    Was like watching a friend's drunk girlfriend suck a different guys dick in the bathroom of a club.  Personally I don't care, and my friend (Zelda fans) will make excuses that she was drunk/it was a mistake/he forgives her, but in the long run I just feel bad for him.

    Yeah, it didn't look good. I mean graphically it was nice, but it wasn't controlling well. I'm going to assume its a glitch or problem with the show.

    I just assume it's like every other motion wii game not involved with sports or called bloom blox.  Aka shits going to release borderline broken and noone will care.

    The lag between his movements and the game didn't look very promising. Also the game graphically looks worse than Twilight Princess.

    Or it could be like what Red Steel 2 is like, because the sword controls great in that.

    Yeah, the lag was bad, but as far as the graphics I think you're crazy.

    Lets be realistic though, this game isn't coming out until late next year at the earliest. They'll have enough time to improve the look and feel of it.

    I think the way they presented it was very bad, but i could see what the game would be like when i actually got to play it.

    I thought at first that he was mimicking the actions for a previously taped gameplay recording or something.

    It was pretty embarrassing. Frustrated the hell out of me. But like Okari said, this game has plenty of time till it's actually coming out, so I'm going to try and reserve judgement of the final product until then.

    I felt so friggin bad for the guy..I mean he created a lot of amazing franchises and he couldn't even play Zelda.. 
     
    If there wasn't anything wrong with the tech then Miyamoto is a huge noob!  Although I think it was broken, and it was dissapointing in my opinion..and I'm a huge Zelda fan!

    I thought it was hillarious that he didn't get those controls to work. Why not give people the choice to play with a gamecube controller or the gimmick.

    They said it was broken, and in the Epic Mickey presentation the pointer stuff looked a bit jank, too. So I imagine that it was a sensor bar/remote communication problem. People who are playing it on the floor are saying it controls just fine.

    Lol at the OP. It was more like watching your grandfather bombing at stand-up comedy. You feel bad for him and know he can do better, but there's nothing but flaming wreckage.

    I think the control glitches will be fixed, I like that he was blaming it on someone's cell phone roflao.  For the graphics it didn't look that good imo, i know its not HD but even the Mario Galaxy games felt impressive looking, the demo's graphics look a bit bland.  I'll hope its just because its a demo and only showing the early stages.  
     
    In the end I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo ends up making a really fun game, but the demo did look a little rough.

    You think they'll ever fix the glitches with nonresponsive motion controls in all the other wii games?
