This information comes from the Official Nintendo Magazine…

“One of the reasons we’ve chosen the art style we have with Skyward Sword is that it is a better vehicle to showcase the exaggerated characteristics of some of the characters. Not only of the enemy characters, but as a representation of the sword spirit itself. Because of the way we have put the game together you have to focus on how the enemy is carrying their weapon, and there are a couple of different ways you can go about that. One, you can be super-realistic, and the other, not so realistic. We thought that because we want to highlight the swordfighting combat, we have to exaggerate the features. We thought that the art style we chose was best-suited to do that. You have to match the art style to how the game plays, and we thought this worked best. We matched the artwork so that we can highlight the over-exaggeration in the gameplay.” – Eiji Aonuma

At first, I wasn’t really sure what to make of Skyward Sword’s art style. However, I’ve warmed up to it quite a bit since the title was announced. One reason for that is due to the image above – It looks very nice, don’t you think?

“When launching a new IP on a platform that is dominated by nostalgia giants like Mario, Zelda and Metroid it’s very easy to become overshadowed by the imminent release of the next big sequel…especially when we have no real budget to market the title. Also, the release lineup for the Wii has been so intense this year, that it’s been a challenge to capture gamers’ attentions. When we’re constantly seeing new trailers for Metroid: Other M, Epic Mickey, Kirby’s Epic Yarn (aside: what’s with all the ‘epic’ this year?), it’s hard for the little guy to get the spotlight. I also think we had a bit of a bad start at E3 last year when we unveiled the game before it was really ready to be shown.” – Frozen North CEO Julian Spillane

Like I said yesterday, there’s really a lot to look forward to with Flip’s Twisted World. I’m a huge fan of platformers, and this one has quite an awesome gameplay hook when it comes to offering something unique. I really hope you all check it out and at least consider a purchase, because I’m sure it’s going to be a blast to play, even if it doesn’t sell all that well. But hey, there’s still hope, right?

“It’s been very positive. We’ve had two great recent previews in Nintendo Power (April 2010, July 2010) and the latest hands-on previews have been coming in positively as well. After E3 2009 we really took a lot of the comments to heart and did our best to improve the areas the gamer community thought were lacking.”

Reggie on the strategy behind revealing a ton of content at E3…

“Well, a couple of things. First, even with all that we revealed, we describe only the surface of product that’s coming out over the next, call it, nine months. So there is a lot of content coming on our systems, which is great. In terms of our strategy for this show, because we’re in such a fortunate position of having so much great content, and 99% of which is coming very quickly, we were in a very enviable position to be able to share it all, which is great.”
