Forums - Nintendo - Doubt about Skyward Sword

TX109 on 17 June 2010

he doesnt want make two seperate games for one console with the only difference being the hand you use. having two games whose box art look exactly the same next to each other, but say "for Lefties!" or"For Righties!", and then having two worlds for one game on the same system doesnt have a whole lot of sense behind it. at least IMO

and calm down, i think they will have a left-handed option, there is several months between now and release. i trust nintendo will figure something out.. im just wondering why they have to mirror the entire world. i agree they should do a left handed option but i dont like the idea of the whole world being mirrored.

seriously stop your bitching lefties. I am left handed I learn to use both my hands when I do things. Why? cause you never know you may loose your left hand in an accident. It is easier to learn when you are younger. Not when your older.

It feels just as natural to play with my right as it does with my left.

Mirroring the entire world is the easy solution.

Think the positive side: you'll use the shield better than anybody else.

That's not funny. I'm really disappointed right now. Actually, I'm so sad because of this that I'm crying. I thought this would be an epic game, but, right now, seems more like the greatest failure in Zelda history, to me. I don't want it anymore.

I'm not sure I understand.

What keeps you from using the remote in your left hand for Skyward Sword?

It would be rather distorting, considering that what, to Link, would be an outward swing will now, to you, have to go across your chest. With higher precision it matters more, i think.

But it's the point only that it goes from left-to-right, and right-to-left?

I don't see the problem, mechanically.

@Maneco:

A mirrored Link wouldn't solve the problem. They'd also need to redo all of his animations and interactions with every object in the game from scratch.

But, still, this shows Nintendo doesn't take some of their fans in consideration. I just don't like this, it should be perfect for anyone, not just the majority.

Meh, it will still be great and you'll learn to deal with it like any other game.

It's easy for you to say that, but for me, at least, this is a lack of consideration for fans. Link is originally left-handed. If Aonuma thinks it won't affect gameplay, then why make him right-handed? I really didn't like it and I already stated months ago this would be the greatest shame Nintendo could do with this fucking game. I'm not buying it anymore.


Sorry man.

Most left-handed people learnt to be two-handed because everthing is made for right-handed people. So a switch shouldn't be that bad. You probably had to do that before.

Too bad this world is unfair...

But would it take too much memory to get an option to flip everything [horizontally] (not just Link, the entire world and animations), right from the start?

You don't think this is taking it a bit overboard?

wow man. You really took it hard. Maybe I shouldn't have posted that... Anyways, I'm sure they will mirror everything just like they did with the old one, seems like it worked on the previous game.

lol...

Seriously though, Maneco, try to calm down a bit. You haven't tried it yourself yet, have you? It probably plays just fine with your hands switched... the image on screen isn't that big of a deal.

Try the game out first, at least, before panicking so much. If it was the greatest game ever with left hand mode included, a little thing like this shouldn't turn it into something not purchasing.

yeah but it seems lacking in sense to me. why cant they just mirror link? i know they would have to configure some animations but it seems a small price to pay for putting one game on the market that can appeall to everyone.

oh well, this doesnt affect me so im not mad. like i said, im sure theyll figure it out.

1. You are overreacting. Ten to one it plays fine with the wiimote in your left hand.

2. Nintendo did not fail to consider you. Miyamoto himselef is a southpaw. He plays the game more than anyone. He judged that southpaws wouldn't mind playing this way.

3. If you let this put you off of buying what you already anticipate to be one of the greatest games of te generation, I'm not going to try to convince you, but I will suggest that you are taking your reaction several steps beyond what's reasonable.
