Skyward Sword release date
New details and a possible release date on this new Zelda game.
Release date: September 25th, 2011.

New details on storyline.

"As you step through the brush, you sense something is off. You creep slowly toward the river that meanders through this small clearing. You peer into the water and only see your reflection staring back at you. Taking a few deep breaths to calm yourself, you turn around to look up and see a massive monster towering over you. Pulling your sword from its sheath and raising your shield — you look skyward and get ready for an epic battle.

Embark on Link’s greatest adventure yet with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Full motion control is supported by the Wii MotionPlus accessory and allows Link’s actions to mirror your movements on-screen. Draw a bow and fire it, toss bombs at enemies and use your whip to solve puzzles with clear accuracy. The precision play control links every action of Link’s sword to your motions for intuitive gameplay. This new control applies to enemies as well — carefully plot your attacks, for your opponents actively try to defend themselves. New gameplay mechanics, beautifully designed visuals and intuitive controls allow you to begin Link’s most exciting quest yet."

It's also very common for retailers to put a random release date as a placement until they know the real release date.

A source of a retail store isn't credible at all.

Not getting my hopes up, cause yes I do agree I've seen this happen with other games as well. But I still do believe that it will be released this year.

Same thing I am hoping for.

Well on the bright side... what if the retail store is correct? Hmm... Big N will have more time to improve the overall game.

Well they did provide new information such as the synopsis. Best Buy is a credible retailer and the president even attended the release of the 3DS, so they do have connections with Nintendo as it was launched at Best Buy.

Eh, I'll wait for the official announcement. Although I'm not surprised by the release date either. Just kind of bugs me how there aren't any games coming out until E3, and yet we still have a Kirby, Pokemon, and Zelda apparently ready to hit the shelves by the end of the year.

So what will Link be this time? A scuba diver? An astronaut? A street prostitute? A clown molester working children's birthday parties? A meandering video game designer who ran out of good ideas decades ago?

Oh, for fuck's sake... First, they said Q1 2011. So I was like, "OK then,". Then Nintendo disappeared up the 3DS's backside and decided to ignore the fact that the Wii existed (millions of developers out there and the best game you can come up with is Top Spin 4?!)

Now, we have a September release date... Ugh; this makes me sick. Next thing at E3, Reggie will be announcing, "Oh, we've cancelled LoZ:SS for the Wii, but it's going to be out for the Wii 2 Q1 2012!" *bang*

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
