The Japanese site for Twilight Princess HD is up, and there's a lot of new information and screenshots up with it. Looks like a hero mode (with a mirrored world) is confirmed, along with the new item for poes. Plenty of other stuff out now as well.

Thoughts? Observations?

All the GamePad features they are using were quite expected, quite nice nevertheless, and will make playing through this game again even more pleasant. I prefer aiming the Bow in third-person than from Link's eyes, though.

Funnily enough, mirroring the world for Hero Mode will make it like the Wii version, which some people (like myself) are more familiar with so it will be easier to play through for them compared to the standard way. Double damage doesn't change much on its own since it's easy to avoid damage in TP.

Miiverse stuff is meh. Stamps make all the posts you see feel lazy. I at least hope there is a way to disable seeing them in-game. Usually there is.

I still don't entirely understand what this "Ghost Torch" item does. With it, can you actually catch Poes during daytime or only see where they are at that time? It would be convenient to not have to stand around waiting for nighttime when you have nothing else to do in the area.

That was my first thought as well. They should have called it "Wii Nostalgia mode". XD

I guess I'll be playing it the Wii way again if I want that hero mode. Its dissapointing as I wanted to have it the proper way around, but since my only major gameplay complaint about the original was it was too easy I'm not going to be playing easy mode when there is a harder one.

I don't like making the mirrored version hero mode exclusive. You should be able to choose mirrored and non mirrored for both normal and hero mode.

Wait.....
So there are fifty more things to collect in the entirety of TP.
That's amazing actually. That will fill the world up with more things to do!
I don't actually use them, but they are fantastic for a completionist.
I guess they see fixing a big problem of TP for me as well.

Keep in mind there's also Ganondorf mode.

True, but that requires buying an amiibo. There's also the fact that some of us would like to combine both. Me for example.

 

[Zephyren]

I am actually really excited about this game. I really cannot wait for it to come out. I wonder if the ganondorf mode works with the hero mode.

 

[Soul]

Well if it doesn't then that's going to be the most stupid decision ever.

 

[Spirit]

Mirrored mode for the wii lovers. That is a mode that I wont be using at all.

Nice that you can pin-point the poes, but it does rather defeat the object of looking and exploring in an exploration game. Don't have to use it I suppose, just like you dont need to use the map to find the owl statues.

Still looking forward to it even though I still play my GC version regularly.

I would have included an item that turns night to day and vice versa since Poe hunting can be irritating when you find one at the break of dawn and it disappears.

True but what about the folk who want an easier game? They can't play mirrored and normal on easy. They have to hit up hero mode for mirrored.

I reckon they wanted to keep it in line with Master Quest. At least the 3DS version. I can't remember if it was mirrored on Gamecube. Regardless, I'm happy they didn't waste the mirrored world they already had created.

Pardon my ignorance, but is there actually anyone who would want an easier Twilight Princess?

Well, there's even more stuff out, like a new trailer. I have to say, this one actually impressed me a little bit - quite a few scenes look really good now. It looks like the trailer might offer some clarification on a few things as well.

Aaaaand they completely ruined hero mode...oh well, it's better to do a three heart challenge anyway.
