Kinda feel like I have lost complete interest towards this game in the last week. I think like I have heard about this game for so long and I am not feeling it anymore. Probably change my mind once is out.

Eiji Aonuma in an interview with Nintendo Power reveals Ganondorf/Ganon will not have any role in the game nor any potential references to make it seem like he could pop up as a surprise boss at the end of the game (ex. Four Swords on the Gamecube).
Quote:
Also revealed was the design behind the new villain was meant to be an anti-Ganon in terms of appearance and fighting style. Quote:
And the final big announcement is Skyward Sword will replace Ocarina of Time as the start of the Zelda storyline but it wasn't revealed if the game will be the absolute first or if a new game will replace it in the future. http://screwattack.com/blogs/ScrewAt...Ganondorf-free |

Nintendo announces Skyward Swords will join the small list of Nintendo-made games to get its own collector's edition.
For $69.99, the collector's edition will include the game, a soundtrack CD containing music from the past 25 years of the series, and a golden Wiimote with built-in motion plus. For those who want just the game at $49.99, Nintendo announces only the 1st run or shipment of the game will come with the soundtrack for free as a bonus. ![]() http://screwattack.com/blogs/ScrewAt...-golden-bundle |

Nintendo released a lot more screens, trailers, and info mostly relating to the first 2 hours of the game.
Nintendo managed to tie in the 25th anniversary of the series into the story because the town of Skyloft is in the middle of celebrating a town tradition that started 25 years ago. Also confirmed is a tutorial mode for the game occurs for most of the first hour of the game. Quote:

A bunch of new screens and info was revealed by Nintendo.
The whip from Spirit Tracks and the bug net from Link to the Past return but each have mutli-use purposes to go along with the theme of every weapon having more than one use possible. Also shown off was a few more tribes/races in Skyward Sword and potion making has a lot more combos and types available in previous games. http://www.screwattack.com/news/scre...k-getting-whip |

Edge: 10/10
"A triumph." "How apt that this ultimate tale of hero-making should see Nintendo’s hardware become the console it was always meant to be." Official Nintendo Magazine gave it 98%, the highest for any Wii game and called it the best Zelda ever. I usually ignore "official" magazine reviews, but calling it the best Zelda ever is strong stuff. |

Good to hear. I'm hoping I get my copy. Cancelled my pre order and getting the LE from Nintendo to make up for not getting my concert tickets in time. Nintendo are great at making games but they suck at customer service so I'm not sure if it'll even turn up.
Looking forward to give the game a go. I just hope no one posts spoilers without warning. |

These are the scores so far. Online review embargo is up on 11/11
EDGE - 10/10 Game Informer - 10/10 ONM - 98% 4News.it - 97/100 Gamepro Germany - 93% GamesTM - 9/10 - "Playing the Wii out in style" Wasn't pumped after the last 2 E3's, but since the pre-TGS conference it's been building. Can't wait now, even if I do get Saint's Row 3 and Arkham City on the same day. Also noted from some people saying that pointing is pure motion based, it doesn't use the sensor for those tasks at all. |

A few places like Screwattack and I think Giant Bomb have said the story feels a bit darker like Majora's Mask than a normal Zelda game mainly due to the supposed main villain always talking about wanting to murder people than just find a treasure or gain power.

Just been messing with a demo that was leaked. Not played too much to not spoil it, but mechanically, it's right as hell.
Lost the pointer once, that will need some getting used to, but it's exactly what I imagined the Wii version of Twilight Princess would be like. No waggle. |

Nintendo and Penny Arcade collaborated on an official Skyward Sword comic series for the official Zelda website. The first piece in a 5-part series was released yesterday.

Skyward Sword became the fastest selling Zelda game in the series history with about 535,000 copies sold just in the US alone since last week.
The record before was Twilight Princess which had the benefit of being a launch title for the Wii and also had a Gamecube version released at the same time. http://wii.ign.com/articles/121/1213446p1.html |

I've been playing this. It's pretty fun, but the sword controls are a bit maddening.

Yeah the sword controls are not great for combat.
When you have to do a specific swing, it sometimes reads it as another type of swing. This mostly happens during combat. Trying to move your sword to ready a specific swing is sometimes read as you trying to pull off another swing. It doesn't really help when you're surround by 5 enemies and can't afford to mess up. My only other problem is the lack of control we have over the camera. To look anywhere we have to turn around and hit Z. No control of the camera and no minimap to compensate, isn't a good thing. Fighting bats, the game doesn't like to look at them when you lock on so it's hard to know when they are fluttering about and when they are going to dive bomb you until the last second. Other than those two issues, I'm really liking the game. |

Im kinda pissed that I gotta spend at least $100 to play this since I don't have the fucking motionplus shit which no other game I have will use. Really ticked off because I saw TRU had the Red Steel 2 that came with the motionplus on clearance a couple weeks ago for like $10 which would have at least saved me $20, now its either buy the new remote for $30, buy the WiiMotionplus game bundle for $50. The gold wiimote bundles are pretty much sold out.

Game breaking glitch was discovered and it only occurs if the third dungeon area is the first area explored and the player learns the Thunder Dragon song before the other songs are attained.
SPOILER: show As of now Nintendo is suggesting as a quick solution to not to visit Golo before having the first two songs learned in the game. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ard-sword-bug/ |

I don't think any Wii game has ever had a patch..so the answer is probably..no.

Would have to wait for the next system update to see if Nintendo adds in a patch like they've done for a few games although that wouldn't arrive until early next year (or in the 2nd run production of the game).
I think only Black Ops has patches although that was done from Activision's network and not Nintendo's own servers. |
