Skyward Sword special edition has a gold Wii remote
Nintendo announced today information regarding a limited edition bundle for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The package, which will retail for $69.99, comes packaged with a gold controller. Additionally, every copy of Skyward Sword from the initial production run -- standard and special editions -- will have a compact disc with orchestral arrangements of songs from the series which will be played at upcoming 25th anniversary concert performances. I had pretty much forgotten about Skyward Sword, truth be told. I always have the feeling that I know more or less what I'm getting with Zelda titles and that there's always one somewhere on the horizon. That gold Wii remote does look pretty baller, though. If I didn't already have five remotes that I don't use, I'd be all over that. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

Man I wish they did nice stuff like this for the Kirby Wii game. I would buy the super rarest best edition of Kirby. @VicYoungblood: What can I say? I've never been all that interested in 3D Zelda games and therefore they don't spend a lot of time in my consciousness. There's no doubt in my mind that Nintendo will also release a limited edition matching gold nunchuck, and it will sell like hotcakes. @Canaroo: When, exactly, was that? Because I must have forgotten that too. I was cool at some point and now I can't remember what it was like. God, this is torture.
