In NES zelda the first couple dungeons didn't even require items from other dungeons and were just further away. You could actually beat them out of order. The torch opened up dungeon 7 (?) by burning a bush and it was one of the first items out there. I found dungeon 7 early in the game and it shocked me. I haven't felt that thrill of discovery in zelda for years. Now I know that the game designers basically hold my hand to the next temple.
In new zelda it is linear to a ...
The barrel roll is the dash in SnP.
I miss Fox and the gang too, but SnP is the same gameplay mechanic with melee attacks.
"If that makes his games niche, well ok. I'd rather see the guy make games he wants to make for a limited time than churn out glorified clones of better games for decades."
There is no wm+ lightsaber game. There is a NMH 1. I love NMH2 and the original but I am telling you why the game isn't selling off the charts.
I didn't say sell out. I said make a game that everyone wants, not a small number of people. You add wm+ and the game is there.

Basically my point is old zelda focused on combat and exploring. The puzzles there revolved entirely around these objectives. Kill gandolf with the silver arrow. Got a raft - now you can explore more places! Got a bomb or torch? You can explore and find new stuff! Some of it (master sword) makes you better at combat!
New zelda has puzzles for puzzles' sake. The water temple is the best example. You solve puzzles to progress in the same area, not explore new ones. The ite...
You may be right, but spirit tracks sold 2 mil and is evidence of further progression away from what zelda once was. The break happened at OOT.
I played old zelda and it had nothing to do with puzzles. It was about killing and exploring. No overworld and puzzle mania/story hurt this. In original zelda everyone tried to keep full life cause they loved *shooting the sword beam* The boomerang was integral to combat in that game. Now they're all tools to solve puzzles. You act...
This game is made for otaku. Thank god it sells at all.
Dropping wm+ is the stupidest thing they could have done for this game. NMH sold as the closest to a lightsaber game the wii had. If they added wm+ it would have kept that spot.
NMH2 is great and I love the 8-bit games but it's made for people who think like suda. When suda makes games for everyone he'll finally get the sales he deserves. WM+ would have pushed it one step closer. Sure, suda has something...
Read my comment critically:
"The series is still very strong but even my zelda loving friends hate spirit tracks."
Did I say it was weak? I am saying that some (no quantity specified) zelda fans stopped playing. That is all I am saying and until you read my comment more precisely you will never understand it.
Do I even need to mention spirit tracks? My friends who still love zelda hate that game. Still sells well but you can tell the same r...
Mario isn't decent? GTFO. I play Donkey Kong Country still but if you're comparing the quality of those titles it's laughable.
Sin and Punishment 2 is basically star fox. I love star fox but consider that your fix.
You are ignoring a large number of people that includes myself and many older gamers who haven't enjoyed zelda since OOT. The series is still very strong but even my zelda loving friends hate spirit tracks. It may not be in decline to most people, but there is a significant number of gamers who think it peaked at Link to the Past.
Why is this posted in the wii section? Who submits and approves these articles? Does anyone here even own a wii?
This is more like Super Paper Mario. There's even the ability to switch to 3d in other M and find hidden items with the wiimote.
Also, cutscenes and story aren't in any mario or the original metroid. This is a horrible comparison.
Day 1 purchase, I will love this game. More wm+ plz.
If graphics are that important you'd be playing Crysis. PCs can do native 1080p - you're playing in lower resolution than we did 3 years ago.
Distance smooths all jaggies. Tastunoko vs Capcom, RS2, MH3, and Sin and Punishment 2 all look incredible.
Good luck aiming on your ps3, I use mine for fighting games. You can't aim with n00bsticks.
PS: Tastunoko vs capcom isn't being ported. Sorry you can't play a real fighting game. MH3 was origin...
The avatar is funny but would be better with Gizmo ;)
"i GOT smash brothers (controls are garbage compared to smash melee on cube)"
Use the GC controller?
"mario galaxy (again controls SUCK and unresponsive compared to mario sunshine, and i'm talking about even pressing button to JUMP here, also easy as hell)"
...your HDTV sucks and lags like crazy
"metroid 3 (sick of backtracking but ok)"
Metroid isn't backtracking when each item you gets le...
You'd think so too if you never saw real ones. Ever notice how telling it is that the hardcore hate a system that girls love to play? I saw we put hardcore gamer in the DSM now and save us all the time.
The sega M rated wii games outsell the M rated xbox and ps3 titles they release. Madworld v. Golden Axe. HOTD 2 and 3 or HOTD Overkill and Condemned.
"Sega analysts have confirmed a shift in business strategy after Kira83, noted n4g poster, revealed a flaw in market research. Using only the most imaginary data the poster single-handedly stated a cryptic opinion."
"They have lost their creative spark"
Like when they implemented motion controls as standard on the system and everyone said it was crazy?
"Not because I care if you buy it or not mind you. Its because I dont hate Nintendo, I hate what it has become."
This sentence comes right after you say you hate how nintendo never makes new games. Your original argument is that they don't change and here you hate what Nintendo "became?&quo...
"Because there are more gamers in Europe than in America, that's how I know."
This is the game *developers* conference.
