REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Leaves won’t be the only things turning gold this fall as Nintendo prepares to launch an extraordinary lineup of games for its Wii™, Nintendo 3DS™ and Nintendo DS™ game systems. At a recent meeting of GameStop retail store managers from across the United States, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing Scott Moffitt revealed new details about upcoming Skyward Sword:

A special limited-edition The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword bundle containing the game and a gold* Wii Remote™ Plus controller will be available when the game launches on Nov. 20.

Also for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, every copy in the initial production of the game will come packaged with a special music CD featuring orchestral arrangements of select songs that will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert.

The limited-edition gold controller bundle for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be offered at a suggested retail price of $69.99. The game will also be sold separately at a suggested retail price of $49.99, though the gold controller will only be available as part of the special bundle. As an additional 25th anniversary treat for fans who purchase the game early, every copy in the initial production, whether sold by itself or as a part of the limited-edition bundle, will come with a free CD featuring select orchestral arrangements of iconic music spanning the history of the franchise which will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert performances in October 2011.

*Note that the gold controller will simply be gold in color and will not contain any actual precious metals. Sorry.

Side Note: DON'T GET A SEPERATE WII MOTION PLUS FOR THIS!!! This way is actually cheaper. Even with pre-owned. Weird.

Darn, I was about to post this.

I hope I can get the bundle as my preorder (I've had it preordered since late 2009 or early 2010.)

Exactly why I wait to pre-order.

I guess I'll just have to talk to the guys at my local GameStop about it.

You've preordered a game that far in Advance? That's crazy.
OT: I'm so badly getting the Bundle. I need a third Wiimote for my family so we all can play Kirby's new game together.

This is Zelda we're talking about. I'd jump off the side of a building if it meant getting this game.

LOL

Anyways, I don't have motion plus, so I'm buying this. Did you know that it's cheaper it get this bundle then to get a seperate white Wii Motion Plus accesory?

I was not sure if I was going to get this game due to other games being released this year but now that it comes with a CD and paying an extra twenty dollars to get a unique remote I think I will be getting this on release day.

The CD is only for pre-orders.

Wait a second. WHY NO GOLD NUNCHUCK!?!?!

Me don't know. I guess you can just paint over your white nunchuck? XD

That Wii Remote looks beautiful. It makes me want to pre-order 4 copies of the game, so I can get four of them. >.>

Thought I should drop this image here, by the way. Nintendo sent it to me, and it's super high resolution.



EDIT: Found four more images on Nintendo's press site. Enjoy.

You'd think they would have a gold Nunchuck and jacket(who am I kidding, no one uses the jacket) to go with it.

I can't wait for this, had my pre order since the GDC. I thought I'd post this over here as well, this is the rumoured European standard box art (Although it's highly likely false since if it's European the triangle in the corner would be green :/)

This is the special edition box for Europe,

Skyward Sword got the same age rating as Twilight Princess.

I saw this on Deviant Art a few weeks ago. It's fake.

So today I got my pre-order in for the Gold Wii Remote/Skyward Sword dealie, and I just have a question. Does anyone know if it's coming with a Gold Wii Jacket of some sort? Seeing as it's their standard to include one with Wii Remotes.

[Andy]

The only pictures I've seen so far have it in the standard white condomjacket. But does anyone really use those things? all mine ever do is make my hands sweaty.
