New Play Control! The Wind Waker

would you like to see TWW added to Nintendo's New Play Control! series?
I know I would want it. I want to buy the regular GC version, but I don't want to go out and look for a memory card and GC controller.

anyways though, do you think it would be worth the buy to get this game released on wii? Would it be similar to TP? would it sell well? Should Nintendo even bother?

tell me what you think

Re: New Play Control! The Wind Waker

No, because I really don't see how it can benefit from it. This holds true for every New Play Control game aside from the Metroid Prime games. I also am annoyed that Nintendo is putting effort into rehashing old Gamecube games and slapping on cheap wiimote waggle gimmicks, instead of focusing on original games.

I agree with you on nintendo wanking off their franchises and putting stupid little gimmicks in with that stupid wii remote. But I agree with him that this would be great, but really, nintendo needs to work a little harder.

Re: New Play Control! The Wind Waker

Nintendo is a smart company. They know most of their fanbase are retards who'll buy anything that has to do with Zelda, Mario, or Metroid.

Re: New Play Control! The Wind Waker

Same problem like in the current OoT remake thread. New play control based on what? Twilight Princess? Nah, even Nintendo theirselves said, that Twilight Princess for Wii wasn't perfect at all in terms of controls. And we don't know, how different the gameplay and controls will be in the upcoming Zelda Wii. Both maybe won't fit for The Wind Waker.

But so far except for some fun stuff like Jungle Beat Nintendo prefered to have their NPC titles based on later installments of the corresponding series. For example the Metroid Primes are based on Corruption's controls and both Pikmins are probably based on Pikmin 3's controls. They can't let The Wind Waker be based on Twilight Princess, we don't know anything about the next Zelda on the Wii and The Wind Waker isn't exactly material for coming up with some cheesy new "bongo bongo waggle waggle"-controls.

So, no, The Wind Waker probably won't be part of the New Play Control! series. There are other GameCube titles, that are suited better for that, Luigi's Mansion or Mario Kart Double Dash (with online play) for example would be nice NPC choices.

Sadly, quoted for truth.

If I could go back in time two years ago, I would have gotten an Xbox360 or a PS3. I really don't think that there are enough challenging, hardcore games for the wii.

It's a shame, I thought that Nintendo would use the Wii to showcase new, awesome ways to play-instead it's now a gimmick

Re: New Play Control! The Wind Waker

I'd rather see a new WW game for Wii with motion controls. More advanced than TP, tho, but I've been wanting another WW style game (sailing, 3d, console, cel shaded, not PH) since I played WW, and they culd make an awesome new one with the Wii.

Re: New Play Control! The Wind Waker

I hate the OP - I thought this was coming out x:

The only reason I'd like it is because they'd more than likely add some new things to the game.

Re: New Play Control! The Wind Waker

If new things are added to the game, then its worth playing. But that wont probably happen.
Nintendo should start creating new games instead of remaking old ones. Their successfulness with the selling of the Wii led them to stop working on new games.

Amen, bruther. Ninty gotten too obsessed with pleezing the noobs and the softcore and milking the Wiimote. They need to step up their game for those uv us whu hav been waiting for garbage knows how long for an epic new game. They need to get to wurk on new, epic games for their main franchises (Zelda included) instead uv popping out a new sumthing Mama title evry 5 weeks.

What? I do not understand what you just said. Maybe you should use the spell checker on your computer. If you are using a Wii, maybe you should consider using the Dictionary.

I guess yu don't kno, bad spelling iz my trademark. Just sound the wurds out. But if yu really don't get it, I'll translate.

Amen, brother. Nintendo has gotten too obsessed with pleasing the noobs and the softcore players and milking the Wii Remote concept. They need to step up their game for those of us who have been waiting for forever for an epic new game. They need to get to work on new, epic games for their main franchises (Zelda included) instead of popping out a new somthing-Mama title every 5 weeks.

This is very good actually, I understand it perfectly. And yes you are right. They will wank and wank. Milk and milk, but sooner or later people are just going to say, "Screw it!" and stop buying their franchises.

Re: New Play Control! The Wind Waker

I would eventually like to see WW remade, but only once the GC is uber-obsolete.

Now it's just very unnecessary.

Re: New Play Control! The Wind Waker

How about instead of raising another gc game from the dead, how about just making a new Wii Zelda game.

Re: New Play Control! The Wind Waker

I can't really see how Wind Waker would be improved by adding Wii controls, so I don't think it'll be included in the New Play Control! series.

Re: New Play Control! The Wind Waker

I suppose it would be somewhat worth the buy if you had never played it before, but if you have, then it would just be a waste of money.

It probably will be, since Nintendo just loves re-releasing the same games with some new gimmick or something. Plus, since their fanbase consists mostly of idiotic sheep it'll sell just because it has "The Legend of Zelda" on it.
