Why the Wii MotionPlus Likely Led to Star Fox, Icarus, and Zelda Delays

Gamervision senior writer Coop claims that the reason why we aren't playing Star Fox, Kid Icarus or Zelda right now is because of the Wiimotion Plus, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Makes sense. If they knew better control technology was coming out why wouldn't they wait?

SpoonyRedMage5396d ago

Well it's likely in the case of Zelda as Miyamoto said he wants to fully implement it in the proper Zelda Wii.

Star Fox and Kid Icarus might not even have been planned at all.

EvilTwin5396d ago

True. Even though Motion+ was just released, it was introduced at E3 '08. To even get to the announcement last year, it had to be in development for a little while.

If the folks developing LoZ knew this was in the pipeline (but not close to finished form), why bother releasing another Zelda that would have had controlled pretty much like Twilight Princess?

This explains why only concept art was shown at this year's E3, instead of a full-blown trailer. It might take another two years to get the title out. Big N doesn't rush Link.

Seriously any one complaining about delaying any of those games is foolish or just a fanboy of another console.

IF these games where coming and will use motion+ it will transform them into what we wanted from the beginning. I will be getting the next zelda just because of that!

Also star fox needs to go back to the ideas in the snes version period. It is very lame right now.

Any one complaining right now is a little silly. Also have you guys noticed that the so called zelda fans are mostly HD gamers?

On top of this it just seems like another rant to say some thing bad about the Wii it seems. HD gamers wait on avg 3 to 4 years to get games that are hyped and most of these games are not even announced to be in development.

Well if Motion Plus was the reason or not I'd like to have a new Star Fox game :)

Shnazzyone5396d ago

OOoo New star fox with motion +... sounds like a worthwhile wait for some top rate titles. Wonder if galaxy 2 will have any motion + goodness.

Gen0ne5396d ago

But I'm more interested if they introduce online co-op. If they do that, aww man. Too good to be true. I want all three of these games yesterday anyway. So whenever they come, it isn't soon enough.

...Is what I thought it said, sigh!

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno82d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic113d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast113d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul113d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.
