Official Nintendo of Europe Skyward Sword Press Release
Posted on September 02 2011 by Mases Hagopian
Shown below is the press release from Nintendo of Europe for the Skyward Sword bundle. There isn’t anything new, but we get confirmation that fans in Europe have to pre-order the bundle in order to get the goodies. The limited edition orchestrated CD will be available in limited quantities, so certainly you should pre-order if you want to get that as well as the gold Wii Remote Plus. Skyward Sword hits shelves on November 18th in Europe.
Games in The Legend of Zelda series invite players to explore vast environments, solve puzzles and battle enemies in a fantasy world. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword continues this tradition, but transforms the experience by using the Wii Remote Plus controller to offer even more precise control.
A special limited edition bundle is available to fans who pre-order their software and features a copy of the game, a CD featuring selected orchestral arrangements of iconic music spanning the history of the franchise that will be performed as a part of the The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony performance, and a rare gold-coloured Wii Remote Plus controller bearing the Hylian Crest.Fans who purchase the game early at launch will receive a copy of the game and a copy of the music CD available in the limited edition bundle. You’ll need to be quick off the mark, as this game and CD ‘special edition’ is only available while stocks last.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will let players guide Link on a multi-layered journey blending intense ground-based adventures with breathtaking exploration above the clouds as Link glides through the skies on the back of a majestic bird. For the first time in a Zelda game you can use Wii MotionPlus technology to precisely control flight and experience a distinctly unique combat system as you analyse enemy attack and defence moves, counteracting each assault with precise and intuitive movements of the sword. Fans who pre-order the limited edition bundle will be able to get their hands on the exclusive gold-coloured Wii Remote Plus included within the bundle and watch it faithfully replicate the angle of every sword slice.
Wield the weapons of a hero with perfect precision and prepare for a new level of strategic swordplay as you embark on a truly epic and all-new Zelda adventure in The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. Pre-order your limited edition bundle from GAME or Amazon before the game is released across Europe on 18th November 2011 and receive your special limited edition golden Wii Remote Plus bearing the Hylian Crest and music CD.
