Interesting! Very good point!

I have not seen any other suggestions besides it being a shield endurance meter. Nobody has any other ideas? I do not. I think it's quite clear that that is what it is. My main question is is this cumulative over the course of many skirmishes, or does it regenerate? I could imagine it both...

And I suppose we should just ignore the tail sticking out of the new Mario 3DS logo that was just unveiled? Because, ya know, it's just a logo... The logo set's the theme for the entire game. I don't think this is super-super-significant. But I do think it is significant. They changed it...

I noticed that the title screen for SS has changed for the new trailer: it is overgrown with vines and moss (maybe just vines) and the triforce and eagle design have changed from gold to an ancient stone material... NEW OLD What does this mean? Not sure if somebody already noticed...

That's a technicality. For all intents and purposes it has been delayed. No, an announced release date has not been pushed back, but they have not met their publicly stated goals for the release. Something has come up that has caused them to push back their time-frame...

Yeah, I mean, they have been working on the game for YEARS...how could it be just over 50%?? I think that there is some sort of issue they are working through, something they are not happy with...

To be fair, the bugs at E3 were due to technical difficulties with the presentation...it worked just fine when people got to play the demos, but there was too much interference or something on stage when Miyamoto was playing it during the presentation. Everyone who played it later said the...

Huh? Of course Nintendo is going to say the game is coming along like gangbusters...they are not going to say "eh, it's just OK really". Nintendo saying it is coming along well is meaningless. You have to judge by the facts, not their marketing and spin. The facts are that we have not seen...

Early this year it was generally believed that it would come out in 2010...it was generally hinted to be such by Nintendo, and Iwata said "Skyward Sword will be out in 2010". It was revealed at E3 that they would not be able to do this...they stated it as a delay as they had already set the...

Hopefully I am wrong. I think that it will ultimately be a fine game, but I feel like what is happening is similar to Metroid: Other M, which ended up being disappointing...you have a game with a very experimental control scheme that gets pushed back...I don't know, it just worries me. I think...

I expect that they will formally announce a delay: I predict it will be released in August. Early enough to be called a summer game; late enough that it will still be newish for Christmas 2011. My fear: the delay is coming because the game is not progressing well. There are problems with it...

This is really what I'm asking... Yes, again, this is what I mean: will it sell Wiis to the people who have shunned the Wii in favor of the HD consoles? Will the "hard core" Assassin's Creed, CoD, GoW crowd pick it up? The consensus seems to be: no. I disagree. At least, I would not be so...

OK, fair enough, because "Hard Core Gamer" is not a strictly defined term...but I think most people have the same thing in mind: people who tend to gravitate toward games with "mature" content, including highly realistic content (CoD, or realistic sports games) and/or highly graphic content (God...

The Wii has had a lot of trouble with the so-called "hard core gamers"...the XBox 360, PS3 owning crowd who obsess over Call of Duty, who adore Red Dead, who drool over Uncharted, etc., etc....will Zelda SS appeal to them? I know it will be a great game, but will it be universally great...

No! This is what we had in mind for motion gaming all along...this will be the first great motion gaming adventure game. And Zelda is a natural fit...this is going to be good, Just Wait.
