Plus, an update on the upcoming Star Fox title!
New footage of the upcoming The Legend of Zelda Wii U title closed off The Game Awards tonight.
In it, Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma and Shigeru Miyamoto demonstrated Link riding trusted steed Epona through a variety of situations. From what it appears, Anouma's promise of the upcoming Zelda title to be a open world experience looks to be accurate. They also demonstrated the map area detailed on the Wii U GamePad's screen.
While riding your horse, you seemingly can set auto-pilot and watch as your horse carries you to a destination. When that happens, you can use weapons and more while you ride. You can even vault off of the horse and fire off an arrow in mid-air in a bullet-time-like fashion. The demo also showed Link using the sail cloth, which was last seen in Skyward Sword.
Miyamoto also gave a brief update on the upcoming Star Fox title. Progress is good and they look to have it out next year, before the Legend of Zelda game also due out next year.
I love how companies spend untold millions on shiny, epic, "cinematic" CG trailers and Nintendo's like, nah we're just going to have two dudes sitting here, playing the game. And you won't even get to see direct footage, it's all going to be a camera pointing at a monitor.
Nintendo also didn't buy ads during the "commercial breaks".
With the waypoint thing did Nintendo just "discover" this pre-existing idea themselves and are too ignorant to know that or do they just buy into that "no one else has good ideas but Nintendo" thing so well that they feel the need to try to make US think they just invented it? Don't like Gamepad usage.

Don't like Gamepad usage. I'm rather sick of this annoying Nintendo dynamic where a great game is trapped behind stupid gimmicky control mechanics. Yeah, I haven't played it but the track record from Nintendo on this stuff is so shitty that I have zero faith in any non-traditional controls from them. And not offering some direct feed is pretty lame.
