Zelda Skyward Sword - Real Controls

[Helvetica]

Guys, the issue here is with your Bluetooth Adapter, not the sensor bar.

That white wireless sensor bar is the same one I'm using, it works fine.

I just purchased this today. (TRENDnet Micro Bluetooth USB Adapter Model TBW-107UB)

I am happy to report that the improvement with this adapter over my old one is unimaginable.

The game is finally playable, with almost the exact same sensitivity as when I play it on the Wii. All the sluggishness is gone, I went around fighting Bokoblins and Skulltulas, they dropped in seconds this time, rather then minutes. I went and fought Ghirahim immediately after, and this time I had no trouble defeating him at all. All my swipes are accurate, I can sword spam with my angles still being tracked, and the IR pointer is a lot smoother as well.

The only thing that hasn't seemed to have changed is bird controls, although it works fine now that I've gotten used to the rather low sensitivity. I play sitting back in my computer chair so angling the remote downwards is harder for me than it is for those playing standing up or at an upright angle. Also, tightrope balancing seems to be much improved, if I fall off a tightrope, it's because I told the game to. In general, it's just like playing on the Wii, except with 1080p. I'm glad that this is how I'm going to remember my first playthrough of this game. All the older Zelda games feel like they were in HD when I first played them, but that's because of standards of the time. The Wii is not in line with current standards, so it's a godsend I don't have to deface my memory of this with that awful resolution.

As far as emulation, I have noticed almost no problems whatsoever, although the music in the first temple seemed to play twice at some points. Strange, but nothing hard on the ears, and it didn't happen often. Besides that, I see no emulation problems at all, completely identical to the Wii experience sans the graphics. Some people say the game freezes at certain points later on, but I have yet to encounter that, and I'm sure it's nothing a quick revision swap can't fix.
