But I have bigger concerns with the implications of your points than what system this game will appear on. If this game was created to show the capabilities of Motion Plus and 1:1 motion, where will that leave the actual game play and the level of enjoyability? I can definitely appreciate the engineering that goes into the technology that is being used in the game, but if it's not fun to play then there's no point in trying to sell it to consumers. There should be a balance between the innovative engineering of the game and creative storyline being used. That was one of the problems that I had with TP. It had a beautiful feel to but it lacked story. Consumers want backwards compatibility more than the Companies do. This has to do with money mostly because it takes more money to make a product that can do it when they could just resell the game to the consumer in a new medium (ie. digital market, new platform disc.) Therefore I wouldn't be surprised if Project Cafe has Wii compatibility but not GCN. I wouldn't be surprised if when SS gains a players choice status, it comes out on Project cafe. The fact that Nintendo's bigger studios have been quiet for years slightly disturbs me for two reasons.The first being that I don't think that the whole reason behind their quietness is because of Project Cafe, it might have to do with internal issues that have not been made public. Sometimes studios "break up" or have core members leave and the public doesn't hear about it until a new game comes out. I hope it's not that since those studios have been very successful in the past, but I think it would be nice to see one of the studios make a bold new move with a new interesting game that might not be for everyone to play. My second issue is that they might be outsourcing their large franchises to other studios and are not getting the same quality that consumers expect. Personally, I enjoyed what retro studios did with Metroid Prime- it was beautiful, challenging, and was everything I expected in a video game. But when I saw what Ninja was doing with Other M I was not impressed because it didn't look like a new platform game, it just looked like the graphics were improved and some new tricks were added. Yes, SS will be a Wii game, but there are bigger things to look at here Thu, 26 May 2011 21:10:20 +0000 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/skyward-sword-possibly-a-launch-title-for-project-cafe/#IDComment156483247 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/skyward-sword-possibly-a-launch-title-for-project-cafe/#IDComment156468122 TP failed because they scraped the original project and basically remade OoT. While the game was visually appealing it was a disappointment from the original trailer that was released Thu, 26 May 2011 20:25:20 +0000 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/skyward-sword-possibly-a-launch-title-for-project-cafe/#IDComment156468122 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/skyward-sword-controls-posters/#IDComment81034125 i think the 1:1 controls are whats really going to sell it for me Sun, 20 Jun 2010 05:25:40 +0000 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/skyward-sword-controls-posters/#IDComment81034125 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/skyward-swords-story-revealed/#IDComment80423639 this might be where the Master Sword is given to the royal family and Hyrule Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:54:40 +0000 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/skyward-swords-story-revealed/#IDComment80423639 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/mature-zelda-no-thanks-g4/#IDComment79501594 Glaciesflamma makes a good point with that. i think that the Zelda team has been trying to make it more mature in the sense of puzzles, characters and depth but i think a lot of what Zelda is known for is being bold with its ideas. look at LoZ- this game created a lot of what has become the foundation for modern RPGs and video games in general, and in its time it was radical for what it was able to do(the ability to save without codes?). then look at ALttP- better colors, more details, DIAGONAL MOVEMENT! these were big things on SNES. OoT basically defined 3D gaming. i think it would be very bold to make the next Zelda much grimier and darker than TP and more rough and tumble. but i trust that the Zelda team will make the right judgments as to what and how much .

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 03:20:29 +0000 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/leaked-zelda-wii-info-real-of-fake/#IDComment53113662 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/leaked-zelda-wii-info-real-of-fake/#IDComment53113244 in my opinion this is mostly true: -left/right hand is probably true, giving the player more personalization over Link. -Nintendo probably does have the basic mechanics done. -not adding the Master Sword to the game would be a risky move, but it would either be a prequel or a direct sequel to OoT or TP. But it's probably false, along with the name of the girl in the picture. For the girl not being the master sword, its probably true- a talking sword would be either really dumb or show how weak Nintendo is getting. -the different sword upgrades is probably true. this has been a theme in quite a few of their games, Alttp, MM and TP(in a sense) for examples. it would be interesting to see if they could add in more than just sword and shield like dual swords, hammer and sword, or spear-like weapon. -more evolved horseback combat and intelligence is probably true, and will be a huge disappointment if its not. -probably all of the character models have been upgraded and had touches added to them, but for the most part the models from TP were amazing in my opinion. -Hero of Time is a title, so its possible that he could be called that through out the game because of reputation if its a sequel. if its a prequel, then this could turn into a remake of Alttp or another OoT remake. So this could go either way, but more than likely its false. -time traveling is probably false. other than in OoT and Alttp, the other time traveling games have been too impressive to me. and Nintendo can probably come up with something more creative than that. -being staged in somewhere other than Hyrule is probably true. quite a few of the Zelda games have been in places other than Hyrule. it would be interesting to have Link travel between Hyrule and another land, possibly Gerudo Desert where Ganon was from if its a sequel. the change in the game formula, which has been confirmed, will be very interesting to see how they change it.

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 04:23:34 +0000 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/miyamoto-states-that-new-zelda-wii-will-not-be-radically-different/#IDComment27649420 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/miyamoto-states-that-new-zelda-wii-will-not-be-radically-different/#IDComment26576165 ok after reading the article "Long Live The Triforce... Or Not" (http://www.zeldainformer.com/2009/07/long-live-th... this idea came to me. what if the next one is set ahead of OoT and TP. because of Link saving Hyrule from evil, the king arranges a marriage between Link and Zelda, making Link king. then like 40 years after the marriage and what not, Ganon and other great evil figures in the history of hyrule raise an army and invades Hyrule and Link sends out his eldest son to fight him. fighting through the other figures (dungeons) he gets to ganon but after destroying/killing ganon some evil demi-god is revealed and was using ganon as a puppet. and to fight the god the son has to get some pre-goddess weapon (preferably other than sword and bow, maybe and axe or epic hammer?) and destroy the tri-force to access the dark realm, twilight, or where ever the bad guys go to fight this god or does this sound to corny?
