I can't say I agree with Eurogamer's 10/10 score. The game is not perfect. It is the general concensus that it is not perfect. Nintendo admitted that they had to cut out a third of the dungeons to get it ready to ship. It would have been a triumphant 10 if Nintendo had stepped in and redisigned the last quarter of the game, adding in everything it originally envisioned.
In the end it boils down to how you view remasters. The game that is there is definitely very good. Did the changes they made warrant a new release? I'm not so sure. Like I've stated before, a lot of the work they did was just done to make the game look and sound as good as everyone remembers it. It also baffles me that they're releasing this as one of the most expensive WiiU games to date.
So you let other people decide for you, even though you have a demo and could make your own decision?! Herd mentality at its worst!
Baaaaahhhh to that, says I! I have only been warned, by informing me about other people's impressions, that W101 is not a game everyone will appreciate. I am postphoning my final judgement for when I have experienced the demo firs-hand. However, in light of the lack of a positive general concensus, I have decided to spend my small amount of gaming time on games I do already own and moving my priorities away from the demo, at least for the time being.
No game is perfect but that doesn't stop the new reviewers fixation with 10/10- ing games on a regular basis these days. I personally hate it and want percentages back. As for making WW just look as good as everyone remembers it, it would be more accurate to say: as good as people falsely imagined it to be via rose tinted glasses. They've also added features and tweaks. The cut dungeons were later used in subsequent zeldas so they can't just add them in like that.
I agree with what the Metro review said, this is one of the lesser Zeldas but like Mario a bad Zelda game is still a good game regardless. And a good Zelda game is stil a great game regardless.
The price is baffling but with a code I am basically getting a ganon figurine for £5.
I'm still wondering when we're going to see special edition statues disc free with NFC chips to enable free full game downloads from the eshop. It would be a great feature, selling collectables instead of game discs and getting to download the game via the eshop, via a little NFC chip. By now for instance, if every game had this my mantlepience would be groaning under Olimar, Mario, Ganon, Chase McCain, Rayman statues.
And what? Nintendo is incapable of coming up with new dungeons to fill the hole? It's not so much the dungeons, it's that they were supposed to be set in the old Hyrule (if I remember correctly), which would have dramatically increased the effect of going there.
I'm not saying it's not a good game, I'm just saying that I don't think it deserves a 10.
As for NFC: what you're describing sounds like something that could easily be hacked. Also, the figurines would be of little value to me, as the wife wouldn't want me to keep them in sight anyway.
I don't know whose impressions you've been reading but I loved the demo and the game has a ton of 9/10 reviews.

The only reason I didn't get it is because Splinter Cell and Rayman came out at the same time so I can wait for price drops. Try the demo, it's only 20 minutes or so. Just play on an easier difficulty and remember to block and dodge. The game looks and feels niche though, as we all thought before it released.
Baahhhhhh

I rather have Nintendo not waste too much time with WW remake, because it is my least favorite 3D Zelda game. The time to design new dungeon would be beter served to design new dungeons for the new Zelda Wii-U game.
With the sort of games that receive 10s today, a 10 for TWW is perfectly reasonable.
You expect too much, it's unfeasible and not worth doing, to create 3 new dungeons for this old game when people are generally happy enough with how it is and they could and should be working on the new Zelda U. Aonuma also said in the interviews he was very conscious of not changing the game too much so people would not be upset and so the game flow would remain and the experience would be intact. The game does as much if not more than many HD ports. There are many minor tweaks here and there, the visuals are improved, it has touch screen features, off tv play, Miiverse intergration, gyro support, a first person view, Hero mode, a reworked triforce quest, reworked wind waker controls, remastered audio, a faster sail, shorter load times, huge draw distances, sat nav style navigation. You can even remove all HUD elements from the tv screen and now you can take self portrait photos of link via the pictorgraph. You have a bigger wallet and there are more sea charts to get.
I agree. It's the worst of the home console 3D Zeldas. As for the figurine thing, they already have these codes for points with games, I'm sure they could work out a system that works, for instance when you have your shop account and Nintendo account linked it logs and tracks all the games you have downloaded on the website, this is how I was able to recover all my Wiiware and VC games when Nintendo gave me a new Wii.
Is your wife your former girlfriend at gamespot? Didn't I beat you two on Mario Kart at some point?
I can tell you from first hand experience now, the reviews that gave it low scores were wrong! "How can they be wrong when it's their opinion?" you may ask. Reading the reviews, their complaints about frantic gameplay, poor controls, etc. made it VERY clear they did NOT take the time to play the game properly or learn the MANY nuances of the game. Reviewers either didn't mention important gameplay features or were downright WRONG about them! This is the kind of game you can continue, continue, continue, continue until you get to the end, I guarantee that's what the majority of Bad-Review Score reviewers did. You can button mash and follow prompts, not care about ranking or unlocking extras and mash through to the end. If you want to have FUN and play CORRECTLY, that's were the game absolutely shines and surpasses almost every other action game out there at present. If it's your job to review game after game and you need to finish quickly, you will not "Get" 101. If you are a gamer with a natural curiosity, sense of fun and adventure, you will totally LOVE 101!
Tonight, I think I am going to post a Tips and Tricks topic in the Gaming Discussion forum. Although I won't discuss specific events in the game, I would classify what I am going to write as very SPOILER-ish! Half the fun of 101 is figuring the cool things you can do on your own --BUT-- if NOT understanding how the game works or is played RIGHT is stopping people from getting it, then that's something that needs to be remedied! I have some cool ideas I am going to implement to hide spoilers, but we'll leave those for the actual thread!

Well fuck... this is not going to end well. Not one tiny bit.
You're clearly mistaking me for some other SupremeAC... -_-
And technically she's not my wife. When you've been together for over 9 years, it just becomes too juvenile to say 'my girlfriend' and too complicated to explain to people to bother calling her anything other then 'my wife'.
I agree with you, but that bit in bold is the kicker for me. I don't know if I have time these days to learn nuances of whatever game. I play 2-3 hours online once a week with a friend of mine, and maybe half an hour to an hour twice more a week (if I'm lucky). I don't know if I can muster the time to really master a game anymore. It's a sad state of affairs.
Speaking of which, I just started playing NSLu. I'm liking it. A lot of the levels are very unforgiving, in a way you don't expect from a Mario game. But a level rarely takes over a minute to finish, so it's perfect for me. I can breeze through a world in little over half an hour and come back later to master the levels, getting all 3 star coins and so on.
Call her partner? Life partner? Love of my life?
And Wii Fit is always enjoyed in this household.
Yeah, I usually say 'partner', but for some reason I use wife more on the internet. I don't think I put much thought into it.
Wii Sports Club seems like a neat idea. It's much closer to actual sports, being able to play with people from your region and pay for short periods of play, akin to how you can rent a tennis court for an hour or two, with the software itself being free to everyone. I like the idea. In my mind I could just go 'hey GG, care to play some tennis at 9 this evening?', after which we could just each pay the small sum and hook up for some online multiplayer. Then we could forget to keep track of time differences and spend half an hour waiting around before leaving without having played anything at all.
It's a nice way of bringing Wii Sports to the next gen, and a novel way of paying for software that suits the subject of sports very well in my opinion.
