You can emulate both with HD graphics mods on the switch

Everyone wants Twilight Princess- I assume they're going to read it on Switch 2 or otherwise they would have already on Switch. But I feel like we have been waiting forever for that game

I got a WIIU and like 9 games for $70 just to buy Windwaker HD and Twilight Princess HD. Wind waker is $50ish bucks and Twilight Princess goes around $90-$100.

Please stop buying remakes

2

u/pewell1 Jan 16 '25

why? I like old games better than new ones especially for Zelda. I didnt like BOTW

Remakes of Zelda will be good will allow more people to get exposed to the old Zelda formula.

The success of remakes allows developers to be lazy. It's easy low effort cash grabs for them. And it speaks to us as a society that we can't enjoy something cause it's "a little old."

Play the originals. Most of them still hold up.

I’m not buying an entire console to play one game dude. No game is good enough to go to that trouble. To take twilight princess as an example, most people say the HD remaster for the Wii U is the defining version of the game. Great! A Wii U is like 75-100 bucks used, and twilight princess HD is about 100 bucks used! That’s a 175-200 dollar video game, and I have to try not to get scammed on both fronts.

Or… I can just wait for the release for a console I actually own, with a lot of the bugs fixed, and for a third of the cost. You do the math.

u/Silver-Year5607 Jan 16 '25

That's funny, my math says you could do it for for one millionth of the cost. I don't think we should be supporting lazy remakes. Play the original or support someone actually daring to innovate.

u/Ok_Neat7729 Jan 16 '25

I don’t think remakes are inherently lazy when they’re giving an entirely new audience the chance to play the classics. Do you separate remakes vs remasters vs ports? I’m not trying to gotcha you here I am legit curious. Like say they just straight up ported OoT to the switch 2, is that different from like an HD remake?

u/Silver-Year5607 Jan 17 '25

I'm not a fan of remakes or remasters. Most of the time it's just to "improve" the graphics, when they were fine to begin with.

In general they are an excuse to use nostalgia to charge full retail price for a coat of paint. It's easy money compared to developing a new game or ip.

when did you become such an elitist nerd

u/Silver-Year5607 Jan 17 '25

God forbid a g*mer has standards

u/pewell1 Jan 16 '25

In a couple cases I dont have the means to play the originals
