it also says switch. Oh well. The Annoying thing is that the Amazon page order for the Wii U addition is still the old picture and release date says march 13th? I'm confused

I'm relying on this thread to keep me informed of why Amazon's claiming a ship date of the 13th for the special edition.

I'm wondering the same. I have the special addition pre ordered, because I thought it was the Wii U version. Now I'm seeing just the special addition on EBay is going for about $200... I'm thinking I'll keep my pre order and watch prices. If it stays that way I may flip it and get paid to play BOTW on the Wii U

Yeah the map is probably going to get framed and go next to my Zelda 1 manual map. Sword (pending Best Buy not canceling my order) will go right behind my desk so that it is in frame during all video calls with my Skull Kid. May just sell the coin and CD though.

I think I'm going to cancel my Special addition Order and just get the Wii U version, but I do really want the cd...

Yes, but Wolf Link doesn't give you hearts, instead it becomes a doggo buddy that helps you in your adventures. Its health is tied to some boring challenge room bs from TPHD

So what you're telling me is I need to hurry up and beat Wind Waker HD, so I can go buy TPHD and then beat it, so I have a dope companion on march 3rd on my Wii U

The dungeon only gets you more hearts for when you summon the Wolf in BOTW, but you can do it with just the amiibo having never played TPHD.

Don't you need to buy TPHD to get the amiibo?

Is anyone just unable to pre-order the Wii U version? Gamestop in-store doesn't have a release date other than "2017". A few other sites has it listed either as 2017 or March 2017 with no exact date. The only solid info was from Nintendo's twitter. No issues ordering the Switch copy but I have not much interest in launch consoles.

You can get it on Amazon. Edit, but it still has the funky box art which I find Annoying. They need to update that poo poo.

Yeah the GBA market is probably more fake than not for any chase games at this point. Invest in a flash cart!

Thinking of grabbing a retro boy in the summer, and going to start collecting old GBA games. Anyway to tell if the karts are fake or not? Retro boys and 3DS are perfect for a Bug out bag when everything goes to hell

Update. Reddit has a guy with an early Wii U copy, doing an AMA. Shown screen shots (no real spoilers, and talks about frame rate. )Game runs great! Looks very good, and only dips when it's a combo of heavy weather effects and a lot going on. He says it doesn't effect the experience much, and is loving it.

Reddit / Zelda and it should be at the top of the page. There are spoilers in the thread though. I avoided anything major, but be warned.

Just watched a few minutes of a twitch streamer on Wii U' and listened to one of the tracks from the soundtrack. So PUMPED. Also, leaving thread till after I've been playing Friday :) see you all on the other side!

Yeah I'm definitely thinking of getting this for the WiiU if theres no big performance issues

Again, watched several twitch streamers playing on Wii U. Big rain and battle effects drops frame rates for a few seconds but it looks practically just as sharp as a switch. And the slowdown wasn't often

sigmachiev posted:

There's enough reports out now to suggest mild framerate drops when there's a lot of weather effects, certain spots in towns and certain enemy camps. I haven't seen one impression really harp on it too bad, but I question how much of that is influenced by basking in the glow of the game overall. That's why I'd like to judge for myself and also get a sense of the gap between 720 and 900p. Haven't seen any mpressions about the sound differences either.

E: Reddit has an AMA going for the Wii U version but it's marked with a spoilers tab and I'm too chickenshit to wade in, but if you don't care and want to report back you will be a prince to me.

I did and he said exactly this. Some slowdowns, but overall looks sharp as hell and plays great. The screenshots he posted back up what he said.

Jokes on you. Amazon took more preorders than copies they got for the Wii U version.

Have you played Quest for Glory? The early 90s VGA remake of that especially, wandering around a forest, finding unexpected interesting things, becoming a hero, bit of a classic. That just came to mind when I was wandering around the forest in this, making a hand-drawn map of that QfG forest as a kid. There are a lot of quality choices for best game ever, and I can dig that this is some people's choice for that.

I have not. I have wind walker HD (just got to the forest) and an unopened TP HD (got it last week for the Wolf amiibo) and while at some point I look forward to going back to those games... this is just so much... better. So much my jam. And it looks great on a Wii U.

That's why I'm debating doing a full %100 run on the Wii U vs when I get a switch late summer. About 20 hours in, and this is easily my favorite game of all time though so....
