I think not. Wii did good enough to deserve a Zelda game. Twilight Princess was a GameCube game. Plus the motion controls on Skyward Sword were pretty fun and diverse.

Indeed, but remember the Wii-U never got its own Zelda Game, it got Two ports of 2 Previous Game-Cube Zelda's and Wii-U is getting it's own Zelda Game ported over to NX. Which asks a good question, Is Breath of the Wild really a Wii-U game? being ported to NX.. Or is it an NX game that's being Released on Wii-U

I'm with snake. Redoing the old ones in HD is cool and all, but I'm more interested in the new title. That said, a remake in HD of the original 2 would be pretty sick.

Well, i'm just saying, when people were throwing around the desire for a Twilight Princess HD remake Nobody wanted it and said pretty much what you said. But Nintendo did it. I'm just saying, look at the trend, Nintendo probably would remake Skyward Sword for NX at some point considering all of the previous Zelda games that were made for the previous generation beforehand got a remake. Remakes are easy cash.

But there is the other discussion i mentioned. Should Skyward Sword even have been released on the Wii at all? And instead be used as a Launch title for Wii-U

Now this isn't about the discussion or endorsement of Emulators and their legal use. But it's quite clear that after watching a few videos, the game looks quite amazing in HD, and thus it does makes me ask a very good question. Especially when the game does look Beautiful, though that's probably due to the Watercolor-Pascal visual look Nintendo was going for to compansate for the limited Hardware (A Good proof that Visual Design and Artstyle can long-term wise compete vs Pure Technical poweress)

That question being. Should the game at all have been Released on the Wii? And/or Put as a Launch Title? for the Wii-U? or simply as the "Wii-U Zelda" We never really got. Again, not really counting Breath of the Wild as an Exclusive Wii-U game considering it's being Ported to NX. And Twilight Princess and Windwaker were both Re-Released on WII-U. Thus the Wii-U never got its "Own" Zelda Game.

That said, i do indeed think it's a beautiful looking game, even with a limited polygon count on most of the models.

I think the game would have benefited from a duel release. Similar to what Twilight Princess got. The Wii-U would have benefited from this game on Launch, even without the motion Controls. (though they could have worked a special Bundle with the game and the console that comes with the Motion+ Wii Remote included with the Console. It would have been an amazing Launch title by all accounts. Even if the gameplay was Repetitive. To say the Wii user base was 100 million at the time of this games Release? it sold really bad in comparison to Twilight Princess and other Major Zelda games. Twilight Princess had a much smaller install base at the time of release on the Wii and somehow managed to outsell Skyward Sword. I Consider Skyward sword to be a Flop in all accounts.

So.. Should Skyward Sword in a few years get a Re-release on the NX? 1080p Graphics? Sure, the combat would have to be re-done. Regarding the sword and the boss battle mechanics. So at this point the game would be quite different from it's Original Wii Release. Maybe enough to count it as a Stand-alone Release? Sure it's not about slapping some High Resolution Textures and calling it a day. Additional Effects could be added into the game appropriate for the Hardware.

Sure maybe i'm biased because i never actually got the game, Which is Shocking considering i own every single other Zelda Game to date. Maybe the mandatory Motion controls put people off? Or maybe it the was 480p Restraints that put people off especially during a period where HD gaming was the king and Queen of Normal. I think After Breath of the Wild. Maybe 2 years? later? Skyward Sword should be Re-released on the NX.

Tell me what you think below.

People here complaining about 4k TV's/content are absolute fucking morons, do you even know what 4k TV statistics are?

http://fortune.com/2016/06/02/your-next-tv-purchase-will-almost-certainly-be-a-4k-tv/

10 fucking percent for the whole of the US and they are expecting 34% as of 2019.

IF that trend continues worldwide, that's only ~13 million people worldwide in 2019 YEAH 3 FROM NOW. And of those people, not everyone is going to be a gamer or get a PS4P, so satisfying 1/3 of the population is pointless and a waste of money.

We'll probably see a PS5 by 2020 or something with a 4k player, for all the whiny kids here.

