Nintendo - Zelda Bonus Disc Hands-On, 2004 Releases Trailed

Thanks to Game Informer for their hands-on impressions of Legend Of Zelda: Collector's Edition, as the GameCube bundle/bonus compilation approaches release. The article describes "The first two old-school games [The Legend Of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link] look just as they did when they released way back in the day", and shows comparison screenshots for the N64 titles [The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask], for which "...the graphics are now in high-res." Elsewhere, 1UP has news on Nintendo release dates for 2004, as "The four-player GameCube Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is still on track for February 9", and "will share that ... release date with Metroid: Zero Mission for Game Boy Advance... [which] expands on the original 8-bit Metroid adventure with revised levels, new story elements, and other added features."

Haha?

Is this a joke? Look at the screenshots...it becomes clear that if you want to play N64 games, you're better off buying a cheap used N64 from eBay. I honestly couldn't believe that the ones with poor draw distance were the GameCube version. But sadly, look at the image names. The columns are not mislabeled, it really does look that bad. All the advantages of "high-res" go right out the window when you don't update the textures at the same time. And there are sound errors now? So not only is the game not updated for the new console, it's not even as good as the first version. Maybe Nintendo should take some programming tips from the evil emulator community.
