The game was also demonstrated extensively to show how the Wii controller is used to enhance the gameplay. Surprisingly, the sword is controlled using the accelerometer in the analog attachment, not the remote. The B button will also initiate a basic sword attack. The remote will be used to control the menus, camera, and distance weapons and items (bow, hookshot and boomerang so far). For menu purposes, Navi the endearing fairy from Ocarina of Time, makes a return flying to the location you point to when navigating menus.
Fishing was also shown in a video reel and it seemed to use the controller as you might expect. The remote appeared to be used to cast the line and a "reeling" motion with the analog attachment reeled the fish in.
The graphics reportedly look about the same as they did last year at a glance.

QuoteIt all depends on if you're planning on getting a Wii at launch. If you are, there's no reason not to get Twilight Princess for Wii (provided Nintendo doesn't eff up the controls) unless you're big on spite.

Im not going to get milked, thats for sure, and TP was moved to the Wii only for pure financial reasons, to give the console an extra push at launch, and that makes the wii version of less value for me, this functionality was tacked in towards the end of the development cycle of the game, and thats a cheap move honestly. Ill only miss the fishing, but no way in hell Im buying the wii version for just fishing.
