Shit banter I wouldn't pay much attention to it. +1 !

As long as Pikmin isn't Nintendo's big launch title at the expense of a Mario game...

But it changes Mario into Tanooki Mario, which is even more confusing. How often did the Tanooki suit appear in Mario 3, half a dozen times maybe? The leaf (giving him ears and a tail) was pretty much in every level. I'm just surprised by the popularity of the Tanooki suit that's all.

Am I the only one who remembers the leaf (racoon ears + tail) 10x more than the Tanooki suit from Mario 3?

I'm sure Miyamoto was joking, if he even said that.

I LOVE the art style of these official shots. Are there any more? At a higher res?

Not sure why some think it looks slow, I think it looks fantastic. Love the up close camera angle.

I'd love to see a HD Zelda game that mixed two visual styles together into the storyline, ie like a Light/Dark world or Normal/Twilight realm type thing. It could be the above, realistic visuals for one world, and HD cel shaded for another world that Link gets to via the usual plot device, mirror or whatever. Too fan-wanky?

Yeah I wish they'd stop using this reversed music, doesn't sound great at all. Love the flying theme, and I'm a big fan of these screenshots in particular: Looks like they've tweeked and polised the HUD, thankfully. Unless it's just depth of field or low res quality of the shot, the end of the tunnel in the last screenshot looks very reminiscent of the impressionist painting style Nintendo talked about when SS was first announced.

Personally I think this looks terrible. As messy and all over the place as Smash Brothers, you can hardly see what's happening on the screen. Kid Icarus on the NES used to be a shooter with precise controls and platforming. This looks nothing like that.

And far more scale

Bright, colourful, fun, magical looking. AWESOME.

Was to be expected I reckon. Upscaling can look very dodgy. A code name

Agreed, I'm also not very keen on the 'New' SMB art style, a bit too fluffy for lack of a better word. Much prefered the styles of Mario 3 and World.

That's a little disappointing isn't it? Or is it to be expected on a screen that 'small'?

Doubt they'll confirm anything until SS has been released, I imagine it's just a tech demo though, but who knows.

Probably just a tech demo, but holy fuck:

It's really not that hard to understand

The new console looks like the Wii, but with slightly curved edges. The main focus is rightly, on the controller

The new console was seen in the video, it has rounded edges. New HD Zelda looks UNBELIEVABLE.

Skyward Sword looked fucking awesome

Stupid gametrailers panning camera. Just show us the screen and stay there ffs

Not started yet right?
