« on: March 21, 2006, 02:23:55 PM »"Mega Man can still sells okay and so does something like Bomberman. But neither series means anything anymore. It's not significant when a new game comes out. If you miss one game it doesn't matter because you've pretty much played it. On the NES Mega Man was an essential purchase. Now he's totally optional. No one aside a hardcore Mega Man nut would buy a new console for Mega Man. Mario is in danger of becoming the same thing or perhaps he's already there."
the difference there is mega man had countless sequels before any significant changes to its formula. you cant play mario bros. 1, 2, 3, super mario world, yoshis isle. (not story), mario 64 and Sunshine and call them the same. it took megaman 3 games to charge his buster or slide (its been awhile so i don't remember). in the origial mega man series very few things were introduced to keep the games fresh and appealing. the X series had capsules and other hidden items as well as a fresh new story (i mean really how many times can wily escape and design/steal robot masters) with a few crazy twist, although some do argue that the story sucks hard.
i remember when megaman NEO (aka legends) was first announced and i was so excited. i thought it would be to megaman what mario 64 was to that franchise. boy was i wrong. that transition to 3d blew big time. i cant say the same however for x7, 8 or the Command Mission game beacuse i havent played them.
anyway, sequels are cool as long as you don't over do it in that sense. jumping from super metriod to Prime was a BIG deal, l ike it or not. same goes for A link to the past and OoT. as long as a sequel is a TRUE sequel in the sense that it not only retains the appeal of the original while adding some sort of drastic, but not crippling change to the gameplay.

"Nintendo is treading on dangerous ground with all this franchise whoring. They're already approaching this awkward niche where they're becoming known purely as a nostalgia company that pumps out tried and true franchise titles but little else. The longer it continues the harder it will be for Nintendo to sell anything new and the more they milk their franchises the more people will get sick of them and their selling power will diminish. Eventually people are going to just be so bored and tired of the same franchises that they're not going to buy them and Nintendo won't have any new stuff to pick up the slack."
I'd actually rather play a game with a well known franchise character these days soley because almost everything else is re-hashed crap that plays exactly the same because companies find a formula that works stick with it and mass produce it across the board seven-fold. i dont know about you but i cant play a new madden game every year, or games as generically boring as god of war. sure nintendo can slap a new character on an original idea and make a new franchise up but familiarity sells a whole lot better. if thats what gives them the dough to keep on making good games, so be it.

« on: March 21, 2006, 06:38:38 AM »Then you go on to call Nintendo cowardly for taking Zelda: TP, which for all we know is shaping up to be a very content-strong game UNLIKE Wind Waker, taking TP and adding just a single aspect of forward compatibility and you call that cowardly. Here is a company that is going for the gold, trying to balance creativity and the pressures of the real world, trying to do its legacy justice WHILE AT THE SAME TIME trying to ensure that it has a future, a company that apologizes to consumers when they run out of DS units or DS lites, a company that has just introduced an entirely new game interface and is taking the leap into the unknown, a company that is the last bastion against the uber-commercialization of mega-corporations like Sony and Microsoft, a company that does all this... and you call them cowardly?
-Ahmen brother. Preach on, preach on.
It'd be a sad sad day if Nintendo every became anything like Sony or Microsoft. I'll even go as for to say that i'd be more content with Nintendo dying out all together over going the Sega route. The day nintendo soley makes game for the dollar is the day i stop giving that dollar to nintendo. I"ve said it before and i'll say it over and over again. Call me a fanboy or whatever, i simply don't care, i've been a nintendo fan since the age of 3 and always saw myself as being one till the day i die. It sounds emo, i know, but its true. It was they're passion of gaming reflected in the games they created, some of the greatest of the ages, that kept me coming back for more again and again. WindWaker was rushed, i see that in hind-sight but at the time of completing it i was still blown away but what a wonderfull experiance it gave off. Thats why i think its sad that when Nintendo tries to keep its fans happy by giving a Zelda release and delivering, it gets thrown in their face because it felt "rushed". Now they do their usual routine of delaying a game to fix the wrongs of the past and all alot of you can see is "gimick this, gimick taht" and "their only out for my dollar". well t heir supposed to be as a company, but the main goal as developers, is to give you the best damn gamin experience you've ever had and make every dollar you dished out count. Thats how i see them going about this.
i don't think its cowardly at all to be the "last place competitor" and tell the world you dont want to be apart of the console war while actually trying to take away steam form a competitors launch. personally i think that takes balls of steal.

