Nintendo has been casual ever since the NES days.

Wouldn't it be more pleasing to fans if they knew ahead of time they're getting more value in what they buy >_>

I don't understand this, really. Most games have an easy/normal/hard mode by default. But Nintendo doesn't advertise they have a hard mode in any of their games, instead it's some unlockable "secret." They're ... making themselves less desirable by pretending they don't have something that is...

I'm gonna buy the game tomorrow to play through it a second time, this time IN GLORIOUS HIGH DEFINITION. The problem is I've heard there are some issues with Dolphin. To anyone who has played this game on Dolphin, have you experienced any of these issues? 1. Painterly depth of field blur does...

I'm not skipping dialogue. I want the ability to speed it up. The scrolling speed is so slow and there is no way to make it go faster. I've read the words before the next words are up, so it's like I'm listening to some third grader who doesn't know how to read. "the... dog... is.. r.. e.. d.."

I'm not lazy. I love to read. But a game in 2011 should really, really have voice acting.

Nintendo has always impressed me with how their games have easy controls, dating back to Mario on the NES. The reason that series is so popular is because it's easy AND fun. Nintendo has never been a "hardcore" developer at heart, so the idea that they're only now becoming casual kinda makes me...

While the nitpicks do still annoy me (including no voice acting) I am quite impressed that the game has made me cry once despite being only text. That is very hard for a video game to do. Books? Sure, because words are all books have. But video games that are attempting to be cinematic MUST have...

How are these things nitpicks if they are all annoying and need to be fixed and addressed? At what point is something a "real" flaw instead of a "nitpick"?

I'm sure someone else has already posted this, but if they haven't it needs to be seen by all of you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNHMnLs20bM

Why is "a Zelda thing" an acceptable excuse? Like, just accepting the series' flaws as "quirks" that are part of the series, what?

Man, it is astounding how fanboys will defend something they've not even played. I'm not even saying the game is BAD, this is the best Zelda game ever made, and yet it is still not a 10/10. It's gonna be amusing if when the game is released you guys end up having some of the same complaints, but...

.. what. Lord, your reading comprehension is.. well, non-existent. 1. I am saying it is terrible that we start with six hearts when we die. This happened with older games, too. When we got a game over, we'd start back with 3 hearts instead of full health, for no good reason. There is no real...

There is a difference between Sheikah Stones and Gossip Stones. Also it's weird how many people are forgiving starting with 6 hearts for no good reason. It's never made sense. Another flaw I've found in the Tentalus battle: the skyward strike is annoying to activate, you really have to hold...

There are a few cutscenes that can be skipped with 2, but bizarrely they are short ones and not usually the boss encounter ones. Also, the idea of calling me biased is hilarious because it works the other way, as well.

...you seem to be misunderstanding me. I want full health, but I don't see the need in waiting for it.

How do unskippable cutscenes not bother you? If you're dying to a boss more than once or twice, you need to watch that cutscene again.. and again.. and again. It adds up to annoyance.

1. Unskippable cutscenes 2. Dialogue that cannot be skipped through 3. Only one Sheikah Stone in the entire game, sucks if you're stuck on a puzzle and need to go all the way back to Skyloft 4. Motion controls need to be very precise, wonderful when they work but there have been quite a few...

When you die, you respawn at the last save statue you used.. however, all puzzles that you already completed/enemies you killed will remain that way.

Again, I hate these double standards that a new game is criticized for an easy boss, but OoT, MM, and WW are excused for an easy boss because they're "established classics" by now.

...are you seriously comparing the difficulty of SS to a Mario Party game >____>

Again, what is wrong with a game being a "breeeze" or "easy" if you're having fun?? Why are you even playing games if not to enjoy yourself... I get that challenging game are fun but not ALL of them need to be super hard.

