Thread 723358905

Should I play the GameCube or Wii U version?

the gamecube version will show you chests that you can only get with the fucking gba attachment bullshit.

>>723358905 (OP)
I think gamecube is always the best one to go with. WiiU is more convenient and has more QOL but butchers a lot of the charm by changing the lighting so much. The swiftsail can be modded into the gamecube version if you need it.

>>723358905 (OP)
GC version has better graphics and a lot of the QoL changes for the Wii U go too far in changing the gamefeel without meaningfully lowering the tedium (i.e. a sail that automatically changes the wind for you, so you never tack against a headwind or have to think about when and where you'll move the wind). Either's fine though, it's not like TP where Wii U gets an entire additional equipment slot.

LOOOOOOOOOL i forgot i had this shit on my game boy it was an orange cable

It looks nothing like the original and thre should be an option to turn it off bur I like the HD version lighting. It's like a really bright summer day early in the morning

As someone who prefers original oot/mm over the 3ds versions I think I prefer the wii u version of ww

>>723358905 (OP)
as other said gamecube version looks better but wiiu has good QoL improvements. either can be justified so just pick whichever one appeals to you most

>>723358905 (OP)
GC with the BetterWW patch.

>>723359909
is TP Wii U better than GCN or Wii?

Neither

Yes if only because you can do hero mode + double damage

That's a gritty element, you fucking retard.

Gamecube with this https://github.com/WideBoner/betterww
removes all the bullshit like >>723358953 and brings in the Wii U QoL without raping the artstyle.

And none of those are mandatory.

OP, stick with the Gamecube version, though the Wii U version may be easier to grab assuming you aren't against emulation.

>>723358905 (OP)
The GC original.
The WiiU DEmake looks like fucking UE5 "NINTENDO! HIRE THIS MAN!!" meme, with bloom and fake celshading, and casualizes it even further.

It's not.
Dolphin has been available for nearly 20 years.

>>723364692
I said if he was against emulation, I'm being broad with what he can do.

how old are you

>>723358905 (OP)
do you really need to ask?
