2:16 I tried explaining this to a speed runner I watch on twitch, but he didn’t understand what I meant. What’s nice about this is that you can keep your aim in the relative middle of the screen, and use the stick to do your big movement toward the target. That way, you don’t have to move to the edge of the screen, then waste time moving your aim back to the middle of the screen/away enough from the edge to have it stop turning the camera. It’s sort of small, but for speed running, it could save a few precious seconds

[@nthgth]

This. This difference is apparent in other games and even things outside of video games, and it's very important

[@Keanine]

Even outside of speedrunning it is a small thing that makes a big difference to your quality of life while playing. The old version had a lot of little things that ended up making it a frustrating experience, but this versions cleans up a lot of those smaller issues

[@matonphare]

I prefer the old credits for one reason : 9:05

[@elli_senfsaat]

The Legend of the Best Guy Ever to be President of Nintendo

[@AbeM.]

He’s still in the credits of the new one, earlier. Edit: @ 6:52

[@BloodRedFox2008]

Like Abe said, Iwata is still in the credits during the "Skyward Sword original staff" section (so far every Nintendo remake or remaster has a section dedicated to everyone who worked on the original version, like I'm pretty sure the 3DS remakes of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask still have a credit for Hiroshi Yamauchi, the president of Nintendo when those were originally made).

[@Baoulettes]

In the feeling ! Thank you.

[@Mari_Izu]

@@BloodRedFox2008 Yes, Ocarina of Time 3D even has a entire new and separated credits screen for the remake's staff, after the scene where Link and Zelda reunites as children.

[@chessycopter9619]

I’m sad to see this series come to an end but it was awesome while it lasted!

[@hystericalpeanut2844]

Although it lasted 2 Months.

[@Lyle_Plays]

This series was tons of fun to watch! Thank you for all the videos :) I was never able to complete Skyward Sword because I had to go to high school and the workload was a lot, but with this Switch remake, I feel like your videos were able to make my experience of playing this game just a little better (since you pointed out so many tweaks added to the HD remake), so thank you for that as well! :D

[@radishesonmars9309]

Loved this series! Using the end credit scene difference as the final subtle difference is such a bittersweet touch!

[@OmegaMacling]

6:50 when Satoru Iwata is still listed in the credits

the series was very fun to watch and made me know more about the Wii version! Thanks, and continue your work it's amazing!

[@halami2149]

4:50 This is something I kind of wish they used as a way to keep the controller centered. Because usually, you aim at the middle (aiming at the middle of the screen anyway) before pulling out an item, so it could use that to re center for you, instead of manually doing it. But I guess for consistency using Y to re center, it makes sense

[@Refreshment01]

The Wii has the correct implementation since it's more natural. But anyway, if the Switch gets updated to work as the Wii version you can still press Y whenever, so it won't cause any consistency issues.

[@obeythemelon]

4:50 This detail makes me wish there's always an on-screen indicator of where you were pointing, like the fairy on Twilight Princess for Wii. That way, my aim isn't unexpectedly way off when I bring something up.

[@notsocooldude7720]

Yea it would be nice to have that option. But also be able to turn it off for players that don’t want it

[@elli_senfsaat]

The most important difference: No Satoru Iwata at the credit's end ;-;

[@DaveRG]

Damn that hit me hard ;-;

[@probablynoctis7872]

He's in the credits still, just earlier.

[@maytheprincessofhoenn619]

Shame that Iwata passed away a few years ago. But at least he'd enjoyed his last moments on the Earth. I can hear the echoes of BOTW's credits in our heads for the honorable mention of him. He will never be forgotten. 😔

Yayy more water!!! more…just water… Also my comment on the last difference below (SPOILER ALERT) I didn’t remember the credit has poor quality on the original…I probably went to get a snack after waving the net continuously at Demise. Anyway, the remake’s credit looks amazing.

Thanks for your compilation, I really enjoyed these videos 💙

[@zipfy6]

My favorite change is that they made it more vibrant, the hylian shield on switch has just the most beautiful blue and red I’ve ever seen

[@RonnocFroop]

I feel like even though they were low framerate, the original credits were made with a bit more care. The new credits tend to speed through things a bit, leaving you lingering on the last position to make up for the time, and the camera movements aren't quite precise enough for some of the more careful shots. They also really highlight that while the remake looks way better close up, it actually looks worse far away, losing some of the beauty of the artstyle.

[@LocalContentShow]

Agree with that and the camera also seems to pivot around a lot more rather than moving like a "real" camera would. Which, to me at least, reminds me of looking at Skyloft in a 3D model viewer rather than a physical location.

[@JesusF7]

1:37 for me, the lava platform actually behaved just like it did on Wii even though I was playing the HD version lol

[@amandaslough125]

Not gonna lie, I like the smoothness of the Switch credits, but I much rather have the Wii's lighting and clouds. Actually looks like art and less like a 3D showcase.

[@TiziOssidiano]

You could press B in the wii version when climbing the rope of Beatle's shop to make the "stop" animation you can do on other ropes, on switch doing so will make you release de rope, instead

[@Refreshment01]

You forgot an imporatnt difference: Item use is mapped to the item selection buttom (ZR). In Wii item use was mapped to "A" while item selection was mapped to "B".

[@megamachopop]

You can still use A to use items on Switch.

[@WreckItRolfe]

The only explanation I can think of for 2 is that the box is the same size for all languages, and the game now comes in more languages....

[@PhantomNoir]

I will always prefer the aiming on the wii, but the are both equally annoying at times. Enjoyed WiiU footage btw.

[@MattRevs]

Wii U?

