Shin’en developer Manfred Linzner thinks that re-released HD Wii games on Wii U would be better than many of the current games that are available on consoles such as Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Nintendo hasn’t mentioned whether or not it will release select Wii games in HD, but it’s clearly something that fans are clamouring for.
“You could easily take many original Wii titles from Retro Studios or Nintendo and release them again in HD and they would look and play better than many current titles. I believe that the most important resource in game development is the developers, rather than the actual hardware.”

Refresh ans this was here ….it’s so cool……QUACK.
*and
Tonight, we are…….
These comments will have a lot of quacking cows.
So does this mean that nintendo MIGHT re-release their games ,or will the WIIU will just upscale the graphics or something.
I know it won’t upscale. and I doubt nintendo will just rerelease games that aren’t really “classics”
Maybe those Nintendo Selects games are going to be on the list.
However I do want some Gamecube HD games, too *-*
It’s impossible to upscale the graphics because console graphics are set at a certain quality. It would be a waste to make that feature within a game because it would take up a lot of unnecessary space on the disc that the current system could not use.
If they release Wii games as digital downloads, it’s possible for the graphics to be upscaled, but it wouldn’t be a simple port. They would have to take some time to upscale the graphics.
Re-release xenoblade chronicles in HD. It would be an instant buy for me.
mate, game just came out. HD polish seriously stopping you from buying it now?
He never said he didn’t have it.
I would rebuy Xenoblade just to play it in HD. I already have the game and the graphics are already mighty impressive on the Wii, but it would probably look like gold on the Wii U.
Though an HD port would be nice, I hope they make a sequel (or spiritual sequel) or another new RPG.
yeah that game was super good…id buy it again
I dont have it, so id buy it in HD if it got released
ME TOO, “TheDragon234”!
Damn right they would, look at Metroid Prime 3 and DKCR, gorgeous
i mean yeah obv
but it’s time better spent making new games imo
you won’t need a big group to port it to Wii U so it could render it in HD
its not like they are going to remake it with more polygons. just make it render in higher resolution
No, they would release them with more polygons. They did so with Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D and they know that people won’t buy a game they already have(and can already play on the same system) just because it’s in higher resolution.
I like this guy!
Me too. He is one of these guys in this industry with the right attitude.Blame yourself if you didnt achieve something with your game, give credit to those who did. Very rare these times.
Finally, someone who understands that hardware and processing power does not make or break a console’s graphics. People seem to have forgotten about the Super Mario Galaxy games. :)
Hardware power has everything to do with graphics, retard. It also has to do with gameplay, vis a vis physics, frame rates, etc.
Don’t be fucking dim.
No but Nintendo and Retro knew what they were doing, they used every inch of the Wii’s power to make a great looking game, it just wasnt in HD.
And if it were more powerful, it would have looked better, trickery or not. Power = graphics, among other important things. Period.
Trickery? How was it trickery? Thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard, how a game decieve a player with graphics?
Yeah, it would’ve looked better if it was a more powerful console, it would miles better than about 95% of the 360/ps3 games, but that doesnt mean they dont look incredible, theyre just in standard definition.
Okami is a last gen game. One of the best looking games ever now its got a HD release.
Art style and knowin how to use the system to your advantage will always be better than making a game that tries to look realistic or cram as much stuff on one screen as possible.
art style and graphical capability are 2 different things
They all count towards the same thing though, how nice the game looks.
well yeah but that’s just a matter of opinion
ha fail dork^^
i’m pretty sure mario galaxy isn’t disadvantaged by the wii’s power sorry
Really? So it couldn’t be a better game if the Wii were twice as powerful? Lol. Keep thinking that.
I know what you mean, with more power you have the ability to improve graphics among other things as well. It’s always a plus with having more power. It’s not trickery but technique and Nintendo knows how to utilise what they have to the fullest. That is why they are better even without having the most money
sorry Sony drone but when Nintendo has this much power u know Nintendo will drop bombs on the world
he’s more of a Gamer than a fanboy, he dissagrees with what he doesn’t like, unlike you, so quick to call out sony when he hasn’t even brought up the competition lol.
Well…they did re-release some Gamecube games for the Wii…soooo…maybe. Some games would do well with an HD port, like Xenoblade Chronicles, any of the two Zelda’s, or Super Mario Galaxy 2. They wouldn’t even have to change the controls, just upscale the graphics a little.