Ask yourself how many people had DVD players when DVDs came out? Or How many people were still using SDTVs when PS3s/Xbox360's came out. Consoles give a lot of people reason to get the new TVs or media to play them on. It's up to the manufacturers to give people a reason to upgrade in the first place.

The 4k Native Bluray player that Microsoft offers with their 500gb S console is easily worth $299. There is so little UHD content on Netflix and Amazon these days it's a absolute joke. I bought the Xbone S just for the Native 4K Bluray player since my Sony UHD tv already has Android and Google cast built in. These days every 4K UHD Tv has a smart tv built in. There is no need to use a console to stream UHD content when your 4K tv will do the same thing plus much more. This is where a 4K Native bluray player would be nice when it comes to the PS4 Pro. Bottom line for Sony not to put a Native 4K Bluray player in the PS4 Pro for the people with 4K HDR tv's, HDR being key here is a huge mistake imo.. Hopefully Sony will eventually upgrade & put a Native 4K player in..

I'm not even talking about Native 4k here. Heck, i heard the Xbox One S is kinda bad at 4K, sure even if it up-scales or not, least i know i can plop my 4k movies into it and it will play them. To me that's attractive, it's one of the reasons why i got a PS3 years back because it played Blu-rays, which meant i didn't have to buy a Blu-ray player. PS2 same deal, all my movies were VHS, i got a PS2, found out that hey! this thing can play DVDs too. (I think the first DVD i got was Return of the King) and i was blown away. PS3 same deal, i can chuck Blu-ray into it and it's awesome. PS4p? Nope, Regular Blu-rays only. Hugeeeee mistake.. Granted the move to HD from SD was a slow one., but in comparison majority of people have HD TVs, even if they aren't capable of 4k, future proofing your console is important, and with the PS4pro not supporting 4K native or least the ability to watch 4K movies even if it up-scales regardless of TV. IT's gonna force Sony to have to Re-release the console 6-12 months down the line. The only reason why i'm not buying a Xbox one S is not because i'm a SSony fanboy, quite the opposite, i'll go with whatever console has the features i'm looking for. But i'm not paying out 2 online subscriptions at once which spreads my Library thin.

4K Tv's have already come down to the 1000$ mark. My 4k 55" TV costed me 1200$ and it was on sale. My old 1080p 37" TV was 799$ but that was back in 2011. They're not future proofing the PS4pro, thus They're competing against themselves really.

On a funny side note, wouldn't it be ironic if the NX could play 4K movies haha.

@MonsieurX: Sure it would make the price maybe a bit more expensive, but it would make the PS4 pro more future proof. In comparison. (Without making it into a console war debate) The Xbox one S which comes out in October i believe? Can play 4k movies. And that console costs 399$

I think Sony is making a mistake. I heard that Amazon is still accepting preorders on the PS4p, Which means they aren't selling as expected.

I'm expecting attachment/adoption rate on current owners who are upgrading to a PS4p to be around 20%. I'm personally not buying any new model of a PS4 until i see a worthwhile upgrade.

-people who buy this console i feel like are gonna get scammed. A year later Sony is gonna re-release it with a 4k capable player.

I'm not buying into it. Seriously, there's no excuse not to have a 4K player in the console. I'm disappointed.

@PredatorRules: So wait? IF i buy a laptop with an SSD, is the OS always installed to it by default over the HDD? Or am i gonna have to mess around with the laptop in order to get it onto the SSD?

Yes, OS always installed by default on SSD, it makes you enter desktop screen in no more than 5-10 seconds.

Awesome.. Thanks for the Replies :)

@PredatorRules:

Wouldn't you argue though that 16GB of ram is more then enough? and What's so special about an SSD?

Faster loading time in games, the bigger the SSD the more games you can install; when I said more future proofed I didn't mean only by RAM, yes 16Gb will be great for the next 5 years, but games will also increase in size to 50Gb as standard.

So the SSD is the Hard-drive basically? with the amount of Storage? Is it separate from the Hard-drive? or is it literally the HD?

Also another question. Which would you go for? MSI or ASUS?