]Those are Tentalus's .... tentacles. Look here, there are a few different screens of him. His tentacles are shown and looks basically the same. http://www.zeldadungeon.net/Zelda14-skyward-sword-bosses.php#Tentalus

...what? what is white-blue, exactly? the thing in the sky - bioclyte, the thing in the priate ship- tentalus

Tentalus... terrible name, I know

Some people are pirating it. I'm up to Ancient Cistern at the moment. I can't speak for the intentions of others, but I know that I'M gonna buy the game once it is released. I'm just impatient and decided, if it's available and I'm gonna pay for it anyhow, then why not go ahead and play it?

It's not geared toward casuals... and furthermore, if we're gonna go down that route, Nintendo has been aiming for the casual market ever since Super Mario Bros.

I hate when gamers equate difficulty to a game being good. Portal 2 and Super Mario 3D Land are two other games just from this year that are not hard but have such interesting level design that it draws you in. Skyward Sword may not be as hard as Demon's Souls or something, but it allows you to...

This was kinda fun to play, but not as epic as it could have been. I'm up to Ancient Cistern and have only fought him once.. hoping there is another fight with him while he's in this form and that it's a bit more interesting. omg i did not know you could slash his forehead while he's on the...

I am going to hope/assume that you play games that are not made by Nintendo. I will also assume those games have voice acting. Do you feel those games are "less immersive" because you can hear what they're saying?

...I'm assuming you've never played a game with voice acting, then, if you're going to pretend there is never a long speech in a game

...how does that mean they would have to shorten the dialogue

what is with this ridiculous idea zelda is exempt from voice acting while all other series require it? while zelda is no worse without it, it WOULD be exponentially better if it DID have it. this scene is a great example. tons more impact if you could hear ghirahim yelling and zelda being all...

Why is this forgiven for OoT, WW, TP, etc, but somehow it's far worse when a new game is released, untainted by nostalgia? Face it, Zelda has always had "easy" bosses and you are using a double standard.

This is one of those amusing examples where nostalgia blinds you, because I'm just gonna ASSUME you're an OoT fanboy and as such believe Ganon is any harder... hint: he is not

Granted, perhaps I have no reason to be, but this has happened in practically every 3D Zelda to date: the final dungeon is this series of self-contained final exams. I love the idea of a final exam in a game, that's cool, but can't they be... more closely integrated? Instead of separating the...

No need to frustrate players and waste their time over a small detail that isn't even a puzzle.

We don't have every detail. We don't have close to every detail. We've not seen very many of the game's puzzles or cutscenes.

How is it a stupid business move to give you details about the product you're gonna buy? Are you honestly telling me you wanna spend $50 blindly?

Why should they care if I will have given them the exact same amount of money that I would have to start?

I've no reason to read spoilers because I will be playing the game today :D yes I'm pirating but I'm buying on the 20th so who cares

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/souj/world/Thunderhead/index.html This is the area where we fight that flying black whale. The strange thing is how the screenshots seem to imply this is an actual area to explore. Perhaps not as large as Faron Woods etc, but it's got substance to it. This has...

lol god this is why i hate gamers... you think a number is more important than words. the REVIEW ITSELF is far more important than some arbitrary number...

No... it's 3 a.m. EST, and 12 a.m. PST. sorry, its still like 3 hours away

Oh, and obviously if the harp works in that way, then it would also allow you to re-flood the area in case you missed anything up above, as well Also, what if the Skyview/Earth/Lanayru Mining dungeons have more than meets the eye? Like, something behind a door that makes them even larger...

OK, we know on return visits that we can travel up higher in Faron Woods due to flooding and that you can travel through time in a lot of areas of Lanayru Desert. So where does that leave Eldin Volcano? I'm thinking since Faron is UP and Lanayru is THROUGH, that Eldin will be DOWN. Makes sense...

The games are stories told by unreliable narrators who wish for their cultures to be a part of fabled history and put their own cultures' spin on things, their values. I see no other explanation how something wildly different as Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks, Minish Cap, Majora's Mask, and LttP can...

I laugh so much at people who think the reincarnation theory is true or that the timeline is true or blah blah It's a literal LEGEND

The timeline isn't important, so I don't care. :)

No clue what's happening, but what I'm hoping is they let him fight the four-armed Stalfos... rematch of last time, so to speak. Let's see him waggle his way through THAT one. :o
