Nintendo formally announces Zelda Wii

Nintendo has just unveiled their brand new Zelda title for Wii at their E3 2010 press conference.

[gameseveryday]

Hell yeah, finally a zelda game.

[Valay]

Yup! Though I'm surprised they started off with it.

[Trollimite]

but the wii motion plus isn't as solid as i hoped it would be, he couldn't even swing the sword right ad he made the game. its still in alpha though (i hope)

[StanLee]

Yeah. Live streaming the conference now and if that's the accuracy of motion plus, it's not very responsive. Also the presentation itself is flat.

[Redempteur]

Interferences.. ( like with the bow )

[Anarki]

Meh.... You'd think Miyamoto would know how to play by now..

[WhittO]

wow, that really looked bad compared to how accurate Move is.

Edit: Unless its because of faults, but it still looked like it was just a bunch of present moves with the sword.

Atleast Nintendo doesn't hire actors to pretend to play their games!

[Danteh]

ZELDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ALL SHUT UP CAUSE ZELDA IS HERE :D

there were some problems in stage but I'm sure the new controls will be fucking awesome

But Miyamoto should have learned to freaking play games after 30 years in the industry haha

[zireno]

not to sound a little harsh, but I prefer some difficulties on a live demo, than a staged presentation like microsoft did. anyway, I know it'll handle well when it releases.

[Bnet343]

The release date is 2011, eh. :/

[-Alpha]

That's a good thing.

Funny, Nintendo already surpassed my expectations.

Nintendo seems to be back. I can't believe I'm seeing good, hardcore games.

[Daver]

the game looks great but the wii sucks, the sword was not even following his movements even before the interference

[teedogg80]

Yeah it was kind of a sloppy demonstration.

[jack_burt0n]

brutal fail feel for nintendo

[Smacktard]

The trailer looks awesome, but seeing Shiggy play it on-stage was utterly embarrassing and completely made me lose hope. The sword wasn't following his movements, neither did the shield, the bomb, the beetle, and especially not the bow. I've lost hope.

[Raf1k1]

Just been watching this and the motion controls don't seem very responsive. He started saying he was getting interference as well.

Anyone know if this is likely to have an option to play normally without motion controls?

[Valay]

Nice way to start off!

[ElementX]

Already better than the MS conference!

[The Great Melon]

Agreed. I am reading a live blog and just saw the words Zelda and thought that. Sounds like I am finally getting the Zelda I wanted back when Twilight Princess released.

EDIT: I really wish I could see this but I am at work and flash isn't installed. =(

[FunAndGun]

The gameplay demo on E3 looks really...um, something.

edit: wow, I hope it really is a control problem or the wireless interference, because he is apologizing....and it is not looking good. :(

[renegade]

MMm he had problmes with motion controller

[PLAYstar]

Oh my... Nintendo just won the Xbox360 on this year E3! It might not be as precise as the MOVE, but atleast it is showing that it works LIVE with no pre-recording or fake acting.

Its Mario sport!! That put the Kinect sport into slump..

[Bumpmapping]

Fucking sweet

[MajestieBeast]

If thats 1:1 then whats sony cause thats looking about 10x as responsive. Lets hope they fix the unresponsive controls.

[jack_burt0n]

the motion tracking is awful this is really embarassing

oh my god cringe cringe

the fail is terrible

I cant watch he is blaming ppl using wifi

OK that was just upsetting :(

[Jrome]

I actually feel bad watching this. First kinect...now wii motion plus.

[jack_burt0n]

that was brutally awful feel really bad for him

[Alcon Caper]

I'm right there with you. Wireless interference! Sounds like a football penalty....

[ElementX]

kinect was much better, even with the lag.

[Nike]

Lol. The game's got potential (love the concept), and the graphics don't look too over-grimy like Twilight Princess but not too cartoony like Wind Waker. But this is gonna need a LOT of work.

Still, at least it's a game with actual gameplay mechanics. Take notes, Microsoft.

