Sheesh, I've done SPOILER the first trial already, but it doesn't feel very Zelda-ish. And sometimes the story lacks too. SPOILERSEND

The name Hylia is mentioned in just about every Zelda game. Now we know why.

Am I the only one with complaints about the sluggish pointer controls? Minor annoyance, yes, but it doesn't make sense. The standard Wii menu responsiveness is PERFECT. I don't know why they would have made the cursor feel so heavy in menus for this game.

that's because the game doesn't use the IR camera for pointer controls. it only uses the accelerometer and gyroscope, just like the sony move does. it does give you a clunkier feel that's more like holding a real bow, but they could have gotten a similar feel using the IR camera with low sensitivity and then it wouldn't have ever needed to be calibrated/recalibrated. i still like the aiming controls better than twilight princess' controls, though, IR aiming doesn't feel right for a bow.

i beat the game and mostly loved it, but had some major problems with the sword. at first, i kept getting swings to register the opposite direction of what i was doing. i learned not to wind back as much before swinging and to use smaller motions and that helped, but the calibration still fails like crazy. the bamboo cutting game is the worst, there's no way to reach the end without the sword swings going totally perpendicular to what i'm doing. i have to pause and let the cursor settle back to center before moving on.

i don't know if anyone else had this problem too but i also had the remote freeze up and only perform nunchuk actions a few times in the game. once was during the scorpion boss, the other was ghirahim's last form. i'd thrust with the remote and instead of stabbing link would do a shield bash or spin attack over and over, even if the nunchuk was totally still. it made it really hard to finish those fights, in fact ghirahim killed me 3 times because of it. pretty lame way to finish off the game.

still an amazing game though, it really makes you want to run through ocarina of time again just to see how everything lines up. i just wish it had been as easy to control as red steel 2 and WSR were.

I've just got the hidden item in the fourth dungeon! It does have a little Chinese feeling for me, actually. Maybe the music sounds a bit alike? Anyway, how do you purnounce Cistern?

Weird. I never had any problems with the swordplay. It almost sounds that something's wrong with your remote.

I didn't have any problems too, regarding it's controls. In fact, it's controls are done in extremely accuracy. If there's something wrong, you're the one to blame for it. :p

By the way, welcome back romulux ;)

well, first the sensor bar is NOT a camera. And Move's poiter is NOT made with gyroscope only

it feels perfect for the Bow. but i Also feel it would be better to use the sensor bar for all other pointer actions. Recenter the cursor would not be necessary if they integrated the sensor bar - like on Red Steel 2; its kind of a strange decision - but maybe it hepls keeping the motion plus calibrated.
As for sword, not a problem with it - it feels just perfect.

The Wii Remote uses an IR camera to detect the sensor bar.

Anyway, about the pointer controls. They felt weird for me until I realized I wasn't using them correctly. You're not supposed to point at a certain spot on the screen. You have to turn the remote in that direction. That's why the game lets you recenter the cursor.

As long as we're talking about Skyward Sword's controls,

It definitely sounds like there's something wrong with your game, or your Wii Motion +. I've heard a few complaints about the controls from some people, but nothing that severe.

here's a video of what i was talking about:

i realize that looks ridiculous, but you can see link swinging diagonal or vertical while i'm still going horizontal, then the cursor drifts for a while. i know the remote is supposed to lose some calibration when you swing wildly, but i wasn't swinging too hard or wide there, and that's pretty much how you have to swing for the bamboo cutting game.

i don't know where my motion+ dongles went so i can't test a different remote, but this remote worked fine for red steel 2 and WSR. it also works for the bow and beetle and everything else but the swordplay.
