Where's my 1st Person Groose cam

Wow not much here at all! At least silencing Fi and removing the continual item descriptions aren't locked behind amiibos.

---

you say that's not much, but that also covers 90% of people's issues with the original

As long as i can use button controls I'm happy!

Im a soapbox hater of skyward sword because of how stupid the design decisions of the game were. I doubt they do enough to make me like the game, but its good they recognize the problems.

I think making the side quest line actually result in something useful and removing the padding to the game are minimum requirements, and I have strong doubts either of those occur

I didnt have a Wii and didnt want to use motion controls. Im perfectly fine with this editions solution.

I'm going to mirror Pat and say it's just like Nintendo to put out a trailer touting the amazing new features of "things every other game on the market was doing back when this game first came out"

In 2021, Skyward Sword has finally reached the standards of a 2011 game.

I'm sad this is just a slightly upgraded port, this game could really benefit from a proper remake. There's good stuff at its core but it needed far more than a little touch up to me. Like how did they not revamp the sky stuff, or at least speed up the flying! Ah well, at least the controls will work. Hopefully they made them fun >_>

Though they still locked 'fast travel from wherever you want' behind an amiibo!

I never posted my Skyward review but I have a LOT more problems with Link and Fi's Super Happy Fun Fetch Quest Adventure than what was addressed with this. Solving Fi's obnoxiousness, the slipshod motion controls (that didn't even recognize what you were doing half the time) and constant need for calibration, and annoying item description pop-ups is a good start. However, those don't resolve the pointless fetch-quest padding, the need to fly everywhere, the terrible writing, the amount of Bozoblin skulls you need to bash, the RC Beetle abuse, or the lack of reason for the game to exist.

I didn't say they only finally met the standards of the good stuff, they pulled from 2011 EA as well!

I don't really like the sword being mapped to the analog stick

At this point I'm counting on BotW2 to have the dynamic with the sky islands that SS should have had from the start! I was expecting something like WW sky islands + classic Zelda overworld instead of a glorified hub. Seems like BotW could do that while having more flexibility than a straight remake.
