Man this bundle I like!! I may get it..but More likely will wait longer for another price drop..I have a backlok, so i do not see getting a wii u anytime soon..But then again I am loving this bundle!!!

I'm with you, I love this bundle but won't be able to get it. I'm going to get a PS3 super slim this year hopefully and I have a bunch of games I want to play for it that I missed out on.

This will be my way of entering back into the Wii U world. Im quite excited for this bundle. I had a feeling they would do one and I was hopeing so. I wanna play Wind Waker, I didnt get to play it that much on the game cube.

You pre-ordered it right Nicole? I thought I saw that in a new blog of yours. When you do get your hands on it you should blog about it and tell us what you think of it all once you unbox it and get to play with it all and see that awesome black and gold gamepad.

The remake of WindWaker is appealing to me, but I also know that I have had difficulty playing the 3D Zelda games.  I will say that I think that  a hard mode is a perfect addition.  I can replay A Link to the Past over and over and over again, but sometimes I wish that It was remixed and more challenging.

Are you interested in the upcoming A Link Between Worlds for 3DS, the game that will take place in the same world as A Link to the Past?

Definitely, A Link Between Worlds is one of the many games that I wanted to get a 3DS for...  

Temptation! More and more i'm thinking maybe I do actually want a Wii U. Maybe i'm just getting sick of all this PS4 and Xbox One talk however. I've never played Wind Waker but it looks sweet. I'm still actually on my first playthough of Ocarina of Time....

If you've never played Wind Waker before you would be in for quite a treat. It's a beautiful game, fun mechanics, nice music, characters, and you can get a good sense of exploration and agency if you're playing it for the first time.

Upmuntil recently, I really hadn't thought much about getting a Wii U, but it certainly seems more appealing to me than either the Xbox One or the PS4 at the moment. Not in my budget, though.

If I could shake the money tree and find $300 I'd like to get this, but I'll be backed up for quite a while. There's still a few games I want to get for 360, there's actually too many games coming out this fall and winter for me to ever buy. I have make priorities and pick a couple or a few for 360 I want most.

I also want to save up for a PS3 most of all since I've been waiting this whole generation to get one and now is the perfect time. I'll be playing a PS3 and catching up on all the Sony games I missed out on during the beginning of this PS4/Xbox One generation.

You have so many, many awesome games to look forward to! Heck, I'm still catching up!

There's so many games on PS3 to grab, I'll be busy for quite some time once I can pick one up. One thing I love about the PS3 is how Sony does a lot of collections, and most of those are pretty cheap now. it means I don't have to have as many cases taking up space, and I can get lots of games for cheap. Half the price of a new game or less. I can get the collection of Journey, Flower, and Flow or under $30. Killzone trilogy all in HD for under $40. Ico & Shadow of the Colossus for $20. I'm a Splinter Cell fan and PS3 has an HD collection of the first three games for cheap. They have Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD coming and I've never played either of those. I'd like to check out Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Last of Us, Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xilia, Demon's Souls, Uncharted. There's weird games on PS3 I've never even heard of too, and a lot of them look neat.

And don't forget LBP!

Wow, that bundle looks cool! I've always wanted to play Wind Waker more than any other Zelda game. I love cell-shaded graphics.

The cell shaded visuals have held up quite well, better than any other Zelda game and most games from that generation in general. Now with the HD upgrade there's better lighting, softer edges, nice color, everything is only more beautiful now. Wind Waker HD looks really nice.

That's the thing with cell-shading. It ages well.

Oh my gosh you guys! Zelda/Dark Souls is happening. It's happening! 

I think Fry sums up my thought on this:

I have never played Wind Waker and this could finally be my chance to not only play the game, but also get a Wii U. Then again, i'm worried about the game being digital, not because I think it's a bad format and it's the work of the devil (if I thought that, I wouldn't have Steam), but it's because of region issues, as the 3DS digital shop isn't on Colombian territory yet, which makes me afraid it isn't on the Wii U either.

That territory factor worries me, it sucks that you might not be able to get those digital versions. It's a fantastic game, I hope you could get the chance to play it.

"I never played Skyward Sword but I read an article that claims that game had a similar "hard mode" that could be toggled on or off. For those of you that have played Skyward Sword, does it have a harder difficulty setting, did you ever play with it on, and what did you think of it?" - Michael117

It goes by the same name in Skyward Sword. You can't toggle it on or off.

I played it for about an hour after a finished the game, and I can say that it definitely got more challenging. You need to focus your attention on pattern striking a lot more because you can't go loosing hearts all willi nilly, and as a basis for comparison the "normal mode" of the game was harder than most recent 3D LoZ games. I wouldn't know how it faired in dungeons/bosses as I didn't go that far, but I can totally see it being a bitch to play.

Thank you Joaquim! I like the way all of that sounds. Playing Souls games has made me quite fond of pattern striking and that style of cautious combat. I imagine Hero Mode will be quite challenging when it comes to keeping those hearts up. When you start out Zelda games you have very few hearts until you begin collecting heart pieces, and with enemies doing 2X damage it will likely be perilous, especially early on. I wonder what those boss battles will feel like. It should be pretty cool, I'm even more excited now.

Hmm I don't know. Wind Waker was a bit too easy, and I think that hero mode ain't going to make it that challenging. Skyward Sword added the element of precision to pattern striking, and that's something that Wind Waker doesn't have. Unless they added motion controls to sword fighting, but even then the bosses weren't designed for such element. In conclusion, go play Skyward Sword in Hero Mode if you want a LoZ Souls kind of experience... hahahahahaha sorry Michael.

Thanks for destroying all my dreams Joaquim lol! Wii U is backward compatible with Skyward Sword isn't it? The only reason I never played SS is because I don't have a Wii, if I could get a Wii U and still play some Skyward Sword I'd love to check it out.

You bet your ass you can play SS on a Wii U. Although you have to play the game through once before unlocking Hero Mode, that's the only caveat I see other than hoping that the Motion Plus controls work for you (some people had a hard time with them, and others had a fantastic time).

Can't wait for this. Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda and the jump to HD is just the excuse I need to replay it.

Do you have any interest in Hero Mode for WW Casey?

He'll yeah I do!

I think you made the right move, that Ganondorf figure looks pretty great.

Zelda with a hard mode? Hell yea!

I've never played Wind Waker before, but I'm really looking forward to this HD release so I can finally give this game the attention it deserves!

You never played Wind Waker Chris?!

I think you'll be in for quite a treat. Just pop the game on Hero Mode and play through it for the first time with all the HD upgrades, new mechanics, etc. This remake will likely be the best version of the game and you'll be able to play it for the first time. You won't even have to search for all those horrible triforce pieces in the ocean like all of us did, they reduced the number of shards to 3 I think, it used to be quite a bit more and it was tedious. There's so many awesome things about the vanilla game, and this remake just fixes a lot of the things that weren't great about the vanilla game, introduces some cool new ideas, and is in HD of course. You'll be in for a treat, it's a fun one and this will be the best version.

If only I did not have a Wii U already, I would jump on the bundle! Regardless, I will be more than happy to sail the Great Sea once more!

That is an amazing bundle, and I hope they get a bigger user install base out of it. It is really tempting, but I think if anything I will still be getting a PS4 or using my laptopo for gaming ... eventually.

A great bundle. I remember getting the wind waker gamecube bundle way back and this is going to probably entice me to get a wii u
