Imagine if next Direct, maybe in June, Nintendo does the same thing with Wind Waker HD. It gets collectors who also can't wait to impulsively download the game, so now they own it twice. Shadow-dropping remasters of GameCube games in a Nintendo Direct for 40 bucks, with a physical version coming shortly thereafter. ![]() This could be such a smart business strategy for Nintendo moving forward.
