Sunshine was excellent. Galaxy was excellent. 64 was excellent. Bros, World, all of it was excellent.

I haven't seen any trailers or footage but, if you liked TP and WW, what's the issue with this one?

mr dave 06-17-2010 12:25 AM

the issue is that it's more of the same. it's another Zelda game.... i suppose if it's not broken don't fix it but at the same time, the series used to be known for innovation, not repetition.

You're pretty much damned if you do damned if you don't, when Nintendo actually try to do something innovative it's written off as a novelty and they're criticized for not focusing solely on gameplay quality and when they do just that and make another solid title in their franchises it's criticized for not being radically different enough. I call it the Mega Man dilemma.

I mean is God of War III gonna be that different from the previous games? Is GTA IV that different from previous games? Are most sequels?

I agree that there hasn't been a Mario game as groundbreaking as Mario 64 or a Zelda game as groundbreaking as Ocarina of Time. But to be fair it's pretty damn hard for anything to be that groundbreaking nowadays when there's so many games and premises and gimmicks that are all over the place. The gaming industry isn't gonna see anything as groundbreaking as those games until there's a huge technological breakthrough and it's made cheap and accessible for developers.

I can't blame Nintendo for sticking to what they're good at, Nintendo still has ambition to come up with something like The Wii where the graphics aren't the selling point. At the same time, too much ambition has cost them money in the past (Virtual Boy).

I do think they rely a bit too much on the big name franchises and they should try focusing on some of their more neglected properties like Star Fox and F Zero, maybe revive old classics like Kid Icarus and Earthbound.

I would love to see a Metroid Prime game for the PC/Xbox/PS3. I feel like that series has such potential to do amazing things but is limited by Nintendo's platforms.

stop bashing Nintendo and trying to turn it into some sort of pity party.

what do you think Kinect and Move were developed to compete against?

Via emulator.

I starting the last case of the game a while ago, but then something strange happened and I lost all of my gameplay data. So now, I'm slowly working my way through again.

This game receives a lot of stick from fans of the previous Ace Attorney games. I have no idea why, the characters are just as good, if not better.

Yeah, I think everyone at Nintendo would be glad you don't run the company.

I sure am. What does Metroid need that the Wii can't provide? Realistic graphics? Not what the Metroid series is about. Online gameplay? Not what the Metroid series is about.

If Metroid devolved into just another generic turd brown online shooter game with Samus reinvented as a rugged space marine I'd have to kill myself.
