The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was put on full display just a little while ago as a part of Nintendo's all-out offensive blitz, which certainly put Microsoft's to shame. Along with Skyward Sword we got to see Epic Mickey, Mario Sports Mix (looks infinitely better than it sounds), Metroid: Other M, new Kirby and Kid Icarus and Dragon Quest, a revamped Goldeneye 007 and much, much more. Anyway, without further ado, this is the trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-zelda-skyward/101467 To me, it really gives a "Twilight Princess meets WindWaker" feel, which makes it look bright while not going too far into the WindWaker's "childish," as many call it, graphical feel. The gameplay looks exciting too, but I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

Skyward Sword makes use of the Wii motion pluss, giving you the ability to hack and slash in the game just as you do in your living room. We will post the trailers from E3 as soon as they are released online.

New Editorial

Great news! Although the editorial auto-published itself, I forgot to write an announcement about it, wohoo! Anyway, we've just posted a new editorial title The Perfect Boss Battle over in our editorial section. Check it out!
Also, a small update on our "New ZS" progress. Currently, we're awaiting the software we will be using to become a bit more stable before we take any further action. The main reasoning behind this is that we don't want to give you all a site full of bugs; we would much rather you all enjoy your time on Zelda Sages. Needless to say, however, the design is just about done, and training has already started for staff members in using the new system.
In any case, get ready for the next couple of weeks. Something tells me this is going to be a big E3 for Zelda fans across the globe!

Hold on everyone! The floodgates are about to open! There are less than thirty days standing between us and this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo! Unlike the past three years, however, we are finally expecting Nintendo to fully unveil their next home console installment of the Legend of Zelda! If this doesn't make you burst with excitement, there's more! Nintendo has also promised that It will announce the official release date for the title, which is expected to be sometime before the end of this year (at least in Japan.) Stay tuned to game sites such as IGN or Game Trailers, as they will usually stream the press conferences live. Nintendo's is scheduled to take place on June 15, at 9am, and is poised to last 2 HOURS! We will update the second we receive any news on Zelda or E3, so keep checking in!

Update on New ZS

Hi there everyone,
I know we are many months behind when we said we were going to move Zelda Sages to a new design, but I want to assure you all the time is coming relatively soon! We've put off porting everything over in an effort to continue to improve the design (based on comments from staff and our S.I.T. members), train staff, and wait for additional bug fixes from the software manufacturer. You'll also see a number of really great new features because of the wait, including Facebook connectivity! Our new target is June, which would actually allow us to launch the new site right around E3, our biggest news time of the year. So, stayed tuned, it will be worth the wait. We're considering putting up a few photographs of the new design to hold everyone off for a bit; look for those in a week or two.

DSi XL Review + New Editorial

As many of you know, The DSi XL, the latest counsil veriant from Nintendo, saw its release in the United States on the 28th of last month. I was fortunate enough to pick one up on launch, and after having been using it for almost a week, am ready to give my opinion. The DSi XL has a retail price is $189.99, though it is possible to shave $60.00 off by trading in your DS Lite, or $90.00 for your DSi (just make sure you bring the stylus and the charger) at your local GameStop, and is offered in both black and burgundy. Just like the DS Lite was to the original DS, The DSi XL is nothing more than a physical upgrade to the DSi (minus a higher brightness setting :>). The counsel has had a 93% increase in screen size, as well as an overall scale up in dimensions. Beyond this, the DSi XL is identical to the DSi. Upon un-boxing the behemoth, you will notice right away the overall size increase, as well as the change in material from being mostly matte, to being glossy on the top, to rough and bumpy on the bottom. The real treat, however, is when you open it. The increase in screen size is truly remarkable. I could show you countless images comparing the two consoles, but in all honesty, you should make the comparison in person before making a decision. The sound quality has also received a decent boost in quality and range. An issue among consumers was that the resolution for all DS games was obviously not going to be changed, so a game's screen images would be stretched to meet the new screen size. I have read many reviews complaining about this, but in my experience, the change in quality is barely noticeable. In games like Zelda, there are times where you will notice a bit more pixilation, but as far as I'm concerned, I'll take the new screen size any day. It is also worth mentioning that DSi Xl comes not only with a pre-installed Internet Browser, but three different DS ware games (Brain Age Express: Math, Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, and Photo Clock), as well as the widely popular Flipnote Studio; all of which were not originally present on a newly purchased DSi. Really, the only negatives for me are the extra weight the size increase has brought along (though this is something I got use to very quickly), and the fact that any purchased games or apps from DSi ware seem to be non-transferable.
I'll leave you with this: If you have yet to pick up a DS system and have been thinking about it, have poor eyes or a lot of on lookers, or you are simply a devout Nintendo Fan, I would recommend you pick up this beautiful piece of hardware. If, however, you are fine with your DSi and are wondering why you would need a simple increase in size, then this iteration is not for you. We all know that Nintendo just wants are money, right? I guess I'm just a sucker from the start. All in all, I give the system a 3/5 star rating.
Keep in mind that Nintendo plans to release the 3DS a year from now!
I would also like to take this opportunity to announce that I have finally posted the first part of my editorial. I know it has come rather late, and I apologize for that. But it is finally on the editorial page for your reading enjoyment. I will post the second part as soon as I can!
