Hi everyone! I would like to talk about my thoughts on The Legend Of Zelda Wind Waker HD for the Wii U. To start off I remember playing this game on the Gamecube, I loved the cartoon aspect of the game and the unique storyline. Anyway I wanted to ask those of you who may own this game. Is it worth picking up again? My little sister has a Wii U and we both play it when I'm not working or something like that. I know she's a big fan of the series, even if I don't really have the time to play it often, I know it would make her happy. Anyway thoughts anyone?

Nintendo is now ever closer to falling off that slippery slope they have landed on. Nintendo's recent Next-Gen console, the Wii U, was met with positive feedback at launch, but since it has dwindled due to a lack of exclusives and games. The company originally targeted the sales of the Wii U at 9 Million consoles, they have demolished this number down to a mere 2.8 Million by the end of march, a major loss on their part. The successful 3DS also took a hit, going down from 18 Million to 13 Million. Nintendo forcasted profits of 55 Billion yen originally, but they are now in a deep hole expecting a net loss of 25 Billion yen. It is sales in the US and European markets causing this, as they were significantly lower then Nintendo expected. "In particular, sales in the US and European markets in which we entered the year-end sales season with a hardware markdown were significantly lower than our original forecasts, with both hardware and software sales experiencing a huge gap from their targets," As said, the 3DS surprisingly did not perform to the best of it's abilities either, as it was seemingly met with critical success at first. Currently, we are not aware of the 3DS' earnings, but it likely fared better then Nintendo's Wii U. "Using the US market as an example, Nintendo 3DS became the top-selling platform in the last calendar year... however, the estimated annual sales of the Nintendo 3DS hardware remain significantly lower than our initial forecast at the beginning of the fiscal year."
