I kind of thought I was looking at regular Wii footage and expected to see like a transition to a much cleaner image, but then I realized that this was already it. Bit of a bummer, it’s like Twilight Princess; looks the same but with higher resolution. At least with Wind Waker they improved all kinds of things, most notably of course the lighting.

60fps trumps all that in my eyes. Not like Skyward Sword didn't already look beautiful anyway.

Doesn’t really matter to me in this case, it’s an adventure game, not a racing game or a fighting game. A game like this is fine in 30fps because it’s slow enough. Sure, higher is better if you can but if you have to choose then in this case I’d pick an increase in graphics and effects and lighting. Skyward Sword looked fine for a Wii game, but even on that console it wasn’t the best. It’s kind of flat now. They brought Wind Waker into a more modern age but they didn’t do that for Twilight Princess and don’t seem to be doing it for Skyward Sword.

They implemented an option for standard controls as well.

They had to because otherwise it doesn’t work for a lot of people, both Lite owners as well as those that primarily use the handheld mode, like me. Besides, the way they did it seems to destroy a lot of the finesse the motion control has when you use that. In my mind, I thought they would make it so that Link’s sword would mimic your motion of the control stick if they’d ever make a controller operated version; like if you’d slowly rotate the stick Link would slowly move his sword in a circle. But it doesn’t really seem like that’s the case. It looks like he just stabs when pushing it down and slashes at a perfect 45 degree angle when you push the stick diagonally. Now I could be wrong about this, because we haven’t seen how it works when you have to solve one of the eye puzzles.

Anyway having said all that, obviously I’ll buy it day one. It’s a mainline Zelda game and therefore good; it’s still on my honourable mentions in my Top 50 list after all.
