    Why Does Nintendo Hide Common Game Elements As "secrets"?

    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...

    Are There Problems on Dolphin?

    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...

    Just Noticed How Brilliantly This Game is Catered Towards Casuals.

    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...

    Reasons This Game is Not a 10/10

    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...

    Spoiler I'm Worried About the Final Dungeon.

    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...

    Spoiler Japanese Website Updated with New Area. Officially CONFUSED.

    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...

    Theory on How the Three Regions Are Revisited

    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...

    Skyward Sword Tonight on Jimmy Fallon

    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

    Spoiler OH, Wow. Basically Confirmed There Are Only 8 B Button Items.

    Sure, we've got the Harp and Mogma Mitts that are activated through other means but those are barely useful. So, all told there are 10 items in this game and each one has a purpose. Does this please anyone else who hates how many items in Zelda have been useless ever since OoT? Gives room for...

    OMG, What if Hard Mode...

    ..is non-linear? I have no basis for this other than what EDGE implied in their 10/10 review. They said upgrades will be useful in the post-game. What if this means story cutscenes are mostly gone outside of the essential ones and you can access ANY area with all the upgrades that you've kept...

    Spoiler More Dungeon Names and Other Story Stuff

    DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED ON NAMES AND LOCATIONS AND EVENTS, GOOD LORD USE YOUR HEAD ok, so some text dumps from the demo Temple of Time, Temple of Hylia, Sky Keep are all dungeons Groose actually helps out in battles against The Imprisoned, and protects the...

    Spoiler Demo/Magazine Hints Further at Second Quest?

    Text dump inside the demo says You have conquered Hero Mode ÿ! Congratulations! Do you want to create a save just before the final battle? ÿSave Don't save Are you sure you want to return to the title screen without saving? ÿDon't save Save You can play again in Hero Mode...

    Cool Stuff from Rich George and Phil Kollar.

    So, I tweeted Rich a few times and got some neat replies. @RichIGN We may know 50% of the LOCATIONS, but are we still mostly virgin since they've not shown many PUZZLES past the first dungeon? @superdrive08 I think that's a fair way to see it, yeah. Well, if you think of locations... you've...

    Why is Everyone Forgetting There Are Five Other Villains?

    Ghirahim this, Imprisoned that. While they will most likely be the most integral to the story, there are still 5 other henchmen that The Imprisoned has to use as he sees fit. We've just not seen them yet.

    Spoiler Wait.. So *DOES* Ghirahim Get What He Wants?

    I know Zelda Informer wrote an article about this once before, but the picture they provided of this particular scene didn't show off very well what they were trying to highlight in the background. First of all, see how the turrets and stuff look so similar to Skyloft's walls? But most...

    I Chose the WORST November to Try Out NaNoWriMo.

    Seriously, I've wanted to try writing a 50,000+ novel for quite a while.... and at the same time, this gaming season is looking absolutely wonderful with Skyrim, SM3DL, and Skyward Sword. Will I be able to make it? x_X Has anyone here done it before? How long does it take to write 1667 words...

    Spoiler Theory: Each Province Has Its Own Overarching Gimmick.

    This is QUITE wild speculation, but bear with me here We've seen the rainbow scattering around in the desert We've seen the Silent Realm in the forest However, so far we've seen these things ONLY in those areas. What if the Silent Realm is only a forest thing? What if the rainbow is only...

    Super Mario 3D Land Has Me Excited for This Game's Second Quest.

    *minor spoilers for SM3DL* http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/impressions/28228 Basically, SM3DL has a hard mode after you finish the game. There are eight more worlds. They're not all entirely brand new, but largely altered versions of the levels you've already played. For example, A good...

    How is the World As Large As They're Claiming?

    We've seen 66% of the world map and we already know what the rest will be: the desert. Don't get me wrong, I have no complaints about a short, fine-crafted game, but... they've claimed this WON'T be too short. From what we can tell, there's three main dungeons and three mini-dungeons and that's...

    We Should Be Getting That Skyward Sword Review in Less Than 24 Hours

    I mean, right? ONM is supposed to go out on October 20 so.. ok I mean, maybe not exactly less than 24 hours, but it should be pretty soon. Day or two. :)

    Question to Anyone Who's Played the Demo

    Does the item selection border on the cumbersome or no? For example, from what I understand you tap the B button to bring up the menu and then hold it to use the item, or vice versa. Either way, sounds a bit clunky. Could result in a lot of accidents maybe. =/

    Spoiler Anyone else Worried About Returning to Dungeons?

    From a recent batch of screens, we've seen areas of Skyview Temple with new enemies. One screen shows three Stalfos Knights inside the room in which we fought Ghirahim. Another screen shows some Bokobolins across a gap, the same one where we see the boss door. I'm not seeing how this could be...

    Agree/Disagree: Zelda and Dragon Quest Have Fairly Similar Appeal.

    1. Cute and identifiable enemy designs. 2. Story arcs that typically include a small town boy stumbling upon a far greater quest. 3. Koji Kondo and Koichi Sugiyama seem to use some of the same techniques for composing music. 4. Dependability and consistency. In other words, you don't...

    So, Hidemaro Fujibayashi is the Director of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidemaro_Fujibayashi I'm a bit iffy on the differences between "director" and "producer" in the world of video games. However, this guy contributed to the two Oracle games, Minish Cap, and Phantom Hourglass. Three outta four games being stellar? Not a bad track...

    Have We Seen Any Mini-maps?

    From what I can tell, you can only access a map through using the + button. I've not seen any footage on the HUD that displays a mini-map. And I'm not sure about the rest of you, but personally... I enjoy this. Even in Twilight Princess if you decide to neglect using a mini-map, you've still got...
