Skyward Sword Will Take Dozens of Hours to Finish, Says Nintendo

[Veldel]

-snip-

If you can already do it why does Nintendo need to change it?

OT: I would be excited if it weren't for the damned motion controls. I couldn't care less about the length.

Because sometimes in the games you would have unavoidable heart pieces? or you had to lock off a entire thing just to help ensure you dont pick any up. Just make a switch that turns em off when starting a new game or somthing lol

Example: Mailboxs in Wind Waker


The Motion controls are also my main prob with this game which is also why i dont have a wii. ah well once a friend has it il play his somtime.

If that extra time comes from Metroid Prime/Twilight Princess-esque padding, I will be very disappointed in you, Nintendo. I still have the game pre-ordered, but I will be very much disappoint in you, son (y'know, like you care).

However, if that game time comes from non-bullshit, I suppose my breaks from Skyrim will be longer than anticipated.

Twilight Princess-esque padding would still be hundred of hours less padding than an Elder Scrolls game.

Hopefully this isn't a sign that Miyamoto is turning into Peter Molyneux >_>

Final Fantasy XIII had a hundred hour playthough.

Thaaaat explains a lot.
Well, if I can get through FFXIII, then I can get through Skyward Sword. Bring it!

Now if only it was built around a comfortable controller...

Well, this is hardly news worthy, Zelda games do tend to be quite lengthy.

People keep forgetting that "story" is what happens from point A to point B, not a generalization (this case: Link beats Ganon and saves Zelda.)

TP had an AMAZING story, although the same generalization (scenario if you will.)
WW had a pretty good story, although the same generalization.
MM had an AMAZING story, AMAZING scenario, and was very refreshing after all the previous ones (and later ones...)
Skyward sword looks from here to have the MM effect, which gets me all tingly inside ^.^

Well, a Zelda game with no length is hardly a Zelda game at all. I am okay with the length, even if it will be just padding and collecting. Hell, a Zelda game without collectibles is hardly a Zelda game at all.

I can hardly beat a 25 hour LoZ game without getting bored or stuck or pissed at the annoying NPCs, I don't know if I could get through a 50 hour one, let alone 100 hour.
