Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Does anyone know if you can still just use the button though?
Or is waggle the only option for standard attacks.

The bow targeting was great. You won't have any problems with it after a short time with the wiimote. Certainly it's much better than moving a target with an analogue stick.Annoying Old Party Man said:
The wiimote really will work as a mouse in space. The best example was the virtual keyboard in rayman raving rabbids, I had no problem picking out my handle, and that was the first thing I did with the wiimote. After a day it should be very seamless.
I didn't bother fishing. Others seemed to really enjoy it though.
SuperPac said:
Actually I would say using a keyboard or a mouse is twice as stressful than playing Wii. If you sit there for 3 hours twirling a pen or playing with an item like say during class or something, you dont notice any discomfort apart from your backside.
Mainly cos its normal, natural movement, I bet playing with Wii could even be more comfortable than normal pads which have your hands cramped over the thing for hours in the same position.

I'm fairly sure it changed per booting. Weather would change throughout the demo, and I have no doubt he of all people played it through multiple times and watched his mates, so he would have seen a bunch of different seasons too.

I meant that theyll be really essential for the game, enhancing the experience

Hey why does the first page of the thread still say "● Component cables included with Wii out of the box in the US"?
I thought this was confirmed not true?

that is why nintendo needs to clearify things. i really hope wii sports is online. it would be great.
Seeing their early lineup, it's hard to think of a better killer app to launch their online service than Wii Sports.Avutta1978 said:
Why wouldn't they have announced it though? Because they're late with their online implementation? To generate more buzz announcing it closer to the launch?

I'm going to play Zelda TP so slow Mario Galaxy will be out by the time I reach the end...
unless the game is so kick ass and epic that I can't put it down

You know, until reading TSA's impressions, I hadn't even thought about camera control.
I will certainly miss using the GC pad's C-stick.
I still think Amirox is making a big stink out of nothing, but I'm a little more sceptical now.

Indeed, going back to MM and OoT can be painful because of the lack of camera control. It made the sailing in WW tolerable. Lets hope it was just a temporary withdrawl and that it'll be cack fro the final version.

The sword controls sound kinda meh for Wii. This isn't good. I thought Nintendo EAD was king of controls? Guess I'll have to hold on to my dollar bills until the reviews start pouring in and tell me which version is better. If they are about the same, my preference will go to the wand waggle wiggling. In the meantime, I should enjoy Wii Sports. It seems like some good, clean fun.

Hmm I don't know if they will charge for it. There are a few places on the net that let you send SMS for free, at least a few per day, so who knows. A lot of people are addicted to SMS messaging, this is not anedoctal evidence; providing them would be in line with Wii philosophy of appealing to casuals.
One thing I don't know is how would the adressee respond to your message -- if they could figure that out, Nintendo would have hordes of teenagers (mostly girls) on the Wii, like bees on honey. Basically a license to print money.
This GC vs Wii Zelda thing - you guys would really prefer to just mash a button?
I thought they screwed it up at E3 where you had to press a button to attack, especially on the wiimote which isnt built for comfortable button mashing for extended periods (cos its one handed). I'm so relieved they changed it, have no worries it will be superior to the GC version at all.
Camera control might be an issue I guess, if not in Zelda then certainly in other games.

Well, according to gamespy in this Marvel Ultimate Alliance preview, the camera controls can be fantastic on wii when done correctly:kaizoku said:
"By tilting the Nunchuk, players will have full control of the camera. No, it's not the first thing that most people will think about when they wonder about MUA on Wii, but it's a crucial gameplay element that many people take for granted. With a turn left or right, players can shift the focus around the map with the same ease that they will be able to do on any other version of the multi-SKU MUA. Without something so innovative, one shudders to think of how the game would have turned out. Also, upon playing it, not only does it feel rather smooth and natural, but it probably will set the standard for camera control on Wii for a long time. Other innovations will undoubtedly come, but odds are that this will be the standard for any third-person action games on the new system. Believe."

after playing Zelda Wii for an hour.
marc^o^ said:
uh oh - this is the kind of gameplay feature I think is very misleading when it comes to motion sensing gameplay - sounds great and innovative, but in practice might backfire. Like...what happens when you want to scratch your nose? the camera goes nuts? and during gameplay if you want the camera to stay still, you have to keep your arms and hands still?
Then again it probably works well for MUA - the problem will be for things like 3D platformers where view and camera control is essential. How does this work in Mario Galaxy btw? hmm maybe thats part of the idea behind basing the game on small planets.

I do wish more had a chance to try the Zelda controls. Initial reactions will vary largely, and it isn't a matter of the game being hard to play, it's just that it's silly to move the game to a different control scheme towards the end of production. Aiming with the wiimote is superior, but yes, waggle for attacks is less than what anyone would want. Glorified mashing really, but again, not painful. I think when display kiosks pop up, this forum's opinion will shift at least slightly.
Not good for speed runs though.
In other news: that 1up show was painful as hell, they really shouldn't let huge beard dude dominate the conversation so. Having played a number of launch titles, I feel comfortable saying this is a very strong launch lineup compared to other systems. Launches almost always suck, and it's much smarter for Nintendo to space their triple As over the next couple of months while 3rd parties get their acts together. The problem of not having time to play all the quality buy-worthy games (not just this launch, ps2's excellent last breaths + gears of war etc) is of much greater concern than the lack of wii titles (there isn't really) this season.

Overall? Yes. It's a much better put together package... and I am personally more a fan of SRPGs...
You can't really compare the two directly, one is an SRPG and the other a traditional RPG with card deck tactics...
