535 users, 129 members, 401 guests, 5 anons.... Jesus christ, this is bigger than the NSMB Wii and Galaxy 2 leaks...

CJay, incase you haven't noticed, check your pms? :D
Thats because this game is bigger, plus we can read, stop posting the user info.

Ever though about using Bastian as a nick name for your self in the game?
I tried that one, but don't really like it. I've tried all different kinds of nicknames, but I've never had the ability to use my actual name in a Zelda game, ever. It's just so infuriating, one single letter... xD

I have played many PAL region games before (Xenoblade being the most recent) but I have always wondered: Are there any drawbacks of playing a PAL game on an NTSC console? Like graphic-wise or something like that? I have never noticed something like that, but I just want to be sure. I want to play Skyward Sword at it best!

Graphically the native 50Hz PAL signal is accually a little better in the line of resolution. 640 x 576i or 720 x 576i ( wide screen )
Progressive modes are both the same 480p.

This is true of movies, but generally not of games. The game is still internally rendered at 640x480 (or 320x240 for older consoles) Most 50hz games simply have borders.

It a choosable option in the wii settings of PAL Wii's. The resolution is higher. NTSC > 640 x 480 60Hz PAL 640 x 576 50Hz.
60Hz or Progressive mode adds a higer framerate though.

Read what I said more carefully - I know the PAL standard itself is a higher resolution, but for video games this doesn't matter. Video games are internally rendered at a certain resolution - the output is of little consequence. If played on a console where the systems is set to 576i/p, then the game is simply upconverted to that resolution; the models aren't rendered natively at that resolution. In some (older) cases, the games were actually bordered to compensate for the resolution difference. It's similar to playing SD content on an HD television - it's upconverted to 720p/1080p, but since it's not rendered at that resolution natively, it looks worse than it would on an SDTV.

PAL Wii consoles acctually can render at 576i Natively but at 50Hz only.
480p (PAL/NTSC), 480i (PAL/NTSC) or 576i (PAL/SECAM), standard 4:3 and 16:9 anamorphic widescreen

I know this is probably on past pages, but since the volume of messages are too high, can someone tell me if CJay has it NTSC or PAL?

Trust me the models aren't rendered at 576i/p. 2d graphics might be, but anything 3d isn't.

He has it in PAL

I've been keeping tabs on this since last night. Had a near scare with my wii and flashing a new theme (in the end I gave up, but thankyou whoever made priiloader)

Enjoyed the demo. Couldn't get the hang of flying though! Hope its not as difficult as my first experience.

Well done mods for keeping this thread so clean.

What's awesome is that there is a code for the demo that make it so you can play with the normal wiimote. Not gonna even need a wiimotion plus.

It's easy once you get the hang of it. Wave the remote back and forth to flap your wings and gain altitude. Then dive on the bird and intercept it. The 3 charges help with this.
