Miyamoto: New Zelda Wii Game "Not that radically different"

I'm pretty sure he means that it won't be set in the future, have any ridiculous controls, or have some really old Link ((he looks only slightly older. Like, 18 or so))

I highly doubt they would mean the story or getting rid of some Zelda trademarks (not meaning the formula. They should do something about that. But it does need to have some kind of plot twist at some point.)

Well, I trust Miyamoto to deliver an amazing video game experience. I don't know about all of you, but he's never let me down.

I've never been let down but I also haven't been 'lifted up' since Super Mario Galaxy.

When he said THAT different was he referring to somthing the interviewer said?

It...just says "how different will Zelda Wii be when compared to other Zelda titles? " But their sourced link didn't say anything about the question. Geez, I need to get this magazine.

the people at Nintendo's creativity just died after OoT.. well actually now they are just using their creative juices to milk the ultra casual crowd, with Wii's clumsy wiimote, they are giving us a 20$ addon so that the wiimote would do what it was supposed to do all along...

Now you tell me where Nintendo promised 1:1 motion before they announced WM+.

Sounds like your "hardcore" fantasies running wild.

MM wasn't creative? O.o It's probably the most out there for the series...along with Link's Awakening.

Beat me to the punch, I'd even go so far as to say that MM was one of the most creative games ever, biggest surprise too.

Anyway, as long as they change somethings such as difficulty, story and hopefully change controls to use WMP in a good way I'll be happy.

Like:
"I don’t think it’s going to be THAT radically different..............."

Because if he means we're getting another piece of **** (exaggerating for dramatic effect, though it was quite disappointing) like Twilight Princess I will never forgive him (also slightly exaggerated, though the sentiment is there).

I'm with this guy, Twilight Princess almost killed Zelda for me. It was such a disappointment, so much wasted potential and it all felt very incomplete.

I just want a Zelda that's worth the wait already, the last game I enjoyed in the series was the Wind Waker.

I'd be up for another Zelda as crazy and packed full of stuff to do and secrets like Majora's Mask, but Nintendo keeps aiming for this demographic to appeal to everyone so it probably won't happen. My expectations in this new game are pretty low for the first time ever anticipating a Zelda game. Of course I'm aware that we know nothing about it, but TP left such a sour taste in my mouth it worries me if the next Zelda will even be worth the wait.

Size of appeal isn't some sort of barrier to amount of content...

And TP was on the GC, and the Zelda and Mario games on GC were... good, but slightly disappointing.

There's no evidence that Z-Wii will be bad.

I didn't say it would be bad, but I'm not expecting a Zelda as crazy and fun like Majora's Mask ever again. Nintendo keeps aiming to make Zelda appeal to ANYONE who picks up the controller, it's been dumbed down in difficulty to make it easier for more people. Twilight Princess was almost the nail in the coffin for me in terms of seeing any actual challenge in a Zelda game ever again.

You are right, there is no evidence Zelda Wii will be a disappointment, I even said that, you can't blame a guy for feeling a little worried because of Nintendo's recent less than stellar performance in pleasing the masses like it used to back in the day, or maybe I'm just becoming more senile? The quality in recent Zelda games have a very lack luster quality to them that I find hard to complete them sometimes.

Dude, O, that sig makes me grimace.
I mean, honestly, what makes you think that's ok?

Difficulty =/= Fun.

Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy proved that.

I don't expect much in terms of difficulty, but I have high expectations for Z-Wii's presentation, audio, graphics (for the Wii) and GAMEPLAY!!!

What did I tell you?

And incidentally, Double A, difficult can increase the fun. One of my main points of criticism about SMG was that it was far too easy, and I never felt pressured, which reduced the enjoyment, and yes, fun, somewhat. Take a series like Metroid. One of the best parts in say, Metroid Fusion is when Sector 3 is about to blow and you are given a timer to get there. You're pressured, if it's your first time through and you haven't adjusted to the new gravity after Super Metroid, and it's amazing.

Maybe I'm not much of an adrenaline person, coz I hate timed levels.

Yeah Miyamoto has talked about first-person Zelda a couple times. And yes at GDC 2007 they showed a demo of Twilight Princess running as such, but Miyamoto said it was only an experiment. He has admitted that he has always loved the concept of a first-person view used in adventure games, because it makes the player feel like they're in the world. Coupled with WM+...? Who knows.

An interesting bit of trivia: Retro Studios was originally planning to made Metroid Prime a third-person shooter, but Miyamoto stepped in and personally suggested that it should be first person, against the wishes of Nintendo's EAD team. Many of the problems that they'd been having with the game (as Rare had had on its recent 3rd person shooter, Jet Force Gemini), such as aiming accurately and following enemies, were eliminated by this change.

Some people believe that Rare was on track to produce the first 3D Metroid game, but their difficulty with Jet Force Gemini caused Nintendo to lose confidence, and may have ultimately contributed to their sale to Microsoft.

Okay, I'm sorry, but Miyamoto, now is your time to GO.
I think a lot of Zelda's stagnation is coming from him. He was amazing while his reign lasted, but now....I dunno.

He's the one who kept TP from blossoming into something great, in a sense, and his favorite Zelda was the one HE didn't work on.
Give the reigns to Aonuma, fully, for a change and see what he can do, please.

And didn't he say that TP would be the "last TRADITIONAL Zelda we'd see in a long time"?

I'm kinda scared, y'all. :/

EDIT: And your sig made me LOL, O. That's pretty good.

What the hell is wrong with TP honestly! It's much better than MM IMO and beats, just barely, beats WW IMO! Stop bashing something you wanted!

Are you being sarcastic, just out of curiosity?