It can be tested on the show floor. Really hoping we can get some more videos up. And it seems it'll be released next year. Good enough time to iron the kinks out.

[Deathracer]

Like this wasn't a surprise

[iliimaster1]

i like zelda but i want normal controls lol mannnnnnnnnnnnnn ima still buy it though its zelda

[R2D2]

Zelda is the reason I a gamer to the bone.

Game of the year for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HyperBear]

APPLE WIFI.....MAJOR GLITCH. People gotta stop blogging, lol

[renegade]

the fuckin wireless things people damn i want to see this XD

[JEDI WOLVERINE]

Same sound effects, graphics - everything.

Just a slightly different control system

Still the game has been on for 15 minutes so i guess this is there biggy - the game doesn't work with a wireless interefence either lololololololololololololol

The game is laggggggggggggggggiiiiinnnnnng gggggggg

Hahahahahahahha

Nintendo have flopped

3 more hours and Sony are gonna flop too

[Kingdom Come]

I find it funny how your first line sum's up Killzone 3...

[StarScream4Ever]

The lag time scares me.

[Orange Juice]

I would be all over this if you have the option to use a traditional control scheme. I would hate it if they tried to force me to conform to those controls.

[MGOelite]

omg its terrible watching this, the bow is so embarrasing

[kewlkat007]

..A new Zelda sounds good.

[Jeff257]

Even with the dodgy controls this is still better than the MS conference yesterday. At least Nintendo is showing real time gameplay.

[HyperBear]

I guess watching live demos of Gears of War 3, Halo Reach, Black Ops and All the Kinect stuff wasn't real-time live gameplay. Must have been cgi right?

EDIT: Yea I knew what you were getting at, but they did show everything real-time, and all that kinect crap was real. But is was really boring...

[Jeff257]

None of the kinect stuff was real time unless it was the voice activated stuff. Granted the demos at the beginning that they completely ran through too fast was real time but what most people will take away from yesterday is how awful and recorded the kinect stuff was.

[Somnipotent]

and with that nintendo trumps microsoft... wow, that was easy :)

[Deathracer]

Really? They are having wireless problems, and the guy says "Flick of the wist" Nintendo fails.

[Somnipotent]

at least it was real time and not fabricated like some of the things microsoft was trying to pass off

[R2D2]

.

[Brklynty1]

Or Miyamoto just plain sucks XD, Zelda FTW!

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Off topic..

Can someone link me to a site that will stream the Sony conference?
I tried Gamespot for Microsoft's but the damn buffering was intense!

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Try G4's website or if your home they're showing it live on G4.

[NnT3291]

[NexGen]

Thank you for forcing me to (slightly more precisely) waggle again!

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Zelda's presentation is the worse I ever seen in a E3. It's hard to see this. This presentation is falling apart badly.

[Baka-akaB]

what happened you werent there yesterday ? :p

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

What was wrong with Microsoft's E3? Of course the countless sony fanboy sites are going to scream crap.

Halo Reach gameplay? CHECK!
Gears of War 3 looks incredible and will possibly be the game of E3.
Being a sportsaholic the ESPN addition is right up my ally.
Kinect looks to try to capture the casual crowd. I don't care for it but Microsoft is betting heavy on it.
I do like how you can use Kinect to control your 360 with movies and such. It's starting to feel like the future.
A few teasers of new games but they're just teasers.

And of course the 360 upgrade which will end up being the biggest news of e3. Picking mine up next week.

I can guarantee that Sony will show anooooother GT5 video and a bunch of teasers which is what they're know for. Sony is the king of smoke and mirrors. But it really doesn't matter what they show because the silly sony fanboys will come out with their typical OMFG TEH BEST EVR!!!!

I took a break from this site. They're much better gaming sites out there. I can't believe some of you are still bickering about the same things. LOL.

