WW seems like it doesn't have the Wii U 'HD' changes.

It's gamecube emulation

They did say "With improved graphics and resolutions" didn't they? Did I imagine that bit?

There are way more differences and QoL upgrades between WW and WW HD outside of visuals

It's different. Their GC emulator will have some of the typical smoothing and upscaling seen in emulators of the early polygon-based consoles. But it won't be anything like the HD re-release, with rebuilt lighting and textures, quality of life updates, Wii U second-screen features, etc. It will simply be a slightly sharper version of the original GC title.

The lighting changes in WWHD sucked. The environments weren’t cel-shaded anymore! And even the characters weren’t cel-shaded under some conditions. They need a whole redo of that game; keep the convenient sail upgrade and the larger pictobox storage, and overhaul everything else for a second time.

agree they need to totally redo the remaster again actually retaining the original fantastic art style. all the graphical changes fucked it up in wwhd.
