Are there Pyramids in Zelda games? Oh why yes! Egyptian-like Pyramids!

Basically Zelda mixes the mythology of different cultures as long as they're not black.

Learned our history from Charlton Heston movies, I see.

To be fair, step pyramids aren't unique to either hemisphere. It's not wrong, so much as it reveals Spram's terrible racist tendencies.

Wired: hands on with Skyward Sword.

LESS time spent bullshitting before you get your sword, which is apparently the bar for Zelda games now.

Sounds like the MotionPlus swordplay is neat, but not crazy about the Stamina Meter stunts. Not sure I'll get it, and I suppose if I don't that pretty much means I've given up on my Wii, short of modding it to play Xenoblade.

Pretty sure Erect Penis is the console's last dying gasp here. Which is fine, I'm ready to play Nintendo games that don't pixelate horribly on my TV.

Skyward Sword itself is tempting just for GOLD WIIMOTE (and the threat that you'll get fucked over if you don't buy it with GOLD WIIMOTE, which I'm not too impressed about) but if you wait a month they'll probably announce a WiiOnU port with native 1080p rendering and a goofy retrofit control scheme that doesn't support the original despite the hardware being perfectly compatible. Sorry, what were e talking about again?

Well, yes, which means if I don't buy it I've given up on the console.

How's Dolphin work for you? I've poked at it a bit but haven't gotten smooth HD play.

As an aside, I did just that recently, and was shocked how much easier it is now than when I modded one for Another Code R.

i duno.. i guess i'll wait a long while till i play another zelda. The things i liked best in zelda games were teh little things you could read in between the lines, on the sidequests. How intricate the whole in-Zelda world became if you looked very carefully and sustained your disbelief.

That's why Majora takes the prize as the best ever for me. The whole mirror universe apocalyptic groundhog day thing was really really good.

I didnt play the DS ones, or the oracle ones. Maybe the new wii one will be my next, i duno...

what i know is, i get a really funny bittersweet feeling when i see all these brazillian pre-yuppie hipster fanboys... and that puts me away from what once was my favorite series.

I preordered the gold remote because gold remote and I don't already have a Wii Motion Plus, but then I also remembered that the gold remote probably won't work in the charging cradle I have for my remotes. I hate you, Nintendad.

Zelda: Erect Penis works natively with a yellow Wii, but if you've only got a white Wii you'll find it disappointingly impotent unless you give it an extra nut.

Genitals.

They make remotes with built-in Motionplus that aren't gold. In fact they've come standard since they first started making them, not that that helps anybody who already had one.

Romosome · « **Reply #332 on:** October 08, 2011, 12:03:57 PM »

The gold ones have motionplus built-in?

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #333 on:** October 08, 2011, 12:32:14 PM »

All new remotes have Motionplus built in. The dongle exists to make the older models compatible. You can tell which kind you've got by checking to see if there's the curved bidirectional arrow logo thing at the bottom, I think.

Thad · « **Reply #334 on:** November 11, 2011, 07:55:20 AM »

Ars likes Skyward Sword. Doesn't sound explore-y enough for me, but customization is a neat idea.

Again, if I don't buy it it pretty much means I've given up on my Wii. (Well, there's DQ10 coming, I guess.) It's low-priority at this point, though.

I never finished Twilight Princess, tried Minish Cap but couldn't get into it, and frankly the next Zelda game I expect I'll play is Gunman's Proof.

25 years and some fans are doing amazing things.

Skyward Sword thus far.
So I got through the first two dungeons pretty easily. The controls are probably the weirdest thing to get used to, but now I'm fighting pretty alright. Your shield will break a lot. There's so many nods to Ocarina of Time it's crazy. Thing's you won't realize until later that hey. YOU KNOW THAT PERSON. The music is awesome and the bosses are really fun. Though the first one will kick your ass if your not immediately awesome at controlling the sword.
