Zelda Skyward Sword - 30 Minutes of Gameplay (GameXplain)

GameXplain:"Skyward Sword had a pretty large presence at Nintendo's E3 booth, with each kiosk allowing access to three different areas of the game. Luckily, we were on-hand and captured complete video of all three."

this better be better than twilight princess! that game sucked!

[dangert]

man i forgot how far behind the 360/ps3 the wii's visuals are nintendo's devs must be in paing watching all these over devs creating beautiful hd content while there still underachieving

[Neckbear]

Hey bro.

Hey, bro.

Wind Waker looks much better than most of that "beautiful HD content" other developers make nowadays. And that was released in 2003, running in last-gen hardware.

Just saying, you don't need raw power to achieve awe-inspiring visuals.

[grailly]

I've heard that nintendo games are internally developed in HD and are then downscaled for the wii. I guess they would'nt have to be jealous after all

[pepsilover_2007]

they dont care for graphics that much they try to make the best gameplay possible then graphics are focused on afterwards

[Question_Mark]

They may be underachieving in graphics, but they are overachieving in everything else. At least in my opinion.

@Neckbear - Couldn't have said it better.

[Mykky]

Nintendo is known for making beautiful graphics out of dated hardware. Just wait until Wii U, the graphics will most likely be on par with Uncharted if not better! Don't get me wrong as there is many Uncharted lovers here. Uncharted is my most beloved franchise alongside Zelda. (Just to clear things up)

[AWBrawler]

Didn't suck, but it definitely was one of the least magical of the Zelda games (literally... no magic meter?) It was barren, not many side quest, wasn't very lively, not as memorable as WindWaker Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time.

[rexbolt]

bir veey lively? then what do u call castle town in tp? most lively i ever seen in many games still today and um tp is far better then oot in story wise and gameplay

[AWBrawler]

i couldn't talk to half of them. that pissed me off. i could talk to everyone in OOT or WW

[parasit3]

Link looks like this now XD:

[Dash Reindeer]

Looks amazing

[bearsfaan]

30 minutes of footage? That's crazy!

[Eternalb]

My girlfriend thinks the new item management system is horrible.

[andresegers]

It is pretty annoying, actually

[zinkabass]

Guys how much does that motion+ clip-on cost?

I think I'll have to get it,.. Did not want to,.. but well,.. it is Zelda and since I have a Wii,..

[andresegers]

$20 I think. Though it may come free with it, like Wii Sports Resort.

[jacksonmichael]

I hope (and this is a long-shot, pun intended) that it comes with that gold Wiimote plus.

[zinkabass]

thanx bro,..
Cannot wait,.. looks awesome

[Lord_Sloth]

Than why didn't it have a good stage presence? All Nintendo ever does is talk and talk and talk. All I wanna see are games. I don't give 2 shits about Tech Demos! I wanna see something solid!

[pepsilover_2007]

one thing i am worried about though is the motionplus seems to get out of alignment alot, in wii sports resort, so i really hope they can fix that issue, other than that it is looking amazing and cant wait, gold wii remote here i come

[andresegers]

As in Wii Sports Resort, you can tap down on the control pad to recalibrate.

[pepsilover_2007]

yea but if ur in a boss battle wouldnt that screw u up a little bit and could get u killed though

[Shok]

I guess that's just Wii Sports Resort. I played the mess outta Red Steel 2 and I never noticed M+ getting out of whack.

[Styxoric]

Trying to avoid watching too many of these Skyward Sword videos, i don't want anything spoiled when i start the game up.

Can't wait :P

[Veni Vidi Vici]

Has anyone released a video that shows the people playing it so we can see this 1:1 swordplay they talked about last year? For all I know, he could be mashing buttons. I have yet to see one video show the people playing it.

[andresegers]

There were several last year that showed such, like this one:

[AWBrawler]

It's looking like an instant classic
