Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD

@chipia Hero mode isn't available from the start. Bothers me too lol.

Scaldera in and of itself is fairly easy, but the timing of the rolled bombs can certainly be frustrating.

Other than how often you fight The Imprisoned (slow and annoying), the only boss I'd say is meh is Tentalus. Most of the bosses in this game range from somewhat decent to amazing.

Koloktos especially is one of my favorite fights in the entire series.

Already at 50.99 on Amazon u.s. fyi. Walmart has it for 49.99 in store

@NintendoByNature

Did anybody ever tell you that's a pretty cool username? Wish I'd thought of that.

@Zeldafan79 nah man. No one gives me the credit I deserve around here 😌. Thanks though! I like it!

@NintendoByNature

No one gives Nintendo the credit around here either. Nice to know there's a few of us left.

Nintendo for life!

Ordered yesterday and got that skyward sword postcard set from my Nintendo. Super fast delivery but a waste of a big box. Something they could’ve posted in a envelope.

@skywake You hit the nail on the head there Nostrodamus.

Give it to me straight, when will we see Metroid Prime 4?

Meant to hit quote, not reply

Gosh dang.

That was downright clairvoyant- some real Miss Cleo insight there.

He is our collective uncle who works at Nintendo.

Edit:

Yay I finally got my copy of the game. I've playing on the Lite and it's been pretty good so far. I love that you can quickly spam alternate sword slashes and overpower the bokoblins once you get your first hit in.

I also tried using my 8bitdo Lite, for science. It's the controller with dpads instead of analog sticks. And... It actually works surprisingly well... Though for some reason you can't roll with it, it always does the shield bash instead.

Haha, in some ways that's pretty accurate. I'm sure my niece probably talked about me at her school like that

..... at this rate?

2024. They'll go for late 2023 and we'll get Metroid Prime Trilogy next year to keep us going. But knowing Metroid Prime 4 it'll be delayed again

I'm 12 hours in, I'm in the northern desert making my way across the quicksand with the time shift stones.

I didn't play it on the Wii so this is my first attempt. I'm really enjoying it!!

I found using the sword a real pain to begin with, but right after fighting Ghirahim at the Skyview temple it suddenly clicked a bit, I'm still not amazing in battle but I'm improving!

Given my progress, I'm not sure if taking 12 hours to reach this point is really slow or average?!

@MarioBrickLayer I think you’re doing great! I don’t have a reference from when I first played the game but because I have a vague inkling of puzzle solutions and dungeon layouts (better than nothing) I’ve been speedy. I’m about to enter the fourth dungeon after 11 hours.

But keep on, this game has a lot to offer!

I'm not sure if it's just me but I think I actually found the motion controls on wii more precise than in this version. I really had no issues whatsoever with controls on wii but already have had some inconsistent tracking etc. here.

From what I hear, the Wiimote would use the sensor bar to automatically calibrate itself. The Switch doesn’t have one, so you need to do it manually by pressing Y regularly.

@msm2000 The wii had a censor bar and the Switch lacks one.

Yeah I know that's the reason it's just frustrating to see the game got so much stick on its initial release when so far at least I enjoyed my time with that version more because it felt like a smoother control system.

I'm having a blast using the motion-less controls. You could try them.

I got to Scaldera again yesterday, yep it's as annoying as I remember it. Fumbling with the bombs is a bit too slow but thankfully I don't need to stand up or twist my wrist just to roll the bombs.

Made a little more progress tonight. I’m now at the Earth Temple, having just grabbed the 5 pieces of the key to unlock it.

Wallet upgraded to hold 1400 rupees now, with all but one slot unlocked in the item pouch. Now I need to save up for that heart medallion.
