VIDEO: How does Wind Waker HD compare to the original?

MCV Staff 12th September 2013 Business News

A new video has offered a direct comparison between the 1080p visuals offered by The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD and the GameCube original.

Wind Waker HD is released in the UK for Wii U on October 4th. It was already a visually stunning game, so the jump to full HD is expected to do wonders.

The video below from Nintendo shows both versions running side by side. The resolution and draw-distance increases are clear to see and offer a significant advantage. Fans may react less positively to the changes in the lighting, however.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
