   Ok...not to upset the Zelda Freaks here(OlderGamer I am looking at you..ROFL..just a bit of cheeky fun my old time fiend..LOL) but why in the heck does Skyward Sword look exactly, and I mean EXACTLY like Twilight Princess????

   I've been watching a ton of videos lately, because I am having trouble not buying this game, or prebuying it.

   The Game play looks great, quite a bit of new added in that department, so no problem there, and those dirty bastards teased me with a Next-Gen look of Zelda with the Wii-U.

   But the Graphics Whore in me, so DESPERATELY wants a Next Gen Zelda in the Graphics Department.

   I know its just the Wii..but surely it could look better then the last Gamecube Zelda??? Are they purposefully making it look like a Gamecube game???

   Oh...the Problems I have..LOL

   Stay Frosty my Fiends... :)

   " Are they purposefully making it look like a Gamecube game???"

   The Wii is basically a Gamecube with motion controls and a touch more power, no? :)

   I would love a HD Zelda title, but to say that Skyward Sword looks like a GC title is a bit harsh.

   Really they look the same to me. Backgrounds are kind of dull and lifeless as well as flat and just repeated in both games.

   I'm guessing you're the kind of person who also can't appreciate a movie if it's in black and white, or a music if it's on a record?

   That's how I view gamers who can't handle SD graphics.

   The game looks gorgeous, and it has tonnes of little subtle details in its graphics and animation that often gets lots in "higher spec games". Try looking beyond the surface once in a while.

   I booted up Winder Waker recently, and was blown away by how amazing it still looks even now.

   Good art design in video games is ageless. Much like the best movies or music are.

   Nope, I love a great black and white movies.."Rosebud"...LOL! Sorry reverting back to my college days of Film Lecture! And I love me a good Old Jazz LP" I see Sky's of Blue"...LOL.

   Wind Waker still rocks in my Book. I guess the New Zelda is too much like the last one in graphics for me, I wanted a Popping one. I know Nintendo doesn't want to rock the boat either.

   Zelda has pretty much done it all for me over the years, except in Next Gen Graphics, that is one Check Mark I am still waiting to make. Heck if this New one was done in the Wind Waker Style I would love that..but I think people would cry foul! :(

   It's not exactly the same as you said. Skyward have cartoonish graphics.

   Actually, I thought Twilight Princess looked better than what I've seen of Skyward Sword so far...

   I am actually saving for a Wii so I can play Skyward sword. I was a huge fan of Windwaker and this game seems to be using celshaded. I am a sucker for tight gameplay and stylish look.
