You don't have to hit play

Anyway, I played the game again at GameX. I'm liking the sword-controls less and less each time I play it, but I do think that's because I'm not used to it yet. You can't simply use your wrist to flick the mote, you have to actually bring your arm back to whatever position, depending on how you wanna strike, and then slash the sword in the direction you want it to go. It's not bad, it's just very odd at first after having played Twilight Princess on the Wii. I'm sure I'll get used to it though, and I'm also sure that when I do, it'll work really nicely!

Which is precisely what Nintendo was trying to get away from- honestly I hated the Wii TP's "swordplay" because it felt more annoying rather than innovative.

I just preordered Skyward Sword awhile ago, the Wii Remote bundle. At Gamestop.

:'D

Ps - Why does everyone have a problem with Gamestop? I never do. I've always went there for games. Soul Silver, DKC Returns, my DSi, no problems at all...

I think I'm going to buy the game on release day. It sounds that utterly amazing. It will be my first time ever doing so.
EDIT: Well, okay. It TECHNICALLY falls on a Sunday. I'll just buy it at midnight. I shouldn't have much competition here in Utah...

The way it's going, every reviewer will rate the game with a perfect score.

In 20 years, it will be ported more times than OoT!

Doesn't make it feel any better :shrugs:

I mean, if it did that and was really good, then it'd been fine, but it's not. However, what I'm saying is that I hope it is just a thing you'll get used to. If it's not, then wow I'm probably not finishing it.

Well, good, I never really played TP on Wii, I played it on Gamecube! It'll take a bit for all of us to get used to the different controls, no matter what we've played before. Sounds exciting though!!

I preordered my golden Wii Remote bundle today! Yayyy! XD

[Beefster]

Does the Wiimote bundle come with a Wii Motion plus?

If so, I'm going for the bundle. I need another Wiimote as well.

[Jared]

It's a Wiimote with the WMP inside.
So, it's a Wii Remote Plus, I guess xD

But yes, it does. Why would they give you a remote without the WMP if you need it for the game? LOL

[Moonbread]

Yeah, and it's basically 50% off too- a normal Wii Remote Plus is $40, and you only get it for $20, and it looks hella badass. It's worth it. Of course, I have to buy a new nunchuck, that would be my luck.

Plus, if you were to buy a WMP and a new remote alone, it'd be $60

[Moonbread]

No, the controllers that have WMP built in already are $40 by themselves. It's not $60 unless you're buying a normal controller with it.

Kind of surprised that I wasn't the last person to preorder this, but I guess there is still 2 more weeks now for people to preorder it, and then it'll be released.

Yeah, the new Wii Remotes have the WMP built right into them, so you don't have to worry about that hideous little box hanging onto the bottom of the Wiimote. They're quite nice!

Built right into them? Isn't that hard to turn on and off the remote casing, then?

[Nicholas Steel]

What? They managed to fit it in the standard WiiMote, same physical dimensions as a normal WiiMote. Presumably they're using a smaller manufacturing process to shrink the size of various components so that it fits while simultaneously increasing battery life and reducing the cost.

[Jared]

Well, now i have a useless WMP that I'll probably never need
And I'm never letting my brother use my Golden Wiimote! It's going to stay in good condition

Finally, two weeks left! My parents are also sensing my excitement xD
