-Zelda WW: Whoa you guys are getting old or have been playing too many games for too often too long.
I'm 30 btw, but I had a gap of 6 years were I did not play many games, and those I played were PC like starcraft and battlefield. So I wasn't tired of anyting, even though I was a Nintendo fan since childhood till I went to college.
I think the new adult-hardcore gamer (25+) are driving this gaming era towards boring linear games, sometimes hand holding games were there is little or no exploration, very little open worlds (thanks GTA and Arkham city for their existence!) were there is little or no explanation are applauded anymore.
Which brings me to Zelda WW. It was released while I was in college, having no much interest in gaming, I thought the cartoonish style, plus my friends talking bad about it, very important in my decision not to play it, in fact I never owned a GC (my last Nintendo console was N64). Then back in 2010 I bought a Wii, and loved it, I loved skyward word, xenoblade, and all those long games!....and now I finally played WW and loved it!
Since then I can't stop gaming, I'm very happy with family-oriented Nintendo, their games, etc. My problems with them are the online and account system. Problems that everyone agree on.
Man, I hear this topic about length, and linearity over and over among my generation. Yeah we are busy, we have kids, but come on, don't be lazy, challenge yourselves, otherwise Sony and company will drive the gaming industry into boring movie-like games, full of quicktime events were there is some interaction (press circle button, now, press triangle now!...meh!) but no challenge at all! In fact even Nintendo the last 5 years has been adding ridiculous hand-holding, presumably to help casuals, ADHD people, and busy adults to finish their games!...the standrads are going so low, almost in every industry now, even in college with cheap earned grades!...
Please Nintendo, I want more open worlds, more exploration, more "boring" tasks, etc. Please Warner, more games like Arkham City (although I don't want copies of the previous games, like Origins). I only wish Rockstar would make games for WiiU!
-Agree with the VC console stuff!; It can't be forgiven, there are no excuses!: It take a couple of interns at Nintendo to do the porting of NES and SNES games to the WIiU. This is the ultimate cheap or dumb mentality from Nintendo! It probably cost very little money and it generates them lots of revenue at those expensive prices! Don't they want our money?...I think they don't wanna us to like VC or the WiiU!...wtf with all the NES games!...most of the games have aged pretty bad if you ask me! They ARE inefficient! Besides on an HD TV the NES games don't even look like and CRT...they graphics feel like washed-out!
