Fans of Nintendo’s cel-shaded, seafaring Zelda entry have been waiting for the company to port the HD remaster of Wind Waker for the Wii U to the Switch just like it’s done with nearly every other Wii U game. When the company revealed GameCube games coming to Switch Online, it seemed like a clear signal that was never going to happen. But it turns out there might still be hope, thought it sounds slim.
Kinda Funny Games co-host Tim Gettys recently said that he’d asked the senior VP of product development and publishing at Nintendo of America if the Switch Online port precluded the Wii U version from still being brought forward at some point. “He was very quick to say no, like all options are on the table,” Gettys said. “Obviously nothing’s confirmed one way or another but there are many examples of games that are on NSO and you can still get them in a different way whether it’s a remake or just the same port version or whatever it is, so interesting that they didn’t say it’s not happening but essentially it was ‘never say never, it’s Nintendo.’” – EG