[gamingisnotacrime]

because yesterday bt general consent was the reason why some people thought E3 was going to die a few years ago, boooooring and fake

[Baka-akaB]

see , from the very first minutes it's already miles better than MS' conference

[WetN00dle69]

Dude really.........its as boring as waiting at the DMV maybe even worse. .....The Zelda game was about the best so far....

[omimasum]

Obviously the guy CAN control the game, he developed it for god sake, but there is obviously a problem like interference or incorrect calibration

[Checkmate]

is going on with these press conferences. i feel almost as awkward watching this than watching the skittles demo. nintendo f*ed up. tsk tsk

[user1337]

sometimes it just wouldnt do what they wanted it to do.

[MechaGear]

showing that everything is live game play here, unlike that ms show of yesterday where the game (re)acted before the player ^^

http://i48.tinypic.com/wh0a...

[tweet75]

ouch I just got a bad feeling when I saw that.

[etownone]

Yup same here.

also It looks the graphics have gotten worse since TP too.

An this was the main reason I stayed to watch nintendos e3

[midgard227]

y does it look so bad, i mean its still a year off, but i dunno why if last story looks so amazing yet nintendo cant make a game look as good. i hope the story is good atleast, or the game changes....bleh zelda such potential, so little used

[WetN00dle69]

The game itself doesnt look all that amazing graphic wise Twilight Princess looks better BUT then again its an early version. Anyways the game looks fun though.

[Brklynty1]

Still better than M$ conference XD at least they showed something worth to go nuts about. The next conference will make gamers everywhere come to a halt with its insane announcements.

[bigjclassic]

messing with the Wireless interference. LMAO

[HOSe]

sounds terrible looks terrible - the wii is terrible . nintendo isn't even trying anymore cuz if they were , there would be a new console coming in november. one that isnt a gamecube with motion controls.

[akaFullMetal]

now they are showing mario volleyball, what else is mario going to do

[theonlylolking]

airsoft? Paintball? yoga? boxing?

[gamingisnotacrime]

Miyamoto is kick ass

Reggie is just an ahole

[labwarrior]

worst even than Zelda TP that destroyed the game, now got 10x worst

I hated Zelda TP, found it terrible looking and a reharse with terrible controls, but the new one goes 100x worst in every way

So, after FF series death, Zelda died too, it is simple, people DO run out of ideas and stop amaze

Sad stuff, REALLY sad stuff

[DigitalAnalog]

It's disastrous..... they should've gotten a back-up video.

Goes to show.... anything can happen in e3!

AT LEAST IT'S NOT PRE-RECORDED! MIYAMOTO THE MAN!

-End statement

[jack_burt0n]

i had to stop watching :(

[theonlylolking]

boring

[iliimaster1]

take notes guys !!!!!!!!!! i love it

[Justin_bristoe]

i liked windwaker better

[Ryuk]

Sony crashing the nintendo party with wireless jammers and shit. Typical droids as usual

[R6ex]

Nintendo Wii's lacklustre games, controller lag & last-gen graphics are just hopeless.

Get an Xbox, PS or PC!

[gamingisnotacrime]

i am not interested either, but wii owners, FAMILIES are in for a treat. all those games were very family friendly and kids just love mario and zelda. it wont win hd gamers but they did their job

[kaos_fish II]

GoldenEye just announced!

[R6ex]

Am sure such a title will look much better on the Xbox & PS3.

[kaos_fish II]

since it's a Wii exclusive, I very much doubt that

[Optical_Matrix]

Looks nuts :O Do want!

[TheColbertinator]

Sweet.Twilight Princess FTW

[EvilTwin]

There isn't a much bigger way to kick off a conference than with Zelda. The hands-on articles making the rounds have me relieved that the controls are spot-on. That's the most important thing. I dig the menu interface, too. Point to what you want, equip, use.

All of that said...I'm just not feeling the visuals yet. I mean...I love the WW style, and I love the TP style. This is kind of meeting in the middle...so I should frickin' love it. But I'm sort of ambivalent about the overall look right now.
