Oh shit yeah! The Wii is still a thing.

I thought that had passed.

This game looks boring. Needs more blood and sexual themes.

I can only see Link with huge lips in that header.

Still dunno about skyward sword

"Can we get some of those other cool games localized, please!?"

This.

Honestly, I haven't been too excited about Skyward Sword, and I'm typically a huge fan of Zelda. Maybe it was the uninspired dungeon design and slow pacing of Twilight Princess (the first 3/4 of it). Or maybe I'm just getting jaded after years and years of Zelda.

The previews haven't really filled me with confidence either--the latest trailer made the fighting seem a lot more stilted and haphazard compared to regular button pressing.

I don't know. I think I'm just getting too old or something. *sigh*

I giggled at "the beefburger boss" :P But I honestly can't wait for this game to come out! It's driving me nuts!

There's always E3 Jim! Plus the Reginator said that there would be announcments before E3! There's still hope Jim!

I'm somewhat excited for this Zelda, but the anticipation is no where near for what it was for Twilight Princess.

So has anybody heard anything about Dragon Quest X?

The only thing I can think of is a simultaneous international release to still be relevant on the Wii. At least if I look at the entire lineup of Wii games for this year.

Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me, Reggie!

@Jim

There's so much they could localise, but Nintendo need to get off their arses and sort it out Last Story, Xenoblade, and Captain fucking Rainbow. All I've got to look forward to on Wii is Zelda. How can Nintendo think to not release/hype titles for release for Wii this year? Christ, if they're worreid about franchise saturation there's still Starfox, Pikmin 3 and F-Zero they could release - titles people would be actually interested in playing.

Run, Link! Run!

We still got Rhythm Heaven and a new Kirby, anyways I don't need more Wii games right now.

There's already a gazillion PS3 games coming out this year, it'll probably take me 2-3 years to get through all of them. Plus there's the 3DS release coming soon

the current Wii drought isn't a bad thing for me, gives me a chance to get through my Wii backlog, and buy some Wii games I haven't gotten to yet. I'm sure Nintendo has a few games up their sleeve for E3 though. Starfox Wii? maybe

I would like to see localizations of Earth Seeker & Xenoblade aswell

God, I can't wait for this.

Knowing it's going to be so awesome only makes the wait worse :-/

He did say that they're holding off on Wii announcements until after the Pokemon and 3DS launches, so I suspect we'll hear about some cool Wii stuff at E3. Maybe those new Rhythm Heaven and Kirby games will make an appearance?

There's no such thing as a bad Zelda game. Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie. My Wii needs some lovin!

When does Reggie lie?

If executed will, this could be better than OoT.


Wait, MM is better than OoT
Just like LTTP, WW, TP, etc....



Fuck OoT

Since.?

I'm so depressed that I feel nothing at all for this game. I remember being so retarded excited for Wind Waker and even Twilight Princess which was a rather mediocre Zelda game. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised when I get to play it?

That water-color style is making me wet for this game. C'mon Link! Make me a fanboy again!

As long as its better than that crap called TP I'm all in.

I'm with you Nitex. Everything about it sort of just screams bland at me. It's the first Zelda game I've not been in the least bit excited for. I just hope my pessimism is proven wrong.

I'm actually looking forward to Ocarina of Times 3DS rerelease more and God knows how many times I've played that.

On the plus side I've finally gotten round to playing Spirit Tracks, so I've got my Zelda fix down for the moment.

Surely it got a lot prettier/colorful since last time, or am i crazy?

I just hope they don't try to make an "Ocarina of Time REDUX" as Twilight Princess tried to, but it seems that it's not the case.

This game's going to be amazing. If you want the proof, go play Wii Sports Resort.

Swordfighting - Sword
Airplane - Beetle
Basketball/Bowling - Bomb
Archery - Archery
Skydiving - Skydiving

The whole game is like a gigantic beta for Zelda, and the games actually worked almost perfectly on Wii Sports Resort already.

Moar! Tessellation!

Zelda, Kirby, Rhythm Heaven, upcoming E3 announcements, and possibly The Last Story and/or Xenoblade isn't that bad of a lineup for the next year or so.

I can't wait to play this. It looks incredible, it sounds like the story will actually relate to other games in the series, the new items look fun, the famous Zelda formula appears to have been messed with... I need it. Now.

I didn't like it at first but the art style of Skyward Sword is growing on me. Still, the combat looks a bit...slow. Like the game has to slow down so anyone could be good with a sword. I'm still skeptical.

@mushmage: "Possible" isn't "confirmed," though.

