Are people really clamoring for a remake of this game?
I think people are clamoring for the breath of the wild sequel and not another remake.

It's a resetera poll. It means close to nothing. If anything you could use it as evidence that Skyward Sword is the greatest game ever made.
We can have both.Are people really clamoring for a remake of this game?

The game is literally built around motions controls. I believe them. You would have to change boss fights as well as simple enemies. I am waiting on a remake, but I don't think it's happening.
That would work for sure. Might make the game a bit easy though.
It wasn't my intention to "make them look silly", honestly. I'm the first to admit that the Dolphin solution is not ideal by any means. But I don't understand why implementing traditional controls is "close to impossible". There must be a vital piece of technical information that we're missing. Either that, or they simply don't want to do it. And, again, that's fine.
Ah ah, I can imagine how amused he was.
Especially if the switch revisions are real(and at this point its just probably a matter of weeks bf they get announced) i really cant see nintendo ever forcing motion only again. They cant expect that people buy seperate joycon controllers if said person bought a switch mini, it completely defeats the purpose of a switch mini if they need to bring extra controllers with them.Thank you for making all the doubters look silly. Of course it can be done. They should do an HD remaster with both options. They would pretty much need to remove them anyway if you wanted full handheld support.
I mean, the point of the Wii motion plus was that it largely used gyro anyway right?
Surely the joycons should easily be good enough replacements for that then? It'd probably have to be played without the joycons attached, but that's better than not porting it at all.
Unless I'm misunderstanding things, he's not saying it couldn't be remade on Switch; he's saying that he couldn't see a way for the remake to include a 'no motion controls' option.
In other words, he does seem to be asserting that the joycons would be fine for this purpose.
What does the IR camera have to do with anything?I hear a lot of negativity towards the game in Era, but I'd still like to experience it. Joycon gyro controls "sorta" work in Skyrim (and will probably be used in Blades) so I'm not sure why they're hesitating on a remaster or entertaining the thought of playing without motion controls.
Is the IR in the right joycon lacking in some way they haven't this?
The Wii+Nunchuck only has one control stick. You just map the motion slashes to the right stick.
The Wii mote + Nunchuck has 11 buttons + 1 stick
The switch has 14 + 2 sticks. Surely you can work out something with that extra button easy enough
I doubt it would be any worse than the current version. I remember constantly re-calibrating / re-centering in order for the motion controls to not be complete shit.The problem isn't that it's not technically possible, it's that it'd be a bit shit to actually play.
Good. End this stupid fantasy. It's the worst 3D Zelda anyway but they can still port it. Joycons have better motion detection and IR.
Dungeons were great in TP. Midna's the best companion in a Zelda game too, imo. But that's all the game has going for it... everything else feels like a step back.Twilight Princess is the worst. Skyward Sword is actually essential to the lore of the series. For that alone, it puts it above Twilight
The problem isn't that it's not technically possible, it's that it'd be a bit shit to actually play.
It's the same reason kid Icarus uprising won't be rerelease on switch either. You could feasibly make it playable on a second stick setup but it's a game built on the assumption you have more control.
The closest you could probably get for the sword play would be aping metal gear risings sword mode, but I still don't think it would be a particularly good fit for skyward sword.
Yeha I also agree with this. The game didn't have camera control in the original anyway so it's not like something would be replaced. Hope they consider it as an optionIs nothing the motion controls did that couldn't be achieved with a second analogue stick.
And at least that would be responsive and not desync every few motion actions.
Skyward Sword only used it as a quick "on the fly" recalibration method, so they could surely just map the same feature to a key and call it a day.Is the IR in the right joycon lacking in some way they haven't revealed?
No. It's only used to track external objects for applications like 1-2 Switch and Labo. It's not really designed for tracking the Joy-Con itself, and I imagine the lack of any known reference point combined with the high resolution likely introducing some latency makes such a use case not possible.It doesn't work in tandem with the gyros for more precise tracking and positioning (through distance) for the joycon?
Aonuma already teased it, it's coming. Just with the motion controls in their full glory, based on this interview.Good luck getting this game to work without motion controls. It was specifically designed around motion+. This is the big downside to designing games around a systems specific gimmick and the sad thing is, the game would have probobaly been better without motion controls, but here we are. Porting SS in the future might be next to impossible and the effort required might not be worth it. Just as something like Star Fox Zero or Kid Icarus Uprising, i doubt we will see this game again. Even if they figure out the motion control issues, there is still a truckload of issues waiting to be fixed with a Skyward Sword remaster that plagued the original game. Nintendo might as well not bother. The game wasn't good and if someone want's to experience it then Dolphin is the way to go.
I wouldn't have it any other way.Aonuma already teased it, it's coming. Just with the motion controls in their full glory, based on this interview.

Indeed. I just hope it releases before I graduate and my main commute isn't the train anymore lol.
