Truckload of awesome Wii U stuff announced at Nintendo Direct

[Shauna]

I'm not hugely "NEED DIS" about anything. Mr Shauna, however, saw the Wind Waker HD remake, commented on how ugly it looked and said he'll be picking it up anyway.

I knew I'd be getting a WiiU at some point - Bayonetta2plz - so probably just gonna see it earlier than expected.

X is Xenoblade 2? Well, that settles that.

Who know? Looks like it, but let's not count our chickens.

I don't think it'll be a direct sequel or anything, just based of similar mechanics.

Only the new Smash Bros., Yoshi, and FExSMT interest me out of all those games. I have no idea why they want to remake Wind Waker.

Because Wind Waker is one of the best Zeldas ever? ^_^

For a more practical reason, remaking WW first is the same reason why practically every PS3 HD collection is of a PS2 rather than PS1 game; GCN technology is most likely closer to the Wii U than the N64, so they probably don't have to do it from the ground-up. Plus, WW is 10 years old by now; if they did Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword, it'd feel like double-dipping.

I dunno man. The world looks strikingly similar to what (SPOILER)the Xenoblade world look like at the end of the game.
