Oh for ****'s sake. Anyone that's worried about this needs to learn some basic biology.
Scientists do this sort of thing all the time. It's how they figure out how the virus works, and hence how to combat it. It's nothing more than what viruses do on their own anyway (viruses mutate extremely quickly - that's why there's a new flu vaccine each year, and even that only covers a handful of strains), except for the fact that it's controlled. This way they have an idea of how it may mutate on its own.
Basic science, people. They're not trying to kill us, they're trying to understand something that if left alone could kill us.

That crazy HD video they released of TP Link toppling a giant spider with a smack is pure gameplay. Heh.If Wii U Zelda happens, I really hope they don't go back to button controls for swordplay.
Eh, it's not incredibly likely that that'll represent the actual game. The Gamecube demo ended up being Wind Waker, for example.
Still, I want to believe.

You haven't tried SS yet.
But yeah, I hope they don't go back to mere button controls for swordplay either, after experiencing Skyward Sword. o.o
In other news, seems the Ender's Game movie (2013) is finally coming together (possibly having Harrison Ford? **** yeah).

As much as I love the book though, I'm not sure my heart can take seeing a film adaption of it ;________;, since ya know, they usually end up worse.
Stuff.
Must buy copper paint. Sell stuff on ebay.
It was the potentially knackered cursor that was the issue for me with SS's controls; I am actually absolutely fine with the motion-based swordplay in theory. Others didn't like them though.
However, they did seem to indicate that it might not be the way they are going. It;s sligfhtly obscure, but when asked about Skyward Sword on Wii U, he gave a firm no, explaining:
"His reasoning is that "this game is really designed around the motion plus as an experience." In other words, the Wii's motion plus technology is so integral to the design of Skyward Sword that to jump systems would be implausible. So while we now know for certain that Skyward Sword will not be making an appearance on the Wii U's launch lineup, it should act as a great swan song for the system's predecessor. "
Now, seeing as the Wii U uses remotes, I am not entirely sure why that rules out motionplus, but it does suggest they were not looking that way for subsequent Zeldas. Still, we'll see.
