Just in case you were wondering, this is footage of the Wii version. It’d be tough to make this game look ugly on any console!


Spike TV has finally sent out the full list of nominees for the 2011 VGAs. Categories include “Best Wii Game” and “Best Action Adventure Game”. Zelda: Skyward Sword is nominated in both categories, as well as “Best Motion Game” and “Game of the Year”.

Additionally, the company has announced that the Zelda series will be the first franchise to be inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame. It will receive “a special tribute” during the awards show next month.

The full list of nominees can be found after the break, along with the official press release.


The latest issue of Famitsu contains an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, who talked all things Skyward Sword with the magazine. Miyamoto discussed the game’s lengthy development process among other topics.

Interestingly, Miyamoto said that he had hoped to limit the development time for about three years. Although it took five years, he feels that the team was, in some ways, able to meet his goal. That’s because roughly two years were spent experimenting, while the other three were used for concrete development.

Miyamoto’s full responses can be found after the break.
