Nintendo started to ramp up promotional efforts for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. We learned about a new amiibo that will be compatible with the game, and a new batch of screenshots are in as well.

Amazing graphics, Nintendo really is doing all they can on this one...

Fraggle19871068d ago

Does that include locking basic content that should be in the game behind a plastic paywall?

@fraggle1987

I think it was sarcasm

CrimsonWing691068d ago

Pretty sure it was sarcasm. The ellipses sorta give it away…

bouzebbal1068d ago

Extremely lazy port.. 0 addition and pay wall implementation behind a piece of plastic. If only fans can boycott this one.. Nintendo have been anti consumer this gen, only living on wiiu library, ports are full price, prices are exact same.. I honestly don't get how people still support them

gold_drake1068d ago

cant tell if sarcasm or not ha

Trying to be subtle, hard to tell who's in Nintendo's pocket

Reminds me of my childhood, being it looks like nothing has been updated.

How much do they want for this? $20?
*checks retail price* oh my....

*sees they're also locking quality of life updates behind a paywall*
Oh ...

MadLad1068d ago

It's unfortunate.
They have great IP on their hands, but instead of being pro consumer, and making use of their popularity in a positive way, they just take advantage of long time fans.

I just want to see them get better.

porkChop1068d ago

I've never played Skyward Sword. I'd like to play it finally but I'm not sure I can justify the price considering the lack of any real enhancements.

MadLad1067d ago

At least when they rereleased Windwaker for the Wii U, they put some effort into enhancing the visuals and the content.

All they did here was pretty much just take a 10 year old game from two generations ago, drop it on the Switch, and call it a day.
$60.

Oh, and you need to pay extra to enjoy simple quality of life elements we've already developed. Better get that amiibo quick, being we like to make limited runs of things in order to get people to panic but virtually everything we make.

Nintendo is the Disney of the videogame world.
I really do enjoy their games, but they treat their fans like crap.

Outlawzz1068d ago

How cool would it have been to get windwaker, twilight, and skyward sword trilogy pack lol one can only dream of a greedyless Nintendo

I'm picking this up for half off on eBay. That's the most I can bear to pay.

Relientk771068d ago

Full price for a minimal effort port

racer221068d ago

20 dollars, not a dime more. Greed.....

Nintendo Select: 5 Switch Games That Deserve A Second Chance

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "The Nintendo Switch has been one Nintendo’s most successful systems ever, both measured by the number of units sold and the quality of its titles, but if there’s one thing this generation has been missing it would have to be the Nintendo Selects line, bringing existing titles that had paid their dues back at bargain prices. With the Switch now entering its twilight years, and there being few new titles in store for the foreseeable future, what better time could there be to bring back this tried-and-true tradition? While the actual realization of it may be doubtful given how rigid both hardware and software prices have become in recent years, that only gives us all the more reason to dream up a hypothetical lineup of our own.

For this article the specific focus will not be on those massive multi-million evergreens that the lineup would no doubt contain a few of to cement its value, but instead on games that for one reason or another fell short of their full potential the first time around and deserve a second chance to reach more players at an affordable price. Let’s get started."

I really want Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch, can't believe that hasen't been ported. I'm playing Skyward Sword at the moment and I'm almost finished, but it's so long and the controls are so bad, even without motion. Astral Chain is fantastic though, they should make a sequel.
