    During the Nintendo Direct today, a new trailer for the HD remake of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker was shown and there is no other way to say it…this game is freaking beautiful. Wind Waker was always the dark horse of the Zelda franchise (despite being the brightest…irony), but has grown to be loved in the ten years since its release. The Wii U version will come with a new feature called the Tingle Bottle. Despite sounding oddly dirty, the new feature will let Wii U messages randomly show up on the shore in players games so, like Sting, you can have a message in a bottle.

    The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker releases this October for Wii U.

  • Wii U Resident Evil: Revelations Will Have Gamepad Only Play. Sound Familiar?

    Capcom has revealed that the upcoming port of Resident Evil: Revelations will support the gamepad only play feature on the Wii U. You know, the feature that lets you play the game on the Wii U gamepad….kind of like playing it on a 3DS…the system it is being ported from. Thus is the circle of Capcom double dipping.

    Revelations was a fun 3DS game and is being given the HD treatment with new weapons and characters for the console release.

  • The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker HD Coming This Fall, Looks Pretty

    One of the big announcements from yesterday’s Nintendo Direct Stream is that this fall we will be getting a full HD remake of the classic The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker as a placeholder of sorts while Nintendo works on Link’s next adventure for the Wii U. Take a look at some of the HD-ified screens and go “oohh” and “aahh”, maybe even “look at all the pretty”.

    It is funny how time changes people’s perception of things. I remember when Wind Waker was first shown and people lost their minds at the change in art style and that it was not a Zelda game at all. Fast forward ten years and it is one of the most beloved of the Zelda games and we are awaiting a chance to play it again.

  • Resident Evil: Revelations Getting A Console Release

    rev1

    [amazon_link id=”B0050SVLI2″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Resident Evil: Revelations[/amazon_link] is making the jump from 3DS to consoles. The handheld adventure released last year for Nintendo’s 3DS and sold well enough (or bad enough) to warrant a port over to home consoles. The game will release on May 21st for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PC.

    The game will receive an HD upgrade (duh) as well as new playable characters, new weapons and difficulty level not found in the handheld version.