Would love a Zelda HD collection with WW, TP and Skyward Sword
nintenod aren’t gonna just make a collection when they feel like it. we’ve had crap load of zelda in 2011 anyway.
Im not saying they WILL make it, but id definitley want one, and id buy it.
I think SS, will NEVER be remaked. Skyward strike and sword battling would be impossible to do. But, The Wind Waker and Twilight princess would be good. But, im gonna buy original Wind Waker and i own TP so, who cares. I also have played SS trough, but Xenoblade would be superb.
You can still use motionplus…youjust wouldnt be able to play on the gamepad. But TP and WW could be amazing on the pad
I think this would be a great idea if they bundle some games together too.
Uhm… no.
Oh, please tell me how Call of Duty looks any better than Mario Galaxy.
Light sources, shaders, shadows, resolution, particle effects…
In every way, COD looks graphically superior. Wow. You’re really fucking blind or just don’t know anything about graphical analysis. Good think that’s part of how I make my living, eh?
Thing*
Fail Sony drone^^^^
Doesnt mean shit because it the most boring looking game in the world. Enemies look stupid and have no character, the colour scheme blends into this big mess of browns and greys. Looks like crap.
um, go to an everyday person and say which one looks better to them, they’ll go straight to galaxy cause of its artisitc direction.
And they’ll say CoD, look at all of you, Just because a game looks better doesn’t mean Jack Shit. Look at Hrophobia, that game is the definition of ass, but graphically it looks great. you can’t take anything away from great games but if it isn’t graphically superior to other games, it just isn’t. End Of Story.
ok stop stop i don’t take u serious anymore when u say that, now i know u are a Sony drone, because only Sony drones like that and only shooter and graphics(a.k.a there little porn collection).
I’m gonna remember the name Icy Dead People when COD gets played out or when people become smart and realize they are paying for the same game every year. $60+ a year, damn that sucks and don’t blame Activision. Lmao.
Don’t port games. Make a SMG3, a DKCR2, and a new Metroid title fully using the systems possibilities.
They wouldnt take that long and theyd get an outside company to render it to HD, most HD releases do that.
Long as its cheap, id buy it. I still dont have DKCR
I’d prefer them to make a new mario game than SMG3. guys need to stop doing the whole numbering thing.
Same, i want big levels, rather than little planets, not that is was made, it would just be samey if they did. Keep the gravity bending in places though, that was cool
of coarse the games would look and play better then on the wii. The wii U updates controlls and graphics. This is kinda rude to other console developers, kind of like saying they arent artistic which is untrue. Oh well cant wait to see metroid prime beeting cod in graphics, and online multiplayer!!!
It already beats COD in graphics, it would destroy COD on WiiU, would probablu challenge Crysis in terms of good nice it looks (and before graphic whore show up, i really dont care for trees blowing in the wind on Crysis, and the game is pretty mediocre so i doesnt matter)
I would much rather them upscale games without having to buy them again. I know it won’t, and I doubt they will re-release them either. Though I would buy the Prime Trilogy in HD with DLC to include the planned Kraid fight.
Nintendo, are you listening to this?That would be so awesome for an HD collection with the Kraid fight they tossed.
Fuck graphics fuco hd its about gameplay shit after years of with telling superior future advance comapanies well it was bullshit truth is we stick wiith ninty cuz we feel sorry for their ass but eally we are jelouse and any weakness ninty has we make an excuse but now that ninty has hd they should port cod siince it outsold all ninty shit wink wink. Now its who cares about frameRATE issues and its not about low battery life its about hd old ported games and gimmicks. Also not have a social media powerhouselike live doesnt matter cuz i pretend to waste tons of mommy money trying to replicate xbox all in one like me buyng dvd player but when ninty can one day afford it then we willl defend poortendo lamentainment system btw im a white race kissass weelboo mental challenge pedophile
Get the fuck out of here!
‘mental challenge’
Oh hello, Mr Ironic.
Most Nintendo and Retro games are already better than the majority of AAA PS360 games. Having them remastered in HD however would be amazing, as long as extra stuff not in the originals was put in as well.
^This.
