Right on time. Good work.
Just don't go wildly swinging (or waggling), and you're good. It's not perfect but it works a hell of a lot better than some think.
You're in luck, you can't play it with waggle.

Would say so. They have not released the Wii version of Twilight Princess on the eShop. That should be some sort of indication.

Why would you want to? Best part of the game....

Zelda Oot and MM went to VC before getting remastered. It will be late in NX's life when we get it. Prob 10 year anniversary.

The only Zelda game I've never finished. (Not counting the cd-I games)
So sick of the motion controls. Just couldn't take anymore.

From 480p. Still doesn't look all that hot to be honest.

Lots of mixed impressions on here, I was always a little interested in trying this game. Maybe I should just go back to trying to finish Wind Waker HD.

Almost had a heart attack when he showed the logo, I wanted it to be Skyward HD so bad ;____;
This literally happened to me on the final boss fight.
There I was, in the heat of battle, fully immersed in this epic struggle for the fate of the world, the ultimate clash between darkness and light, with nothing standing between me and my opponent, as I raise my sword high into the air, sword beaming with white light, and...
"Master, your wii remote batteries are running low. I suggest you replace them."
... I have never, ever been sucked out of the moment as hard as I was when that happened. You just had to get one last one in, didn't you Fi...
I didn't like the game but graphics were one thing i didnt have any complaints about, for a wii game at least

I wonder if Nintendo will explain their reasoning behind not doing a remaster.

Wind Waker is an astounding Zelda experience, do play it.
Personally I loved Skyward Sword so much it became my 2nd favorite Zelda game. The music, the visuals, the enemies, the dungeons, the boss fights. All incredibly good.
Unlike many Zelda games, I can actually name a few NPCs from SS, because they were actually memorable, quasi fleshed out characters.
I never had any problems getting motion controls to work for me, but I don't flail my arms like a moron, as I've watched many of my friends try.
I promise you, the game registers small motions fairly well, relax and you'll get it.

It never ceases to amaze me how Nintendo can't even have standard practices across all their games. Mario Galaxy can alert you about low batteries with a quick beep and a small logo in the bottom right of the screen, but Zelda needs to interrupt you with flavor text?
If you're open to learning some complex Motion controls, you may really enjoy it. We tried it and very much couldn't get into it after an hour of play, then tried it again a couple years later and found it to have a significant learning curve (I made a thread at the time titled "Help, I'm terrible at Skyward Sword!") but came to absolutely love it. One of my and my wife's favorite games of all time. It has a 93 on MC so when it came out it was pretty universally praised.

I think the motion control is the best part of this game. The focus on collecting things and the constant need to remind us of what we just picked up made this a chore to play. I will download it (I'm a sucker for Zelda). Hopefully it will make a better impression this time.

It's a Zelda game with zero exploration elements (which pisses off a lot of people), requires you to swing a sword straight instead of simply pushing a button (which pisses off a lot of people) and has a lot of reminders and babysitting of resources and objectives (which pisses off a lot of people)
Do you like dungeons? Skyward Sword's whole thing is that even the non dungeon areas are more linear and require more puzzle solving than other Zeldas. It's like the whole game is structured as one big series of dungeons. If that sounds fun, you'll enjoy it, but if you play the series for the rudimentary open world elements, stay very far away.

Which other Wii games are $10? Xenoblade and some other recent ones are $20 ($28.19CAD)
They can be accurate and still be terrible.

If they're accurate, that means it comes down to user error.

Sweet! I have never played this game. Just finished Tokyo Mirage Sessions last night and was looking for a new game!

When the Wii games were introduced to the eShop, they were all $10 for the first week. I doubt they'll give us that deal this time.

Would get a copy if I didn't still have my disc. Anyone who hasn't played it yet, hope you enjoy. It's my personal favorite Zelda game, and I always love to see people give it an honest shot!

I've been playing this on and off over the last few weeks.
It's a mixed game, but also a classic case of highs so very high that the lows barely register.
In return for indulging a bit of repetition and bloat, you get some of the best dungeons, puzzles, action, characters, visual design and storytelling in the series.

The ending must have been bittersweet for you, heh.

This is fantastic. I've wanted to play SS for a loooonnggg time, but the physical copy's price has always been bananas.

hopefully a slip, indicating a remaster.
I'm not into this but I'd get a remaster on day one.

Yeah Nintendo seems to have a soft spot for SS given the love it's gotten after it's release with Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart and even Sonic, so I'd expect a remaster in the future.

What the hell is a "Waggle Stick"?
Nah, none, sorry. This is just a Wii title eShop release, like SMG, Kirby's Epic Yarn, etc. before it.

Hopefully. Or simply indicating there are zero changes to the game with this eShop release. Fingers crossed for a proper remaster.

I'll wait for the inevitable NX remaster.
