Just curious, can Link perform that sword sheath trick like in Twilight princess?

Link
doesn't do that trick but does do a cool trick everytime he seals the Imprisoned. It's different and involves him pointing his sword down like a boss.

Hey TSA just a question but did you get the
Hylian Shield
on your first playthrough? Cause I didn't and had absolutely no idea where to find it till after I beat the game. Really surprised it isn't necessary to have. Which is fine cause the
Goddess Shield
alone is a balanced, yet useful item near end-game.

Also don't think our discussion is over, I'll be responding tomorrow night!

So uh, is it safe to lurk around here? A lot of people seemed upset about something back there so it's kind of... worrying... to click back :eek:

It can be a spoiler to some people I guess but I don't see it as a serious one. I actually asked Feep a few days ago because I was curious. There's (don't highlight unless you want to know)
7, including final area.

But that's all I know. I don't want to know what they actually are.

Zelda traditionally makes your objective pretty clear. It's unlikely you'd ever enter a dungeon and not have an idea if there's another one coming or not. So I don't see the big deal.

There's a difference between knowing how many more you have to go and going through the journey to discover what the last one is.

You don't know how many dungeons the game has until you complete the game is the point, which is why it's a spoiler.

I tried playing this on Wii after Dolphin and it is just not possible. That being said, I'm currently playing in 1080p on Dolphin and the game is beyond beautiful. I actually put down Skyrim and Halo Anniversary just to play further.

I swear, it's as if it was meant to look like this originally. Seeing the game this way makes me so anxious for the Nintendo HD era get off its ass and get here already.

Just finished up the 4th dungeon. Music in the area outside the dungeon was stunning.

Games boss battles continue to amaze. That was fun.

Kinda makes you wonder if the WiiU will allow you to play original Wii games in HD.

Is there a video (with no spoilers) of how the game looks like on Dolphin?

If someone can suggest a good way to compress fraps video without losing much quality, I can get you some footage of the demo. Any free programs on Windows capable of that?

IGN NVC Podcast Zelda special edition.

Rich says at the beginning that it is a non-spoiler edition because he does not want to spoil the game before it comes out, so it's safe. However, he says if you are a pure blackout person (as in you don't want to know any gameplay details (there is a beetle in the game, Phi is your companion, etc.) or ANYTHING AT ALL, do not listen, though you probably aren't reading this thread if you don't know something.

They also have the guy who did the 1up review too, and the weird curve of scores from Metacritic is mentioned, and they all give their impressions of the game with no spoilers. It was a good listen for me.

Maybe, but Xenoblade is so damn good. I don't think I slept for a few days when I got that game. I was even hoping Zelda would borrow ideas from it. Xenoblade could possibly be my favorite game of this generation, it's in a close running with Valkyria Chronicles and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Can handbrake join clips?

For some reason it's resizing my video to 1920x936? I don't really know what I'm doing here, but I'll try to get the best quality possible for you guys.

Oh jeez the compression looks disgusting.

Okay, here is 1920x1080 video of the SS demo in Dolphin. It's split into four parts (not sure how to combine them in handbrake?). This is at 4x internal res and 8xAA:

Sorry :3

The video seem sort of sluggish, but the game always retains full speed on my PC, even with fraps recording. I'm not sure how to fix that. If anyone can suggest a way to retain the same level of quality and combine these clips, or achieve video without slowdown, I could reupload a better one.

Not exactly HD quality, more HDMI quality though!

Rub it in. As a huge fan of all the Xeno titles (yes even 'saga), Xenoblade was by far one of my most anticipated games this gen. But... eh, the horse died a long time ago and this isn't the thread to continue the beating.

I don't know how Xenoblade fans thought they could do what Starmen.net failed to achieve for years.