Reblogged this on Nintendo Sanctum and commented:
I sort of agree with this and would like to re releases of great Wii games finally in HD.
you know maybe they should re-release Skyward Sword or something
or like bundle it with the WiiU
or something to get more people to get that game because it’s really good and not enough people have played it
I wouldn’t mind rereleases in HD but I wouldn’t buy a lot of them, I’d buy only the games I don’t own. I’m sorry but I don’t want a third version of twilight princess just because my brother couldn’t beat it on gamecube and wouldn’t let me play his gamecube. If it were an HD collection I’d be more happy, but if thats the case it had better have Majora’s Mask, I want to play that game soooooo bad.
rune factory frontier HD and no more heroes 1&2 HD…YES DO IT AND YOU HAVE MY MONEY
They already remastered NMH 1 duno about 2, so would be easy
Hell maybe GC to put MK DS or Twilight Princess in HD. I do think Skyward sword and both galaxies should be remade in HD using the Wii u pad I know a lot of people still need to play them or replay them
.
.
DD not DS
Double Dash is awesome, it looks better than Mk Wii in my opinion, i like how they balance triple items when theyre holding them
I like it better than the Wii one and it looks better. Don’t care for the baby’s even though bowser Jr. Crib like a bitch when he loses is pretty funny
I normally just picked the Parakoopa
-YAWNS-
rerelease HD remakes are getting old and tried. New IPs or GTFO
If you’re honestly telling us that there are past Nintendo titles that you would not pay to see brought to a next-gen system, with better graphics and possible new content and even the possibility of DLC[more Double Dash tracks, for instance], then I’m calling you out.
There’s a huge back-log of games that I would throw money at Nintendo, hand over fist, to remake and bring back with new options and nicer graphics.[even though graphical horsepower isn’t as important as asthetic style.]
I doubt there’s a gamer alive that doesn’t have an old N64/Cube/SNES/NES game they would love to see brought back to life.
And it seems to me that Sony is slowly starting to pick up on this desire for old things brought to new days, as well.
They’re bringing Zone of the Enders to the PS3 with a collection, and that has me tickled pink since I never got to play them on PS2/1.
All in all, it isn’t a bad idea to bring old classics back.
As long as new IP’s aren’t totally abandoned [and despite the lack of them, they have not been entirely abandoned yet], then I applaud any efforts to bring back games from the “golden ages of gaming”.
+1
this seems about right, and sony did pick up on this, imyself own about 5 collections. If nintendo did it with N64 and GC games, The wiiU might be a First Day buy for me.
Can they do that with the two origional pikmin and Super Smash Bros Brawl?!?!?!?
I think Brawl would be obselete once the WiiU SSB comes, but all for Pikmin 1&2
Yeah I wouldn’t do it with a smash or Mario kart game cause we know we are getting them. But everything else like galaxies and pikmin 1&2 are welcome. Skyword Sword also
That would be great! They should also make HD GameCube games!
Witch games do you want the most to be remade in HD? My answer would be Mario Sunshine!
Yes to this, so much.
Though honestly, I would rather see a sequel to it done, instead.
I duno about full sequel, but FLUDD should be an item at least, like how Yoshi was in Galaxy 2
Yes. A sequel. Don’t know if they should return to Isle Delfino or somewhere else. They could do other places on Delfino.
oh man, that would be awesome!
that’s been obvious for years. if only nintendo would do it though cause I would love to play some awesome wii/ngc games in hd like xenoblade, twilight princess, skyward sword, wind waker, metroid prime trilogy, ssbb and much much more.
I love that idea! Playing Wii games in HD for the Wii-U
Damn straight.
While I’d always prefer Nintendo to work on new projects, the statement is entirely the truth. Modern games (non-Nintendo) are terrible and have no real replay value, while I’ve been going back through multiple Zelda titles.
HD remakes do have a good spot for Wii U because they can be made a but more quickly than than new Wii U titles, which would simply bring more 1st party titles to the system
I know I want a lot of old Nintendo games in HD. Gimme some OoT, WW TP, Mario Sunshine, No More Heroes 1& 2 and I’ll take the Rainfall games in HD too. Leave luck to heaven.
I want viewtiful Joe in HD lol
Me too.
Me too…
Oh fuck yes I want this! Metroid Prime 3! :D
He’s not wrong. HD upgrades of Galaxy 1 & 2 seem like brilliant download titles and there’s also plenty of Gamecube titles worth a HD outing.
