Reggie offers a very revealing and informative review with Games Blog, discussing DLC, what he's playing on other systems, and lots of praise for Super Mario 3D Land and Skyward Sword.
On Topic: I don't think so either. The game may very well be the best game ever created based on what most people are saying..... IMO it looks revolutionary and a gameplay masterpiece. The only thing that might hold it back are the hardware limitations of the Wii...
So, I’ve played Battlefield [3] on the home consoles, I’ve played it on PC. I’ve played some Gears of War to see how that played, I played a little Resistance [3]. You know, I think it’s important for me to have knowledge, insight on everything that’s coming out. I got to see Skyrim at E3, and I’m looking forward to seeing that. But I try to get my hands on everything."
(from article) Q: "Now, what other parts of the holiday lineup–maybe not necessarily Nintendo releases–are you excited about?"
A: "Let’s talk a little bit about 3DS."
It's the way he talks... he's such a fake douche. If he wanted to segue into promoting, 3DS, there's better ways of doing it besides the alpha dominate I control the conversation marketing ploy... "Let’s talk a little bit about 3DS."
imagine if it had amazing graphics, it truly will be a complete masterpeice....in history it wont look that good as games like Uncharted will outshine because of the better visuals.....people will be all like "why does skyward sword look so much worse than Uncharted"
I never liked Zelda and only briefly skimmed the article but saying no game will compare to it is pretty ridiculous.
"I don’t know if there’s going to be a video game in history that’s going to be able to compare to Skyward Sword."
" I can’t commit that there’s going to be another game that will score and be of the caliber of Skyward Sword. I don’t think there’s been one to date."
Seriously what is he talking about? He doesn't even say in what areas nothing will compare.
Graphics??? LOL.
Story? Possibly but come on there are games out there with deep, emotional stories that can end differently depending how you play.
Gameplay? It's not out yet but can't imagine it is on some other level no games have touched.
Audio? Again it's not out yet but the soundtracks and effects of other games are top notch and I don't know what this could possibly bring.
Haha yeah okay, I'm a fake gamer even though I bought the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, and bought ALL my games legit, buy on average 3 games a month. I gave away my Wii to my cousins but I don't want to buy another Wii just for this game.
I can get it for the PC for better visuals and just getting the controllers (MORE money for Nintendo and their over-priced peripherals) but no....I'm a fake gamer because some child on the internet says so. Lool okaaaay...
Lot of games have screwed up audio with the Dolphin, and audio is a major part of this game (and most others). I bought Xenoblade Chronicles and also tried it on the PC. While I got fine fps, the audio was completely screwed up in comparison. While I haven't played with the Dolphin a lot, I haven't found in the few games I've tried that the audio is up to snuff. Not that this is a new thing, as audio is almost always the last thing emulators get perfect (took years for the SNES emulators).
@Meekat - I was thinking the same thing but hold off till next year when the WiiU hits becuase they will have a WiiU version of Skyward Sword which will be much better,
The game was still meant to be played with a wii remote plus, I can't imagine a touch pad improving it without entirely changing the game. It is the best thing to come out of the wand motion era, and the amount of time Nintendo spent making it really does not compare to other games.(Especially motion ones) Everyone should try it on Wii now while its fresh, rather than an emulator that probably doesnt render several things properly or just waiting... Wii is cheap, and this is worth it.
Oh please reggie the game was enough for me to take my Wii out of storage and it is a good game but greatest game ever lol. I've already went back to Skyrim after 3 hours of gameplay. Skyrim owns this game
Yeah, but there's the fine line between confidently boasting your own game and making ridicolous statement that makes your company look unserious. Reggie needs to calm down. He could have even said it's the best game ever, but he had to make it all into some rambling mad prophecy. What are you gonna say when they make the next Zelda game anyway?
I might have agreed had I not been a filthy lefty. Holding the controller in one hand and having Link hold the sword in another is an immersion killer :(
stolen from a random LoZ forum:
"Miyamoto is left-handed.
'link' (spelled differently, but same sound) means 'left' in German.
A left-handed swordfighter is generally more effective then a right-handed one, since most people are not used to fighting left-handed people."
If I had a Nintendo, I'd buy Skyward Sword.
