Skyward Sword is gonna be sick. Can't wait to be playing it with my gold Wiimote.

Zelda games have always had good soundtracks, but I'm willing to bet Skyward Sword will far surpass ~all~ the others.

I heard this theme a few days ago. Couldn't help but it but to me it's very japanese like( but not in the traditional sense ).

Absolutely love it.
Hope they do more of that just like how Majora's Mask had lot's of these things.

Thanks for the link!
This is great, it totally reminds me of 銀河鉄道999(Galaxy Express 999).

i hope this sets the standard for any game that still decides to use motion controls on the Wii U, the generation of waggle has to die and let the true motion control games take over

--Onilink--4587d ago (Edited 4587d ago )

as for the disagree, whether we like it or not, motion controls are still gonna be part of the next gen. Move, Kinect and Wiimotes, so developers might as well look at how good a game can be when motion control is done properly. As the article says, maybe if this Zelda (and M+) had been released alonside Wii Sports and show what could be done with good controls, 95% of this generation wouldnt be waggle fest

This is a game I'd dreamed about ever since the Wii was announced 5 years ago. If this game can pull of the motion control scheme, I will forgive Nintendo for the the mess that was Twilight Princess.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
