[NEW] DEFINITIVE VERSION: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE WIND WAKER

direct


A divisive release that had a fanbase in shambles. Expecting a bigger darker follow up to Majora's mask. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker's toon-like visuals took everyone by surprise. Similar to games like Street Fighter III, time has been kind to Wind Waker and many look back on the release fondly as a nice change of pace with some of the best puzzles the series has to offer.

DEFINITIVE VERSION

&direct

The Definitive Version of Resident Evil is the Director’s Cut [Dual Shock] release for Playstation from 1998. One of the main changes from the original was the fact that the Dual Shock controller added a vibration function that truly adds to the excitement of this horror classic. Another major difference in this release, which, arguably contributed to a better, more immersive gameplay experience, was the new soundtrack, which gave the game a noticeably scarier, goth-type of feel to the game, as opposed to the original music which sounded more “electrical” and video-game like at the time. This Definitive Version is not necessarily perfect, but overall, you will have the most balanced and authentic horror game experience with this release.
