Did you know that Skyward Sword could of actually been released last year? Well according to the latest Iwata Asks Shigeru Miyamoto admits that Skyward Sword could of been released last year around Christmas time instead of this year. The reason Miyamoto didn’t release Skyward Sword last year is because the game wouldn’t be as great as it is now, they spent six months making the game while it took another six months just to fine-tune it. Jump inside to view the rest of the reason on why Skyward Sword wasn’t released last year.

If we’d only been thinking about what was most convenient for the company when we made this new game The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, we probably would have put a half-finished product on sale last Christmas by saying that we have managed to make it on time just because it was the order from the company.

We spent six months making the game, and another six months fine-tuning it. Because the game we were making was so huge, we needed to work that hard on it. Otherwise it would have felt like a waste. We spent so much time making a really good game and it came out so well that it would have been a waste not to make sure that it was really polished.
