It looks as though we will be getting a more than welcome Summer of Zelda theme sale in the coming months. The information was spotted on the mobile version of the eShop and presumably wasn’t meant to go live quite yet. A safe bet would be the addition of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii U eShop. I’m sure we will get more information regarding promotions in the coming weeks.
Ye
I got them all except for triforce heroes.
If Skyward Sword doesn’t get touched up or an HD update, I’m not playing it again. Which is ashame, because I actually thought it was a lot of fun.
What was Nintendo thinking making a Zelda so far at the end of the Wii’s lifecycle, in a gaming environment that already accepts HD as a standard, in Standard Definition? They should have at least co-developed HD assets for the game to allow a version that doesn’t look horrible on HD tv’s. Dumb.
Kinda thinking that there will be no more console exclusives just dual releases and ports, the nx might get Zelda wiiu. The next Zelda after the wiiu one that is planned for nx will be also ported to the next console at the end of the nx’s life
ok
Well, if you remember correctly, Skyward Sword was delayed at the least 18 months. So it was intended much sooner in the Wii’s lifecycle. It’s also like they couldn’t have done anything HD, as the Wii did not support HD. So literally the only thing they could have done was not release it on Wii (and piss off fans) and have made it a launch title for the Wii U (which would have delayed at least another 12 months – and further piss off fans).
The Wii shouldn’t have been at the low resolution it was anyway. And Skyward sword was such a big step for them. I loved the scenery, and it was the first fully orchestrated Zelda game.
They should have planned an HD version and not let it suffer the sub-par curse of the Wii. Pretty bad when Skyward sword only looks nice on an older TV that you’d hook your N64 or SNES on. :(
Definitely agree with you. The Wii should have been much stronger, and not a modified GameCube. Granted I don’t think it needed to be on par with 360/PS3, but at least, have been at 720 instead of 480.
Advocating the devil here, the Wii needed to be that weak to keep its price tag low. It wouldn’t have been the massive success it was otherwise, and that cash patched some holes left by the N64 and GameCube. Think of it as a necessary evil.
Besides, I don’t think Skyward Sword looks any worse than your average 6th gen 3D game.

I really should proof-read before posting

Could this be foretelling some good news on a new console game?~
My thoughts exactly. Hopefully this is intended as a Zelda U pre-release promotion.
oh the classic: “oups you guys were not supposed to see that now” give me a break it was intentional and smell the “let’s make a buzz by teasing the fan”….
Maybe that’s when they’ll release Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks in the NA eshop
I’d be happy with just a Wii port of skyward sword. It’s the only Zelda game I haven’t played and I don’t feel like picking up the disk for 40+ dollars. HD would certainly be nice though
I agree 1000%. I haven’t played SS, and buying on Amazon isn’t ideal for me. I want a digital download on the eshop ASAP.
