The reviewer was obviously looking to ruffle some feathers and make a few people mad, but I think he has some valid points. One thing I'm worried about for Skyward Sword is the repetiveness of the franchise. I frikkin loved Twilight Princess but I could definitely see it getting old as I'm tired of going from dungeon to dungeon and fetch quest to fetch quest.

Do we all know the GS 7.5 for Zelda means something different than the games you mentioned? yes. Are we Zelda fanboys still gonna love the game? yes. But it's ok to point out some flaws in the series and hope for some innovation down the road.

Edit: I can't help but think that most of the reviews I'm reading are coming from people that started playing Zelda with Ocarina of Time. I keep reading reviews that talk about the emphasis on dungeons and all, and the overworld just being something to get to the next dungeon, but I feel like that has been a problem in most Zelda games since OOT except maybe Majora's Mask.

If you google Skyward Sword the first hit on the second page is from GBA temp talking about how to play the iso (atleast for me it was). It has a very complex encryption on it so most people will not get it working on their modded Wiis before the retail launch anyway. A friend of mine, the one who told me it was already online, said that he tried to get it going for an hour before he gave up and is just going to wait a week.
I haven't altered the CIOS or anything on my Wii for over a year now. I put it in USBLoader GX and it worked instantly. No issues so far... Those guys probably just utterly fail at this sort of thing. Wait... Who am I kidding, this is GBATemp... It's made up primarily of 3 people who know the basics and 1 million 12 year olds wanting to pirate the latest pokemanz.

I had the same issue where it would load to a black screen or not even boot at all.
The solution from what i read and found to work is you need to update you CIOS to
cios d2x v6 under clos 249 base 56 and turn on the iso reload tab in the usb loader settings.

I got this yesterday and I've put a few hours in already. Loving it so far.

As you can upgrade your weapons at the bazaar, does this make Skyward Sword the first Zelda game with RPG elements? Will this settle the argument about what genre this game actually is?
