Skyward Sword, of course.

Congratulations to Hidemaro Fujibayashi, he knows how to make a video game. I want to shake the hand of whoever it was that fired the TP guy and put this guy in charge.

I'm gonna give it a final ranking of Almost As Good As MM And Okami (which if you have read any of my rants about Zelda over the years, you'll know it's the highest praise I could give to this kind of game).

Also what is Hero Mode?

I entered this topic prepared to criticize you for picking Skyrim or something over Skyward Sword. Well done sir.

I just finished it also as well, best Zelda game other than OoT in my opinion.

Not sure I'd quite call it my GOTY but it's certainly up there.

In hero mode, you take double damage (and air drains twice as quickly underwater), recovery hearts aren't normally available (but show up in small quantities with heart medals), and all bosses are available for the boss rush.

Interesting... no other bonuses other than boss rush though?

oh right, you also get to keep all of your bugs/materials from your first run. Also you get to skip most cutscenes and start with all the shiekah stone's hints unlocked. Those are all the differences afaik

You won't even notice the increased difficulty after you buff up your heart count some until you reach the Boss Rush. No heart getting whatsoever, some hits (like the Scorpion's head ram attack) do four hearts of damage, and you have a max of 18 hearts.

while SS ultimately failed to top MM and maybe a few of the other games for me because of a few flaws, I LOVED what fujibayashi showed me here. he has a much stronger passion for the series than aonuma and it shows in how much more creative this game was than WW and TP, skyward sword really recaptured the zelda magic that was missing in those games. so I have to agree with you there, fujibayashi should be directing this series going forward

Portal 2 and Skyrim are both better. I think it's the third best of the year though.

Motion controls add nothing to the game, as usual. Good job, Nintendo.


I'm pretty sure you're the first person I've seen file this complaint about the game.

Coming from the guy who touts RE4 Wii so highly? They're even used for the same stuff (shooting) in SS; you should know they did legitimately add to the game in this case. Even if there was some crappy, forced motion control present.

I'm someone who's always been hard on motion controls, maybe the most critical person on this board of them even, and even I'll say that they are far from being the biggest problem with SS. calling it now, ulti hasn't actually played the game.

See, these comments kinda make me want write a full review to LAY DOWN DA TRUTH (in the form of opinions and analysis of course). Maybe I'll do that in a bit.

Enjoyed Ghost Trick and Portal 2 more, might enjoy Skyrim and Dark Souls more as well when I get around to it. To my disappointment, Zelda didn't have that strong of a showing this year. :(

God you Valve fanboys,,,,,


Go have stuff happen to you.



Anyway, Skyward is without a doubt the game of the decade. End of, there is absolutely nothing coming out the next 9 years getting close to this game. It ****ing BEATS A Link to Past, and stands with Chrono Trigger. There has not been a game I could say those words about for 13 years, and THAT game, will probably never be touched period.


Portal 2 better than Skyward. My god. SkyRIM, however, is legit greatness, and would be the GotY in most years.

Dammit both ulti and mwc in my topic. I am a genius, sure, but I dunno if my intelligence alone can counteract these unstoppable forces.
