New Wii Zelda: Fundamentally Changed

November 28th 2009 14:11

Teaser Image

Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma in a recent IGN interview has stated that the new Zelda will be fundamentally different to previous iterations.

The Wii's MotionPlus add-on will excel the gaming experience with the swordplay and archery aspects of the game.

Aonuma said, "We're taking advantage of MotionPlus. It's become very natural – the movement of your arms is precisely reflected in the gameplay. Thanks to the technological advancements, we hope the gameplay can be more accessible to people."

Anouma also confirmed 1:1 motion swordplay.

"We're making efforts regarding the total flow of the Zelda game," said Aonuma, "So far, the basic flow of the Zelda games is you're exploring a field, you go to a dungeon, you conquer it and return to the field. We're looking at altering that traditional flow. That's all I can share, and I can't say more until E3 next year."

The E3 image, released as a teaser, shows Link mysteriously without the Master Sword. This could be part of the fundamental change being alluded to.

Leaked concept art! "Steampunk" Mickey

August 2nd 2009 00:53

CVG reports on some anonymously provided details regarding a possible Wii exclusive.

The game is code named Epic Mickey and it's being worked on by the guy who brought us Deus Ex, Warren Spector at his Junction Point studio.

As it's a Wii exclusive, it'll be using the Wii-mote in it's own special way. Sketchy details have surfaced that you'll be "painting your way" through the levels. Either drawing, etching or erasing whole parts as you go. Similar to Capcom's Okami, but probably less Zelda like and more Mario like.

What about the story?

Well for old-skool Disney fans, this will tickle your fancy. It supposedly involves "old Disney characters" who're envious of Mickey's consistent fame and fortune over the last 70 odd years, when they too were once popular.

Does Osward the Lucky Rabbit come to mind?
Well he should, look at the second picture.. that's his face right there drawn on the space craft.

Needless to say, this is all very exciting and if Mr Spector is going to continue on this surreal path, he may just have a similar emotional response from fans as Square-Enix does with the Kingdom Hearts franchise.

Watch this space for more and check out the pics below.

Uncle Pay'j

Must see vid.

Massive fan of the original. Was a cult hit among the hardcores.

This time, none of you should miss out on this masterpiece in the making. The sequel to Michel Ancel's thought provoking and imaginative Beyond Good and Evil is coming.

When?

Nobody knows.

Must see vid.
