"Zelda series keeping motion controls"

Not really.
Not really either.
Zelda > Darksiders
Zelda > any Zelda knock-off
This will be a true statement till the end of time. So let's stop pretending.

Ummm what!? Where did they say they are going to focus more on stating the obvious and repeating stuff that has already been said and showing you the new item collection thing every time you pick something up?
I mean, they were literally the worst parts of that game.
I'm thinking that if there's a stand for the tablet they could use that as another screen to put HUD elements and what not on it. Like...you would be using the wiimote, and nunchuk but have the tablet, with its screen facing you, on a table or something. Make it customizable too like Monster Hunter TriG's second screen.

I'm around the same point, just finished the earth temple. I can definitely see where you're coming from. Game is awesome but the amount of times I have to press down to re-center is kind of annoying.
Flying definitely sucks.
My biggest complaint about Skyward Sword are the controls. For the most part, they work but there have been a few times where I just wish things were tied to the analog stick. Swimming comes to mind immediately.
I also think they need to ditch Z targetting and give us a proper camera control.

Weird, I really enjoy flying in SS. Swimming can be pretty annoying, though.

Well look at it like this, the way SS's sales are going The Legend of Zelda won't be one of Nintendo's biggest franchise for much longer, so everyone's a winner.
Yeah, that sounds awful.

I'm happy with this news.
Swimming is so much fun in this game - Dolphin Link is amazing!!

so stop playing?
The biggest selling point of the Wii U is Nintendo games in HD. The Wii U tablet is nothing more than another hardware add-on and an evolution to the classic controller. I have been saying from the beginning that it's just an evolution of the classic controller. Nintendo will be supporting both. I doubt it will even be the default control method for most games.

Going for the easy way, I see.
I made that most after reading the thread and seeing that it was true. Half of the people here just want all motion controls to die and skipped SS due to them.
Anyway, if motion controls are really as horrible as you guys think they are, the next Zelda will flop and you'll never see them again.

Good, I have thoroughly enjoyed the combat in SS & its not as if they need the controller screen to deal with the menus anymore.
So you want then to ignore 20 years worth of Zelda games? Also why mention OoT, it's just a simpler LttP?
They did it with Smash Bros, though.
Why? If they're keeping motion controls I can't really see another use for the tablet.

That's a whole lot of money to invest in something that's not going to be the main controller :/
Not that I agree with what he said but too often on this board we find people trolling games that it's clear that they either never played or played for a few minutes at a friend's house based on their complaints. That's not limited to Wii threads.
Essentially complaints that a control method is "broken" is kind of hard to take seriously when 99% of the people using that control method aren't experiencing the same issues.

I bet it will
Maybe they'll include two control styles?
As much as I love Okami, I disagree with that as well. It's scenario and art design is unique, I appreciated the humor and loved the soundtrack, but I can't say it's better than TP. Okami's last half dragged on more than either TWW or TP.
Darksiders is a terrible zelda game, so they decided to make Darksiders 2 a diablo game, so yes, you will be back.
Not really.

I play sitting down. And I get frustrated by the motion sword controls when the stupid ass bobokoblins keep changing their guard, and I try to move my sword to the other side but its read as a swipe so I get hit.. So I end up swiping furiously and sometime bump my leg. Not that odd.
I wouldn't want an expensive tablet controller to be anywhere near a thrashing wiimote. And how are you even holding both of them? Tablet in left hand? Stylus in your mouth? If they use the tablet as a replacement wiimote I'd laugh.
Awesome. The only thing that needs to be improved from SS is the bomb rolling. I'll be interested to see what they do with the tablet if the Wii Remote Plus stays as the main controller for Zelda. Return of the Tingle Tuner?
People can't handle the flying in SS? Or the sword controls? They are child's play.

Wii U, Wiimote Plus and Nunchuck are going to be included in the retail package.
Multiplayer in Mario Kart, NSMBs Wii U, etc... will be with 4 Wiimotes.

Sigh.
Bomb rolling could be improved by having it be calibrated that only a slight tilt downward is necessary to prompt the roll action. That shit was awesome though. Curving the line on the roll was a cool little detail I doubt many appreciated.
I agree. Biggest issue I have with motion controls are their blatant over use. Just use motion where it's needed and move on, there's no need to have everything you possibly can mapped to a movement. Early Wii games were the worst, everyone was trying far too hard and ended up making a messy game that could have been much better (Red Steel 1, for example)
Ooooh, maybe we can put it on the ground like a golf tee and launch beetles off of it. Coz putting a (rumored) pack-in only $200 tablet controller on the ground is a perfectly sound idea. No way kids
or drunken roommates

eh?
basically lots of comments just say "motion control sucks" and don't provide any further comment; unlike posts that pinpoint certain issues they have with the controls (like poor swimming control or reliability, etc)
How do you expect to get into a meaningful discussion when you just bash something without providing any reason or detail? Sad story that you hate it, but who cares?
Really that would be heaven. I loved the motion controls in SS at times but sometimes I just wanted to kick back and play the lazy way too.

Thank goodness. A huge step up for the series.
I enjoyed Darksiders 1 more than Wind Waker and TP.
Also 3D dot game Heroes is the best Zelda since OOT.
Consider me 100% sold on the Wiiu then, next gen Zelda is going to be mind blowing. Nintendo accomplished something remarkable with Skyward Sword's controls. It would be a HUGE disappointment if they left them on Wii because playing a Zelda game (or a video game in general) has never been so... fun! I come back to Skyward Sword on a regular basis just to chop up some Bokoblins. If the Wii had these kinds of controls for more games from the beginning I would had never sold it.
Oh it works fine if you are standing up, but sitting down it's a pain. It can be fixed easily.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
I've certainly outgrown Nintendo but I recognize that there are scads and scads of people that are more than willing to throw them their money.
I vaguely recall posting about the different controller configurations way back, but using a Wiimote+ simultaniously with the Wiipad was one of them:
Single-player
Wiimote+ used together with the Wiipad whilst the latter is resting on a dock on the table. It will only be used to display non-critical pieces of information and only sporadically require you to use the touchscreen out of the heat of combat.
The truth is, you can probably replicate the sword swinging controls on the touchscreen with a stylus. You would basically be controlling the tip of the sword, which is the cursor, and just drag or swipe it and get the same result.
Hardcore gamers sure are immature. Nintendo will be fine without them.
Call of Duty awaits, guys. Have fun!

If the controls were responsive enough it would be fine, but they're simply not with the current tech.
I feel like if they have horrible motion controls in the next Zelda game it will ruin so much of my love for the series. Skyward Sword was such a crushing disappointment as it is.

I know, but several posters seem to forget that fact
