Do you think the New Zelda may be a Mature Title like the new metriod?

1)Could the Zelda series handle going in that direction?

Nintendo is very hush about this title and said they cant reveal any information at this time.. With the direction they are taking Metriod it wouldn't surprise me if that is the only title they are revamping for more adult gamers

2)Will these adult style game sell as well? Specifically Zelda if it is in fact a more mature game?

3)Thoughts on the possibility..good or bad..?

until we see a trailer at least it's hard to judge. twilight princess had quite a dark look to the game, but kept the same zelda gameplay. with the implentation of wii motion plus, and it may be a necessity they may change the gameplay up abit, but we'll see.

i doubt they'll make it god of war style with people getting heads chopped etc.

zelda's have always been 12+ in the uk, so a 15 might make it little less accessible, but gta's 18 rating doesn't stop kids. i think it will sell pretty much the same.

I dont think so because nintendo have always tried to keep the zelda series open to all ages and i think they well keep it open to all ages as long as the zelda games are going.

This is the program, they shouldn't be trying to make the new Zelda appeal to a wider audiance which is what Nintendo are obviously going to be doing with the next Zelda judging by what I read in the interview with Miyamoto. It's inevetibly just going to ruin the Zelda experience when you dumb it down and make it easy for casual gamers. Make a Zelda game for Zelda effing fans, I really couldn't care less if it's mature or not. Adult Link who cares. Just improve on the old ones and don't dumb it down for stinking casuals everyone will be happy.

The visual styIe is TP-ish. And Link will be older. So i think so.

Zelda is a complex series of games, how is that not mature?

Every Zelda has 'good guy beats bad guy', while at the same time there is a hidden level of complexity in the characters that children cannot see. So to me, Zelda is mature while at the same time being playable by children. E.G. Why are there so many Zelda's and why are they always fighting the same Ganon? Sure someone could say, "oh the stories aren't linked so your point is invalid", but many of the stories do link, certain Zelda's link to others, etc. And stuff like, the Princesses are always being named Zelda because of a law years ago.

So is Link actually winning? Because Ganon seems to always exist is one form or the other (whether as Ganon or Ganondorf, as a beast or as a Gerudo), and it is proven that it is the same Ganon.

Well the Metroid games have always been kind of mature, this new one just seems to have a lot more action.

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]How is the new Metroid any more or less mature? The last Zelda was very mature. People STILL complained. wv06

Sure,if they want to completely alienate much of their fanbase and get less sales.

No i dont, just giving a example of the team.. By mature I mean a grown up Link, not as childish comedy, more adult dialog such as FFs or other RPG type games etc.. I know TP touched on some of these apsects but I still would consider it a game made more for people ages 12-16wv06

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="wv06"] The new metriod coming out is being co-developed by the team behind Ninja Gaiden, (known for bloody action, such as decapitation and limbs cut off).. Although i doubt this Metriod will show blood they said Team Ninja is not only helping with creating more action but also to make the game more of a adult titlewv06

I wouldn't mind at all, a Zelda game regardless of it's rating will still sell.

I'm very excited for the new Zelda but I have a BAD feeling about it. This is a "new" Nintendo we're dealing with here. I'm tired of them tyring to revolutionize everything. The key is evolution, not revolution when it comes to working on classic franchises. They need to keep with the same formula as the foundation and just improve on that. I wish they'd stop tying to make crazy, wacky changes to everything. Zelda is about adventure and puzzle solving in great environments. I'm afraid their going to try something stupid as hell like make it a FPS action game. :?

Gee, I don't know. How about SMG? That much of a change still works with a light hearted game like mario. Such a degree of departure will not with Zelda, IMO.Pirate700

Yeah i also dont want the next zelda to be like that.

But i do want the next Zelda to have the level of sophistication MM did. I really wish people talked about what this game does more (i know i know its old). MM dealt with themes that no game has ever touched. It truly is the most dark/morbid/surreal game ever. I would never want Nintendo to make a MM 2 but i really do hope they do something as radical as it.

In a word 'No'

nothing has been wrong with past formula's (i loved the art for Wind Waker, gameplay wise, it was a bit too easy).Twilight Princess was fine for me,a more mature game wont increase sales. I'd like to see more challenging puzzles over a bit of blood or gore.

All I'm saying is they better not make this some FPS or an action game. Zelda is supposed to be kind of "slow" as it's about the adventure and the puzzle solving. It's been that way for 20 years and I wouldn't be surprised if they ruin it this time. They'll probably have him cutting off people's heads, and wall running and doing all kinds of weird crap. The only comforting part is he acknowledged in his conference that he knows the fans want the game to be simple so who knows.

I hope they use a different gameplay formula, dungeons just aren't fun for me

Zelda games have always received age ratings of 12+ in the UK, so a 16+ rating might make the new Zelda game a little less accessible, but GTA's 18+ rating doesn't stop kids from playing it either. I believe that it will sell pretty much the same.

why is metroid another M anymore mature then metroid prime 3 corruption
