Nintendo Releases The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
mayberry42 writes "Finally, the wait is over — for European fans, anyway. After months (well, over a year) of delays, the latest adventure of Link is finally out. Reviews for the game are consistently favorable. Famitsu magazine has given it a perfect score. IGN says it's 'the greatest Zelda game ever created,' and even the best game for the Wii. Of course, some of you may have already known this, given that it has already been hacked to run on an emulator (and yes, it looks even better in HD). I would love to hear the opinions of you Europeans who've played it. Is it as good as they say?"
(Skyward Sword doesn't come out in the U.S. until Sunday, and not until next week for Japan and Australia.) While still complimentary, Giant Bomb's review goes into a bit more depth on the game's shortcomings.
Nintendo seems to have the exact opposite problem as sega, sega could make the best game in the universe at this point and no one would ever look at it (not that they have or anything) nintendo on the other hand can recycle the same old "save the princess" shit over and over and over and over again and there are a billion people that cream their pants over it.
Why? I dunno ... but I did learn to just ignore it, cause god help you if you say anything or else a trillion fanboi's wearing a green skirt and tights will cut off your balls with a flute.
