The problem, those systems are already in gamers living rooms\/dens and have a ton of good games, many still to come. It&#8217;s never safe to count Nintendo out, especially when you&#8217;re an long time fan of their mainstay franchises, and they&#8217;ve certainly taken a big step towards winning over gamers with today&#8217;s announcement of <em>The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD<\/em>, a full-HD remake of the classic Nintendo Gamecube game. Unlike many HD &#8216;remakes&#8217; release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which are little more than uprezzed versions of classic games, with little attention to detail given to updating the gameplay for a new audience, this appears to be a full remake. Think, if you will, the remake of <em>Resident Evil<\/em> released for the Gamecube, rather than the recent remake of <em>Okami<\/em> for the PlayStation 3. Both are terrific games, but the ideals behind the remakes are entirely different.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1

The bloom lighting is a little much, but I&#8217;m banking on the idea that it will look more organic and impressive during gameplay.
