Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

The Gametrailers review just confused me. They basically tear it apart, have very few good things to say about it, but then they still give it a 9.1

That's an issue I have with a lot of their reviews.

Sometimes the content doesn't really match the score they end up giving it.

Even IGN point out some issues and still threw a 10 at the game. Most reviews across the board admit that having to recalibrate the controller is annoying and an issue that you never had to put up with in the past. I don't doubt the awesomeness of this game, but reviewers hand out 10s like hotcakes these days.

Reviewers need to do what Yahtzee does or something...only less meanly.

Oh yeah, that I don't get either, but the defense is always that a 10 doesn't mean a game is perfect.

I really think the whole gaming scale is a broken mess.

That's what I was going to point out, that defense. I think the reviewers have an idea of what they mean by a ten and the audience doesn't even have that. The opinions on what is a ten that I've read from forum users varies considerably.

I noticed how cheap the normal edition of this game is. It will go for €40 and even €35 next Friday. Normally games like that are €50.

So I'm hoping that the collector's edition will also be a bit cheaper... currently my store lists it as €70, but they already said they will drop the price if other stores (Mediamarkt) do it.
€35 extra for just a golden WiiMote+ is a bit much...

Woah, I can pick up my copy a day early. (Edit: that means right now.)


But I have so much to do before I'll have time to play.

Awe, this game is getting me so emotional, more than it should!

Controls are great, flying is great, story is great.

I'm going to have to wait at least two weeks before being able to play it.

Does anyone have any info on being able to get it in the USA a day early? I have it pre-ordered from Gamestop (not some thing I normally do)

Some scatter that some Wal-marts are selling it today, but not much else.

[Jason1]

Wouldnt Nintendo be upset if Wal-Mart, the biggest retailer of them all, starts selling their game a full 3 days before they are suppoused to?

[Blix]

Well a kmart sold MW3 before the launch date and someone bought it and sold it on ebay for 1,400+. I don't think it was every Kmart, it must have been one Kmart. The same thing could happen to Walmart. One idiot employee or manager doesn't know the release date and puts it on the shelves. That's my two cents.

[Storm Eagle]

If it's supposed to come out on the 20th of this month, the Nintendo World store in New York City is having a special event a day earlier than that where people will be able to buy the game.
