StephanieBBB - 515 days 12 hours ago

exactly! How about working on a new IP with something that involves more slashing and shooting than jumping? Is it so hard?

You say something new please, but when has a solo mario game ever dropped below 90% on metacritic ??? How about never. The fact is mario may be overused but the games mario has on his own are some of the best games in the industry.

ffs what are u guys talking about?Super Mario games are almost all classics. Why something new when Mario IS GAMING on its best??And Nintendo dont just copy previous Mario games they always add new things to the games. Why no hate against other devs when they release sequels???

it's not wrong but it just feels wrong! you are right by saying that every installment of Mario will have something new but the sad truth right now about Nintendo's console especially the Wii, the only games making impact on it is those containing Mario and friends and that's just how SAD the Wii is despite the major success!

Wii only has a few of these overused franchises. Mario, Zelda...?

If I get tired of MGS I just pick up FF, or GTA, Resistance, or LOTs of other hardcore games.

Nintendo is right to milk Mario, but don't you want something new too?

Exactly. we know you are working a new mario. You wouldn't even exist but for working on new marios. We get that, and that is fine. The games are good. But you don't need to tell us that.

Tell us what else you are working on.

pikmin didn't fail, it did very well even though the gamecube wasn't that hot in sales, Nintendo has made new IPs for this generation but they haven't made any new harcore IPs, while we have no idea about project H.A.M.M.E.R and disaster: dod, look at the gamecube for new IPs, you had Luigi's Mansion, (very underated game) pikmin, animal crossing, eck, geist(that game could have been so much), and you also have the revolutionairy metroid prime, even though thats not a true new IP it was amazing to play, and a shame that consoles didn't adapt to that control scheme, analogue will never be a replacement for mouse and key, but this was damn good. sorry this isn't a rant at you more at everybody commenting, "oo, boring, who saw that coming" yeah, who saw Final Fantasy XIII coming? Gears 2? Halo 4 (it'll happen) the point is, sequels aren't bad at all, and the reason Nintendo uses the same characters again and again, well thats obvious, Nintendo doesn't use characters for development or story, the character is there for familiarity now, you don't play a mario platformer for mario, you play it for the game, and when ever microsoft or sony create a character that etches itself into history, link, mario, samus you name it, they will hold on to it until they are either bankrupt or need a lot of money *cough* sega *cough*, I mean 6 years down the road I'll sure we'll see Halo Kart, or Gears of Tennis, and I will gladly play them.

Personally I can't get enough of Zelda and Mario.

I think Mario made the current gen leap successfully, but I don't think Zelda did.

If Mario games that evolve and innovate like Galaxy keep coming then I'd be happy with that.
My worry is that with the change in Nintendo's direction, we won't get much more of that. (See Miyamoto's casual Zelda statement)

The Mario Formula felt fresh, Zelda TP didn't.

Now, I realise that Zelda TP was originally a Gamecube game, although the GC and Wii are almost the same machine, but Zelda is no longer epic like it used to be. Long yes, epic by GC standards: sure. Epic by Current gen Fable 2, Fallout 3 standards: no.

I disagree. The only reason Zelda didn't work well on Wii was because it was technically a gamecube game where wrist flicking replaced button mashing. That's why nintendo needs to give the next Zelda 1:1 sword fighting, otherwise, it will be idealy the same as twilight princess. If Nintendo plays their cards right, this Zelda game could probably take away Mario Galaxy's title of "Best game on the Wii so far" in Nintrndo Power.

He said Zelda *TP* was originally a Gamecube game. The Zelda franchise goes back much further than OoT.