couldnt agree with you more.
nintendo seems to be maturing as a Business but luckily, and thankfully for us, the fans, they want to also keep that integrity of creating nothing short of a masterpeice with each game - flagship characters or not. I don't think nintendo is trying to Force you to buy a revolution to play zelda TP. I dont think they Need to force you. It's almost positive that everyone who posted something in this thread will no doubt buy the game, because in the end all that matters is we get a brand new zelda adventure. whether you play it on the revolution or gamecube, with the GC controll or the reVmote, it doesnt matter..you know you still wanna play this game. and remember, even if you don't have a GC and buy revolution just for TP because you were one of those people who ignorantly didnt try WW because it wasnt wat you expected, you can still play it using the GC controllers; thats what those ports on the side are for. Miyamoto didnt say that you could only play it on the Rev using the new remote.
i know some will argue that its not fair to add the fwd functionality because its a slap in the face to loyal GC owners, but i for one don't see it that way. i know there will be the argument of "well their making it so that if you Dont buy a revolution, you cant get the full experience from the game" and frankly, thats bull-plop.
we dont know yet how the reVmote will be implemented int he game, though even if you could opt to play the game from start to finish with it, that doesnt take away that feeling you get when you figure out that puzzle you've been scratching your head at for hours. Or the smile on your face when you find the Big chest containing a Bow or Arror and you hear that oh so familiar music. no matter which system you play it on or which way you choose to play it, its still a zelda game. nintendo promises this to be the biggest zelda game to date. they heard your crys of WW being to short and their fixing that for YOU THE FANS. are they out to get your money? sure. their not putting a gun to your head and saying you have to buy a revolution for zelda. they're getting your money either way 'cause you ARE going to buy zelda.
i consider myself a 'loyal gc' owner and i dont feel offended or cheated or anything. dissaointed yes, but im not going to cry over a delay to fine tune a game and add new features. i think that any real loyal GC owner will buy a revolution regardless, just because its something fresh and new. im totally behind nintendos cry for innovation and if this new hardware fails....i guess i wont be playing any new video games again. atleast not on a home console, i still have plenty of DS/GBA/GBC games to check out. still ahvea l those old favorites from NES-GC too. i embrace a change in the industry because i dont want to be one of the million who play games like GTA3 and its many clones, or boring mindless shooters.
if zelda means the last GREAT peice of nintendo software on a home console, so be it. it'll be a plast to play no matter what and revmote only adds replay value in my book

i can understand why you feel that way. i wish i had as much time to put into video games as i did when i was say 12 or 13, but sadly i dont. i knew before i bought my gamecube that life would turn out this way and knew that the only games i would get and devote my off-time to would be those nintendo titles, the only ones worth getting in my eyes. i dont feel cheated though, dissapointed yes but not cheated. business is business and i think this is a wise move on their part if it helps add to launch and not be the only reason to own a revolution right away. i say in the meantime, play something else. i only recently bought a ds, and with it im discovering a bunch of GBA games i've always wanted to play but never did becouse i didnt own one. go back and re-master that game that always gave you a hard time, add a few more titles to your library, or even go on a retro-rix and hook up that NES and see how many stages you can get thru without your game freezing and your game turning blue pink or green. or if you're really that into zelda do what i do, go back adn play every one from start to finish. hell now that i have an SP i finally get to use that damned tingle tuner!!!
my point is just wait till E3. its comin up pretty fast. if by then we don't see any solid games or gameplay...i'll be right there ranting with ya.
edit- i dont know if the above statement makes sense anymore. i am very tired and don't understand anything i wrote. heres hoping it makes sense to you

i also notice alot of you take things waaaay to personally ;-D
its cool that its your opinion but lighten up, just a lil. i'd hate to see your head blow up. i'm only new to posting in the forums, but i've read alot of good and iteresting things that all you different characters have had to say in the past. thought it was cool enough to join the forums myself, so i'd hate to see a fellow pgc user go bye bye.
i do agree that analog in LTtP would blow hard, but i dont see motion-sensing in TP the same as you do. thats just my opinion. i'm hoping nintendo will make it worht the wait though. the game will no-doubt be stellar, whether they had years, months, weeks or days to come up with the story (i didnt think WW had a bad story at all) but i want to be blown away by the reVmote in TP. If not i'll just stick to playing it GC style, no biggy in my eyes.

My thoughts exactly. Alot of you out there are making it seem as if you can only play TP on the revolution. It's not the case. Nintendo just added the option too. You all know you're going to buy the game the day it comes out, rush home to pop it into your GC and forget that anything else is happening around you. By the time you finish it, guess what!? REVOLUTION! (hopefully) Then if you CHOOSE to, key word there, you can play with the new controller. Know what else? there are people out there that might not have enough dough to spend on the revolution and more than atleast one game, if they so happen to have TP then they have another rev game to experiance. I know i almost didnt afford a game the day i bought my cube (the store i got it from ripped me off for the last one...) Does it mean that TP is going to be the pinnacle launch title for revolution? no. does it mean that it's going to be the only true 'revolutionary' experiance with the new controller, no. its simply an added option to give you a taste of whats to come. might it come off as gimicky, probably (cuz you know Ian thinks so) but its not meant to be a revolution title, it just has revolution in mind.
also theres a few post i read that are getting your facts a little confused. yes reggie said that only revolution titles will take advantage of the motion-sensing control, and yes TP is going to be a gamecube game. it seems like those two statements conflict but ya gotta keep in mind that TP was most likely re-worked to include the programming to make it playable on revolution. i hope that cleared things up for ya.
by the way this is my first post, I'm Mike and nice to meet everyong. I felt i had to make this topic my first post because lately i've read nothing but whines. anyone have cheese? (bad joke sorry)
you're making it out to seem as if this is somehow the end of the world. i like this news. sure im dissapointed about the delay, and i dont want to believe that its simply delayed just to release closer to revolution, but it might be the case. know what, instead of complaining i'll just add more to my library. i dont get to play games as much as i used to but since TP isng coming for awhile, i get to go back and enjoy some things i missed. I just discovered Donkey Konga... even this will hold me off until TP as long as i dont get sick of my friends.
