Greetings fellow nerds! I decided to voice my thoughts of the upcoming Zelda title: "Skyward Sword". Now, I know this isn't a review, but I absolutely <3 the Zelda series and I felt like doing an article about one! So THERE!
Now, I've been waiting for a new Wii Zelda title for a while; the last one was Twilight Princess, and I was absolutely impressed with that title. It left me quite happy with the way it was made, even if the wolf gameplay felt tedious. But that's not what I'm going to talk about today. Now, from what I gathered about the new game, it seems like it has potential; they even have the cool adult Link from Twilight Princess! But, what I'm not really a fan of, is cell-shading. And wouldn't you know it! They made another cell-shaded Zelda title. >=( Now, just because it's cell shaded, doesn't mean it won't be good. Windwaker sure wasn't my favourite Zelda title; in fact, it may be one of my least. But I still had fun playing it (despite the long, tedious job of finding all the Triforce pieces in the sea...ugh). Now, I have a hope that it will be good too. Although my excitement has waned from when I first heard they were making a new Zelda title. Especially with the teaser picture they released; it looked like the same style as Twilight Princess! But, like I said, it has potential.
"Enough with the graphics already!" I'm sure you're saying; well, alright! Calm down! Let's get to the gameplay! The game is going to follow the movements of your Wii remote, using the new Nintendo product the Wii Motionplus. This is said to take the precision and accuracy of the Wii remote to whole new level. But really, Nintendo, isn't this something that should have been done from the start? I mean, isn't your console BASED on following movements? And you're only NOW making it precise?
This though is new; Link will swing his sword the same way and direction that you do. This could be good, and it could be bad. Good because it could offer a whole lot of fun for people, to feel like they're actually fighting off those nasty goblins and skelefos and Skulltulas. But some people may like the traditional style better. I, for one, preferred to play Twilight Princess on the Gamecube, because it felt more...comfortable, shall we say?...than having to swing the Wii remote. But, of course this is all just speculation. It may completely blow everyone's mind away! All we can do is wait! And wait we shall. I never thought I'd say this, but "holiday season! Hurry up and get here!"
If you're interested in taking a look at the trailer because you have yet to see it, or maybe you love it and want to watch it again, you can do so at Machinima's channel here. May the Force be with you!
