Nintendo puts rumors of Skyward Sword on Switch to rest, no current plans for a port

During a recent Legend of Zelda concert that took place in Japan, Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma made a comment on stage that drove fans to think that Nintendo was possibly planning to port the Wii's The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword to the Switch. He taunted the audience when questioned about Breath of the Wild, replying with "are you sure you don't want to ask about a Switch version of Skyward Sword?" which a reference to an earlier moment where the concert's host had expressed how much they enjoyed the music of Skyward Sword. This set sites into a frenzy, wondering if Aonuma's comment meant something more. However, an official statement from Nintendo today has grounded such ideas. According to the company, they, "have no plans to release The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on Nintendo Switch" at this time.

...? Did you read the post?

Also kinda disapointing. I never got around to playing skyward sword since by the time it came out my Wii's disc drive wasnt working. Hopefully they'll port it at some point.

I kind of hated the motion control the stupid birds and over all, it's kind of lackluster for me personally. But I guess they will port Twilight Princess to the end of freaking times... (god do I despise Twilight Princess...)

I would they rather made a new Zelda, I wouldn't mind if it's a follow up to any game. I actually like BOTW the best so far.
I love the motion controls and still play it on my WiiU. Same for Twilight Princess.

You seem to get off on making useless comments on news posts. I'd recommend you stop word vomiting on news threads, and throw your weird grudge away. You only make yourself look like a fool.

Probably still going to happen. I'm sure nintendo saw a lot of hype for this, hopefully it will be a decent port utilizing switch features and possibly a better control scheme. Either that, or they aren't going to port it at all... or a wii vc port or something....... who the hell knows with nintendo:wacko:

Oddly enough the only thing I really remember about Skyward Sword (since I played it through super fast and promptly moved onto the next game on my backlog...) was how annoying and enraged I was that EVERY time you would power up the Wii and boot the game and resume playing and when you collected a loot item THAT YOU ALREADY OWNED it would DO IT'S STUPID LITTLE ANIMATION AND MAKE YOU SLOW READ THE ENTIRE LOOT ITEM DESCRIPTION AGAIN. Like seriously how was this never caught in the debugging and testing? Did everyone play in a single setting and not in 30-45 minutes bursts like me? But seriously also why in the crap was the text so stinking SLOW in this game? And why did Link's companion sword thingie spoil the solution of EVERY puzzle every time you entered a new area? OK looks like I am remembering more now. One bad memory leads to another.
