"Clearly stupid"? Buh? Hey I'm telling you, The Legend of DanceDance: Link's Dancewakening is going to be the shot in the arm that the series has been in need of for years.

That was meant more towards me originating the idea, not a jab at you. I find it hilarious.

This might be the closest thing Plugabugz gets to his Beyonce Bootylicious Dance thingamajiger

If that "shot in the arm" looks something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jDbBhks7F0&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Edestructoid%2Ecom%2F&feature=player_embedded, then I think I'll pass.

Further quotes of interest from the Wired interview that IGN referenced (and BlackNMild2k1 posted elsewhere):

Quote from: Wired.com

“The goal at this point is that we would make Wii MotionPlus required in order to play Zelda,” he said.

It’s reasonable to assume that Zelda’s use of MotionPlus might depend on how many of the devices Nintendo sells between now and the game’s far-off release date. But Miyamoto says that’s not actually the case.

“The bigger hurdle for us is not really whether people have a Wii MotionPlus or don’t have it, it’s whether or not the experience is one where people will think they want to have a Wii Motion Plus in order to experience it,” he said.

Quote from: Wired.com

Miyamoto went on to say that the game is still in a rougher state of development, which is why Nintendo declined to show any of it at E3.

“The development of Zelda has been focused strictly on the gameplay structure at this point. We haven’t devoted much in the way of efforts to things like graphical representation, and story, and those types of production elements,” he said.

So much for my suspicions (hopes) about a living painting for the game world. Also, it looks like Ms. Pointy-head-sword-girl is mostly a gameplay mechanic at this point. Hmm...

The article concludes with Miyamoto guessing that the game will need to wait until 2011 for release to avoid previously unveiled "heavy hitters" Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M in 2010, though I'd expect the development hiccups and readjustments that seem inherent in a project like Zelda would push the game's release to 2011 anyway.

Stratos · « **Reply #108 on:** June 16, 2009, 02:10:54 PM »

Maybe Link's sword is actually a character in this one and it can transform into the "pointy-headed-sword-girl"?

I remember some of the legends of King Arthur where his sword sang.

Also some Korean legends tell of swords speaking, possesing and emposering people for great deeds.

So this 'Sword Spirit' could pop up out of the sword (or transform) and talk to you Midna/Navi style to further story or explain matters.

"I remember some of the legends of King Arthur where his sword sang."

That was an episode of Muppet Babies, not a legend.

And annoying talking swords were already done in Sonic and the Awesome Knight.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #110 on:** June 16, 2009, 02:23:24 PM »

Maybe link goes on a hallucinogenic trip (bad mushrooms from the mushroom kingdom?) and now he imagines his sword talking to him.

Stratos, I like your typo a lot.

Emposering = enabling the skills of the poser

LOL, since my computer died I have to use other peoples until I get a new one and other people in my family do not use FireFox. I didn't realize until now how much I rely on FireFox's spellcheck feature until I lost the ability to use it. My grammar and spelling are suffering because of it :/
While I'm no grammar/spelling nazi, I do prefer my own posts to be as correct and clear as possible so it drives me nuts I can't check it. If I really doubt my spelling I copy my text into Word and check it there now.

Emposering is now a new word. Let's define it: Empowering someone to be a Poser. Link's sword makes him a Poser?

That, or in his hallucination he imagines that some innocent girl is his sword...

Girl: "Somebody help!"

Link: "Shut up! Swords don't talk"

Girl: "I'm not a sword! Let me goooooo!"

Link: "I don't hear you. LA LA LA LA LA LA"

The New Zelda Wii should be compatible only with Motion Plus add-on.
Check this article at Eurogamer.net for more info.
I look forward to playing this game.

Mario already did the sentient weapon with Fludd in Sunshine. This game rips off Miyamoto.

Link's sword is the new Baton.

With the power of Motion+ you have 1:1 control over your sword and swing it around like a baton to compose muzak

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #122 on:** June 18, 2009, 10:18:08 AM »

If MotionPlus is as great as we're all thinking it is, will we ever be able to go back to playing games that DON'T use it?

Well it really depends on the type of game, don't you think?

I'd be pretty impressed if a new Zelda game thoroughly out-did OoT-style control. It seems possible, though.
