Re: Skyward Sword, thoughts so far?
So I just checked, and you DO need to use the pointer to play Skyward Sword - but not how you would expect. You need to point at the centre of the screen to calibrate when you first start playing, but after that all of the weapons and items use motion plus for aiming. I wonder why it even makes you use the pointer for calibration at all?

I do have problems with the calibration screen. The pointer is very jumpy and doesn't recognize the A button until I press it multiple times. I wonder if it's because I'm 10-12 feet from the TV? I'll have to try moving closer.alienjesus wrote:So I just checked, and you DO need to use the pointer to play Skyward Sword - but not how you would expect.

Otherwise, the game works just fine for me.

Do you mean on the google vedor reviews? I don't want to leave it on the product page, as that is supposed to be about the item. I tried contacting their customer service, and they were worthless via chat. I made a phone call and they were better about it. Still freaking pissed.o.pwuaioc wrote:Leaving negative feedback, right?equalsign wrote:Got dicked by Amazon. No bundle for me.

I got the last bundle from toysrus.com. Not sure if they'll ever get anymore stock in, but it's worth looking into. Sorry dude!equalsign wrote:Got dicked by Amazon. No bundle for me.

I pre-ordered from Gamestop and surprisingly didn't have a problem. I didn't even upgrade the pre-order to the LE package until 2 weeks ago. I guess for once, Gamestop came through. If you haven't already, you could try checking K-Marts. Sometimes they shock me with the amount of good stuff they have.ZenErik wrote:I got the last bundle from toysrus.com.

Re: Skyward Sword, thoughts so far?
I've contacted every KMart, Walmart, Target, and ToysR'US in a 50 mile radius. This has just been a terrible experience.
Can you guys think of anywhere else that might have them?
Already called the local Radio Shacks, FYEs, Gamestops, and Play N Trades.

Do you have a Shopko in Provo? Their video game selection is usually pathetic but it might be worth a call.equalsign wrote:I've contacted every KMart, Walmart, Target, and ToysR'US in a 50 mile radius. This has just been a terrible experience.

Motion+ only detects changes in orientation. It needs to know which way is forward to begin.alienjesus wrote:I wonder why it even makes you use the pointer for calibration at all?
