Nintendo: New Zelda in 2010, DS Successor Motion-Sensitive

[SomeBritishDude]

Ok, I look silly enough when I sit on the bus yelling into my DS. How the hell are you going to look when your yelling and waving your hands about?

I'll probably play it (and love it) regardless, but I really hope they put in an option for classic controllers. In fact I already emailed them about that. They were kind enough to respond, but were pretty vauge. Here's their response:

Spoiler

Hello,
I appreciate your taking the time to share your comments with us regarding the use of motion controls over classic button controls. Rest assured that your email will be forwarded on to the appropriate department for further review. At this time, a new Legend of Zelda game hasn't been officially announced, so there's no information on what type of control setup the next game might support. If any official news is announced, it will appear in the What's New section of www.nintendo.com.

Well, Actually I was referring to the motion controlled DS successor. I think the swordplay, if it's really 1:1 will be awesome.

Precisely my point

It'll be interesting to see how they can pull off motion control for a hand held.

Kirby Tilt n' Tumble says hi.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.......
Tilt n' Tumble was a nightmare, I hope they make the motion better than that. It's the only GBC game I have that I never finished.
So, I'll remain distantly hopeful for it.

As for Zelda, who am I kidding? I'll buy it anyway.

get your Wii motion controls out of my DS. I'm quite happy with the DS at the moment, and you said it yourself how are you supposed to flail about in a car?

Last year was a bit of concept art
Maybe this E3 Nintendo will show us a few panning shots of the background
2011 will actually show Link swing a sword! With music even!

I love how most people think "motion controls" and then think "oh Nintendo is making Project Natal on a handheld" rather than the more sane and reasonable projection that maybe they're doing something with tilt sensors and accelerometers.

Admittedly, the first thing for me that came to mind was a wiimote stylus type thing. Then I realised that such an idea would be unbelievably stupid.

I'm interested to see what Nintendo do with this. Unlike some people, I'm actually optimistic about Nintendo, seeing as how everything they've made for the Wii that was marketed to my demographic was a game I have thoroughly enjoyed.

 

[Pendragon9]

Oh boy. ANOTHER handheld successor.

Hang on nintendo. I don't think you shelled out the DS enough. You can still make DS phat, or DS super light, or even the Micheal Jackson bundle.

Oh well. At least the new Zelda will be something to look at.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Oh Gods, please don't let it be fully motion controlled ...Anything but that >.<

...

well not ANYTHING but my point should have gotten across: full, mandatory motion control as the only for of control = BAD

 

[thatstheguy]

I WANT THE GAME BOY BACK What ever happened to the good old gameboy from nintendo? I loved those things...

You know they could have easily called the DS the "Gameboy: Who Gives a Shit" and people wouldn't have cared. It's just a name, what does it matter?

 

[internetzealot1]

DO WANT! DO FUCKING WANT!

 

[TraumaHound]

I can take or leave the Zelda franchise. I haven't played a Zelda game since the NES days, not in any hurry to catch up on it.

I would like to see what the next true successor to the DS is. It'd be nice if it has backward compatibility with DS (DSi) carts, at least until Big N decides to revamp it by removing the DS cart slot and giving the new handheld a retinal scanner or glucose monitor or whatever is wacky-cool in Japan at the moment.

I haven't picked up a DSi yet, not sure if I will, since other than downloadable content there're no DSi-only games out there and I don't know that there will be any time soon.

 

[brunothepig]

Hmmmmm. First, yay new Zelda lol. Although, I don't want to get too excited. We were promised awesome swordfights in Redsteel as well. Though I want number two, it looks much cooler. The new handheld. Ummmm. Is it going to be like an eyetoy thing? Cause that might work. Or is it going to be like the iPhone? Either way, probably a bad idea. Although the DS touchscreen can be really cool, if used properly.

 

[smell-of-man]

I just want the option to play the new zelda with my gamecube-controller.
I'm tired of being forced to use the wii-mote

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

The only hand-held I've ever liked has been the Game Boy Color. I loved that thing, and I still play on it occasionally. This better be good.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Fuck motion based gaming.

Well, it damn well better be mandatory that all the motion games on the new handheld also have optional button controls. I can't tell you how much my hand hurts after a few hours of touch-screen only games.

 

[Fish and Chips]

WARIOWARE TWISTED?!
Yes? Oh lord, I still want that game. /cry

And Nintendo will probably nail the motion-sensor thing for handheld, however they choose to do it. I'm sure it'll be fine.

This oughta be good. please nintendo, fix those motion sensor kinks and don't bring a motion sensor plus into the ring.
