it is both a monkey and a boombox

This pic makes me feel anxious. Maybe because neither of them look like they've ever interacted with another human being and their cosplay is just weird enough to be offputting. Why does she have sunglasses...?

Have the great fairies always sexually assaulted link, or is that just a BotW thing? It’s deeply weird and I mash X ASAP every time.

I vaguely recall the fairies at the fountains in LTTP and LA being a little flirty but nothing more than like waitress level. But yeah they've been getting more and more crazy each game.

Hyrule Warriors looks dope, they really made another game in BotW Hyrule, even though it's a totally different type of game. I'm a sucker for Zelda NPCs and when I was a kid playing OoT I thought a game showing what happened to some of the other characters while Link was asleep would be awesome. This is gonna rule

A port of skyward sword is all but confirmed but it’s probably going to be sold individually.
There have been rumors about this since the Wii U era, and I very much doubt it'll happen. They'd have to re-work the entire game for a new control scheme. Ditto Metroid Prime 3. They baked that Wiimote stuff into those games and they're not the kind of company that throws a lot of resources at remaking things. Particularly ones people didn't like as much as the stuff of which they can just do emulated ports.

If the Joycons could act as tiny Wiimotes, as people keep saying, we'd have a re-release of Wii Sports by now.

They ported Mario Galaxy over pretty decently, I think the Joy-Cons actually work pretty well as tiny Wiimotes 🤷‍♂️

the controls will be mapped to the right stick and button presses. how many times do I gotta explain this

e: this is referring to a hypothetical motionless handheld mode (still could use gyro for aiming at least). motion controls could work exactly the same way as the original in docked mode

Skyward Sword doesn't use the pointer, only the accelerometer. That's the exact inputs that the Switch already provides. It'd be an easier conversion than Metroid Prime Trilogy. You fools.

Doesn't the bow in skyward use the pointer? I mean I guess you could make that also use the gyro, but the remaster of TWEWY kinda made me hate the gyro for the kind of precise aiming that isn't just a minor correction to the stick ala BOTW.

They seem to like that stick/gyro assist aiming combo it seems (which is good, it's the best option in console games imo) so I'd expect them to just paste it in there if they actually do make a moderate effort remake.

You literally just have to put the sword slashes on the right analog like in MGR:R. Ther'es no cuts in that game that aren't up down or diagonal.

The only snag here is that you can't replicate the feinting that you have to do for the Ghirahim fights with just the right stick.

sure you can, pointing the stick in one direction will have Link hold his sword there, and rapidly moving it from one side to the other will initiate the actual swing, which iirc is how metal gear rising works and is more or less how the motion controls work anyway. unless you're talking about something else

Sticks have an absolute position, whereas the motion control only has relative movement. That means the movement that's possible with motion controls and impossible with a stick is to feint by holding your sword in one direction and then swinging toward that same direction, from the opposite. This is also the most basic tactic you use against enemies that respond to where you're holding your sword.

It used the sensor bar for calibrating and re-centering on the fly but the bow and slingshot and everything else use gyro for aiming

I'm curious how Skyward Sword would be received if released today. I feel like most of the complaints of the controls "not working" were people confused by gyro controls and thinking their sensor bar wasn't responding the way they expected.

Well the game still has horrible sections like the tadtone poo poo and the late game stealth section, so not much better.

But that was always an exercise in futility in SS and was the reason most people hated the controls, because it always messed up and didn't read the feinting input correctly. The better way to do it was to "feint" to the right (using right as the example) and swing further right from that position instead of moving to the left and then swinging right. It worked almost every time (for me at least, and others I have read about) doing it that way. And the Switch can handle that as good or better than the Wii could.

It would be a hell of a shift from BOTW's go-anywhere to SS's total linearity too. There were things I liked about SS - the Mogma, the Beetle, wandering round Skyloft at night being attacked by those cute flappy-eared furry things in NIGHT MURDERDEATHKILL MODE, Groose - but overall it'd need a big QOL update to get me to play it again.

That's what I said. That's what you do all the time with the motion controls, and that's the movement you can't make on a stick.
