 “Repetitive career mode” Wait, you mean you can’t turn right in this game? Whoa. I’m not into this but, It’s intriguing to think about what a 9-10 score NASCAR game would be like; is it even possible?

 As well, possibly Phi and the Siren realm have some sort of connection considering both have a distinct blue tint to them. And the diamond motif from Ghirihim and Phi also draws certain acquaintances. I would assume the tears of light collection gameplay would have a strong justification if it’s included again amongst a game that is anticipated to have a high degree of differentiation (at least within Zelda titles).  Considering a lot of games are using the “revelation” perspective this season, Skyward Sword might as well be included.

 Maybe I’m just not accustomed to the “script”, but to me it looks distinctively like computer chip circuitry. My guess is the Phi is a spirit somehow associated with the Skyward Sword; which itself is some sort of technology. From what I’ve I heard, Phi speaks with a computer accent, and you can see from her text and syntax, that it’s techno-centric. This leads me to think the Skyward Sword is some sort of “foreign” technology; possibly created by the civilization is Skyloft. Or, maybe the technology aspect of medieval weaponry like swords and shields, is granted by Phi; since there seems to be a lack of such technology in the Master Sword (which is eventually “forged” form the Skyward Sword).  If you can hold your sword skyward, and power it up, and release that energy; that power would either have to be granted by either “magic” or some technology or spirit like Phi. Considering that Zelda is a priestess, and Ghirihim is a demon, I can only assume that this game centers around both supernatural and technological forces. This seems like a refreshing pace and interesting combination. But who knows, we’ll have to wait and see.

 My apologies if I was inaccurate; but whether the cord connected to the controller was for battery and/or gameplay, no one knows for sure. However, if the controller chip or wireless communication is too slow, Nintendo still has at least 9 months before they have to give a definitive console. Hopefully they will use that time wisely.

 I am actually surprised to see these allegations against Nintendo are not more directly addressed as rumors. I can understand this online source has made accurate deductions in the past regarding the Wii U hardware; but does that grant credentials for such recent statements? At this point, I assume they’re riding their own coattails. For the individuals at NWR who have played the Wii U demos at E3, there weren’t any cables hooked up for the games. What are your thoughts on how the controller responded wirelessly? I understand demos are different than having to develop a new game for a system; but it seems the recent barrage of apocryphal news from one source has become overwhelming, and is being recognized amongst a lack of real news, unfortunately. I would anticipate Nintendo making changes to their new controller. If there is a silver lining to the mistakes of the 3DS’ launch, it’s that Nintendo will hopefully take their time, and release the console during a season that it will sell well (not summer). And that they will price it aggressively against the competition. I’ll be listening, keep it up.

 Weird, I just checked it again and I was verified and okay. Maybe they had a hiccup. Good to know though.

 Hmm… I downloaded Let’s Golf 3D two weeks ago and when I entered my code BOTH upper case and lower case it said my “[font=]Information is not available for this serial number.” I also tried it with and without the last digit, it didn’t mater. I’m not worried because I can still prove I’m an ambassador (because I’ve received two Spotpass updates concerning it). But what’s the point of having a confirmation page if it only creates doubt in individuals like me who were confident in their enrollment in the first place? If I can’t confirm it soon then I will have a problem.[/font]