[@PhantomNoir]

@@MattRevs Yeah, WiiU, basically what the Switch ported like 70% of its games from. Example: Mario Kart 8, BOTW, SuperMario 3D World, and many others. It came after the Wii and had a lot of Co-op with the 3Ds. Its known as the best retro nintendo game emulator console to this day. Playing NES, Game Cube, Ds, Wii, along with its original games, and so much more! The WiiU game pad is essentially what inspired the Switch in many ways.

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

@@PhantomNoir BotW doesn't count

[@PhantomNoir]

@@AkameGaKillfan777 indeed it does, it was originally made as a WiiU exclusive but as production delayed they decided to have a co-release. There was lots of WiiU exclusive stuff for botw like the mapping on the gamepad and was specifically developed for the WiiU. These were later removed to make the switch equal to the WiiU so sales wouldn't bog over.

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

@@PhantomNoir BotW was not a completed game before releasing on the Switch. Even without the U.I. changes, there were still brand-new things they had to complete.

[@ntnavy1]

actually if i recall correctly at 3:19 you can do that exact same thing on wii. You just have to press the D-pad down pointing at the screen to make the game reajust the position of the gyro on the wii motion plus and the motion plus wimote

[@Refreshment01]

i don't get that difference in the sense that the problem is odd... well at least under normal conditions. There's no need for calibration in flying sections since the Loftwing probably mostly relies on the Accelerometer for control (rotation & tilt) which doesn't drift since it uses the earths gravity as point of reference.

[@ntnavy1]

@@Refreshment01 yeah it's that comes to happen but it does sometimes (original and remaster)

[@zeshi4558]

In difference 4 in the Wii version Links hangs with one hand before lifting himself up with both hands. In the HD version he is directly using his both hands :)

[@Refreshment01]

Those animations are in both games. What happens is that in some instances you get one animation or the other.

[@zeshi4558]

@@Refreshment01 Thank you for correcting me :)

[@rebornvisualministry]

Also, also, if you press Y repeatedly while pacing the Joycon left and right, you can cross all ropes and Link will just do a little dance and not tip either way...

[@SamuelBoreas]

I noticed Satoru Iwata name was on the screen a bit longer too.

[@TheYulice]

pretty sure on my wii version i could press the d-pad down to reset it just like on switch the Y

[@darksentinel082]

I feel like in SSHD, the controller drifted out of calibration WAY MORE than it ever did on the Wii. Drove me nuts sometimes while playing.

[@prettymucheverything1033]

Every time I get the notification for this I think it’s the same video but no there are a ton

[@arloncompany]

There are just a few diffrences at the Wii and Remaster. The Remaster should‘ve been the Orginal, than it never would hated for so long in the first place 😊❤️

[@gauwoof]

Gyro aiming at switch freaked me out. Was way better to have the reticle centered on Wii every time you aim.

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

Thanks for informing me on the basics of how the controls work in the remaster. I had no idea you could center the aim with Y🙄

[@King_DarkSide]

Took me about an hour to find everything for my wii, to find my copy of skyward sword and to beat my save a had. My end credits were not all choppy like that. Are you using an emulator or something?

[@epicness_gamer]

Cool

[@DB-ft4cp]

and which game is better . DOes it feel more threatening because 2 staird are flooded? is it better to read the name in 2 lines?

[@vibrantfox9563]

The problem with the Switch Gyro sensor though, is that it feels like I have to reset it a lot more often then I did on the Wii.

[@Refreshment01]

remember since the Wii has an optical sensor it uses it to detect the sensor bar as a reference point. This way it it roughly know where it's forward & adjust the controls automatically.

[@WreckItRolfe]

5:00 That really bothers me on the Switch version. With no real pointer it makes it even more awkward.

[@mymelody9378]

@@LooygiBros tysmmm

[@ChaoticHoly]

The colossal fuck-up at 5:00 ruined the Switch version of Skyward Sword.

[@DanielMazahreh]

Hence why the Wii version is still the definitive experience when it comes to more accurate motion controls. The Switch motion controls are flawed & requires constantly pressing the Y button prior to using a weapon or using the sword. Even during swordplay and the use of the item, things get messed up even if you press Y. It has serious problems & breaks immersion. Wii version is more seamless and immersive.

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

Setting down the remote to recalibrate it is immersive?

[@DanielMazahreh]

@@AkameGaKillfan777 You only have to recalibrate every time you start the game. How does that ruin your immersion if you haven't even started playing? LOL! That does not hurt immersion as much as constantly recentering on the Switch version prior to using an item or the sword EVERY TIME. If you are constantly recalibrating during the Wii game excessively, then that means that your set up is not right.

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

@@DanielMazahreh I'd say that's worse: using an extra setup to actually start playing rather than doing it along the way. And the Wii version could still lose calibration.

[@Refreshment01]

While i agree with the Wii version working more seamlessly. Pressing Y to recenter isn't a serious problem, it's just something the user should make an habit of... like for example: lifting the mouse or pressing a button to recenter the camera. Some people just remapp Y to SR on the right joycon & just instantly press it as they take an item out.

[@DanielMazahreh]

@@Refreshment01 Actually, IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. Maybe you haven't completely read my comments, but I was pretty clear in pointing out in my original comment that EVEN AFTER YOU PRESS Y TO RECENTER, YOU STILL have problems in the middle of using an item or the sword. For example, the Beetle. Even before recentering and during flight control, the controls still mess up. This is SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE than the Wii version.

[@RustedPeek]

#7 was a pretty bad change from the Wii version to the Switch. I've had much more difficulty using my items due to this change, and it has affected my flow of the game. One of my reasons why I "switched" to button controls.

[@w390i]

hey! where is Miyamoto? ???

[@rebornvisualministry]

You can reset the Gyro by pressing Y at any time... Oh sorry... I meant you MUST reset the Gyro by pressing Y ALL THE TIME....