Yeah, I'll play some games on my Wii, but the last title that saw serious time was No More Heroes 2 and Monster Hunter Tri.

Much like the GameCube, my Wii collect's dust for the most part. Still, Nintendo keeps giving me reasons to keep it around -- just not very often. :(

I love Zelda, but I'm positive that outside of gameplay innovation that this is going to be relatively the same game we've been playing for two decades now.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing, of course. Pokemon gets rave review and following after little real innovation, as well.

@Noir
YES! Simply YES!

I still think we'll see some of those Japan-only titles announced for localization at E3, but I guess we'll see.

(Reggie did mention there are definitely more titles and surprises in store for the Wii this year.)

The promise of zelda is the only reason I got a Wii and what is keeping it on life support. They need to get it out asap as long as that doesn't mean they cut quality corners.

They also need to move on titles like Last Story and the likes because well the Wii could really use some more lasting titles.

If they even want people to take a Wii-2 seriously they have to put the brakes on minigame shovelware and show that the Wii can consistently deliver the same quality as the other consoles. I say consistently because the Wii does have some powerhouse titles ..... that are blotted out by an ocean of shovelware.

Yeah im sort of pissed at NIntendo of America for not fighting for ports of Last Story and Xenoblade, not that the new zelda and the 3DS are not cool but I own a wii now and I have been waiting a year now for a title that is actually worth buying.

If it makes you feel any better, neither Xenoblade nor The Last Story could have been very good.

If they were good, then they would have sold a bit on the recommendations of gamers. So let's ignore the first week's sales, and look at the number of people who could have bought The Last Story and Xenoblade on recommendation rather than legacy.

So lets look at the second+ week sales of the games:

http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales/42967/the-last-story/

http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales/42966/xenoblade/

After the first week, sales of both games dropped like a rock, with new IP Last Story dropping even faster than Xenoblade. Last Story isn't even in the top 50 anymore: http://thesilentchief.com/2011/03/04/top-50-game-sales-in-japan-psp-software-held-its-own-against-3ds/

From this I have to assume that since almost no one is willing to buy the game week two, after it is possible to get some hands on time to try the title and the second opinions of friends, it must be the case that neither game is very good. If they were good, then people would want to buy the games after having had a chance to try them, and friends would recommend the games to friends, especially in the case of a new IP like The Last Story. The sales would NOT tend so close to zero this quickly.

How did they get Angelina Jolie to play Link?

"Can we get some of those other cool games localized, please!?"


Yeah, NOA...Fuckin' PLEASE?!

I was actually getting ready to say some good Nintendo Innovation would be to localize all the good shit your hogging over there ass hats. This is why most grown-up gamers consider the Wii a fucking joke. Not only are they hogging all the good shit but they JUST ABOUT ONLY release kids games here in America.

Why do I expect Nintendo to realize Zelda isn't a kids game so they will cancel it for anywhere besides Japan. So glad I only paid $50 for my Wii.

Am I the only one that the graphics on this look terrible compared to BOTH Wind Waker and Twilight Princess? It looks like they're trying to straddle both of them and in the process making something that just looks kind of awkward.

I'm sure it'll still PLAY well but I wish they'd just chosen to go with one direction or the other.

Wow, Jim. What about the Kirby Wii game! I thought we were Kirby fans/bros. ;-;
Well it's my most anticipated game for Wii upcoming. So there.

Well at least we'll get ONE Nintendo game that uses Wii Motion Plus before it is replaced by the next console.

I love this graphical style, although i think some of the organic enemies would be better suited if made to look more real (like that boar thing that looks straight out of wind waker). That boar thing just doesn't look right with the skeleton guards looking more mature. But I love the textures, it's really just enemy shapes/designs i'm a little concerned about, for consistency's sake.

Lol, riiight, Nintendo, keep thinking that.

I buy like every Nintendo game, yet I look at this game and it looks bland, boring and ultimately the same game I've played a million times already.

And Nintendo, stop being lazy and satisfy your fans. Localize The Last Story.

Its surprising we have so many people pessimistic about Skyward Sword, given there's only like three minutes of footage and it being playable on the E3 show floor.

Also, how do you guys know they're not localizing The Last Story.

Have we learned nothing from Atlus - these PR guys just love to get you worked up and worried. Its going to happen - sometimes they just can't say anything until they're cleared to.

I liked Nintendo gameso much and their Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was it has their full motion control enabled by the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which synchronizes player movements with Link's actions while offering intuitive play control.<a href="http://www.slycams.com">hot naked girls for chat</a>
