Dat guy in the background got a huge boner or sumthin? Couldn't tell of that little blurriness. Heh heh!

Actually the contrast between the characters and matoor visceral LotR style in Zelda is usually very well done and add to it rather than detract.
I mean look at MM's or TP's arts!
It's really, really good.
And I don't know who provided concept art for Zelda 1 but it's stunning and I wish they went this route next...

I'm not sure I would define the art of MM that way. It's more bleak than OoT, sure, but still very stylized. The one in TP, on the other hand, sort of does, and I must admit I found the character designs for almost all the NPCs jarring and out of place.Mael said:

Chopper said:Sounds like your own opinion to me.
He's already stated his, so that last statement can't possibly be true.
I had no problem shaking to spin in Galaxy. It seemed to make perfect sense.
I'm sure just the difference between your immediate access button press and making the waggle motion, however slight, would instantly make it less efficient. The difference would be tiny, sure, but it's built-in to motion controls, which is why I prefer motion controls when they're doing things explicitly that there would never be a chance to do with traditional controls. I want my controls as instantaneous and reliable as possible.
But for example, like I said the thing that excites me about Skyward Sword is not the motion combat - which, for my money, will probably distract me more than enhance the experience - but the motion puzzles. Anyone who played Zack & Wiki understand the interesting aspects that come from playing around with puzzles in a 3D space, or even if they played one of my Wii favorites Boom Blox.
When you're doing things that cannot be replicated in traditional controls, to me it clicks. I mean the wiimote has built-in design flaws, but it's the way I would want motion controls on the perfect controller whenever that arrives. But when you're just doing silly 'additive' motions that would be quicker with a button and more reliable with a button, it fails to move me. It's not immersive, since the motions almost never accurately represent the real-life actions in question... so it comes down to simple time for me anyway.

I guess I never had that 'old-time reflex', because it just felt superfluous to me. It didn't make it bad or anything, since it worked and it worked well enough that it wasn't worth complaining about. But to me it was excessive, because a button would have been more efficient. The motion just seemed added because they could add it, not because it was fundamentally enhancing the gameplay. That's my take anyway.
And you already know my embarrassing SMG story... I knew about mid-air save. I forgot about using the long jump for the entire game and didn't even realize why I was having trouble in Luigi's Purple Coins until it hit me that I wasn't using the long jump lol.
It happens to the best of us!
MYE said:
I guess I can sorta see what you're saying, although I personally didn't get any reaction. I never feel like there has to be some reason to 'break the chain of button pressing.' Is button pressing suddenly a bad thing, especially if it works more efficiently than the alternative? I'll never understand this sort of thing, but then again I've never been bored with games and have never had a drive to have everything upended because of that boredom. I love button presses.

After all this time I still don't really like the title.
Huh? He just asked about preordering options and said he needs a M+ equipped remote, it doesn't seem the usual "do you really need a M+ for this game?" troll to me.Lord Ghirahim said:
There is a bundle with game + golden remote + OST for $69. AFAIK there are no special preorder options (unless they're going to be announced later on).MutFox said:No answer?
I like the title. I don't like the font used in the logo.shadyspace said:

I haven't ever heard of a "better pre-order" becoming available a month before release. Even if some retailer started offering store-exclusive pre-order bonuses this late, what would be stopping you from canceling your already placed pre-order? People who are foolish enough to pay in advance need not answer.
