What Nintendo's problem is that they have been living in a monetary and egotistical bubble. They behave as if the rest of the world does not effect them and therefor continuously give consumers things they NEVER asked for OR wanted(gamepad), and quirky gimmiks that probably sounded oh so good in their little bubble room meetings.
Heres the thing about consumers. 1)They don't want to pay for crap they don't want and 2) They are slightly smarter than they look.
Not really ..I feel like dynasty warriors may have just been closer to what a modern zelda game should have been all along...Ive watched the gameplay vids..there's awesome combat..all the zelda weapons we love. puzzles and BOSS battles... theres just less puzzling around...which is a good thing.
