If they bundled WWHD and TPHD I'd consider it. SSHD doesn't appear to be anything more than an upscaling, they didn't even bother to put in the effort they made with WWHD.

I get paid every Friday from where I work, so money isnt an issue, also depends if Ill enjoy playing it or not.

and while they may look nice, Id be wary of those joy-cons because of drift issues (unless theyve been resolved)

Not to mention it's just not a good game. Everyone is all "oh they changed the controls it will be fine" No, that's like putting a bandaid on a detached limb. The game's problems are baked into everything in that game, I can't help but think that using the stick to swing the sword won't be that fun. And they didn't even mention what they're doing about Fi and all the other intrusive dialogue that kills the pacing.

I'll slightly disagree for a couple reasons.

First off, the controls were solid - if the joycons can't do it then fair enough, change it....

Secondly, and more importantly - it's possible they'll tone down Fi a bit... I hope they adjust the trial grounds cuz those were a slog. But basically, the Wind Waker HD was very very well done so there's a chance this remake will be good too

Whether they cut down on the padding or not, Fi absolutely needs to be cut down. There is no need to explain every single action and interaction in the game.

It's the mentality, and what you spend does add up.

Also, it's called "voting with your wallet". When people buy stupid shit like this, this sends Nintendo and other gaming companies a message that shit like this is ok to do.

Rich people probably don't care about that. You had implied that a rich person wouldn't buy this because it's a foolish way to spend their money. I was just pointing out that from the perspective of someone who has money, it wouldn't be thought of as foolish for them to buy a game they want.

But yes, I understand what you're saying.

I personally enjoyed the game, so I'm getting it. And I'm definitely getting those joycons. Those look pretty neat! I don't mind paying full price since I'm getting a full game... I personally never had a problem with teh controls, so I'm fine using motion controls. Though, I know many had a problem with them. So, it's good they made an alternative set of controls for them. The Fi dialogue could apparently be bad. It wasn't as bad for me because of something I did (at least with the items), which I can easily do with switch. But I do understand the problem for most of the story with her. So, maybe they calmed her do a bit... It reminds me of Rauru as Kaepora Gaebora. But always with you...

what?

I think he's trying to say because people buy the games at full price, they will continue to sell them at full price. Even when they are remakes or whatever...

That's what going on. Many people want this remake. And many don't care that it's full price since it's a full game...

Though I'd say Nintendo is the one in the wrong here since they are behind on a trend in gaming as usual, the deep discounting of other games is still the weird thing to me. That wasn't commonplace in the early 00s and earlier, so I feel like we still have it pretty good. Plus like people said I'm an adult and can afford it once in a while even if it feels like an overpay (and a lot of times I determine they aren't worth it to me and don't buy).

This is a great point. Did I ever see an N64 game go on sale? So rare. Many games were literally $80 retail in Canada.

Depends on the game imo

Was going to say, some older games are almost worth $60, while plenty of modern games that are selling for $60 are barely worth $10.

Age really isn't the significant factor.

It is kind of lame that Nintendo seems to have done away with Selects. At least they had that in the pre-Switch era even if it still took like four years to put a game on there. Now what, are they just going to not discount anything until their next console or something?
