Right now, no. THe second I see a MEtroid or Zelda that blows my mind (has to blow my mind ;) ), I will buy one. Or if some other game comes that is just amazing.

[/QUOTE] if your expecting the games to be the second coming I can already tell you you're setting yourself up for disappointment[/QUOTE]

NOt the second coming, just a return to former glory. SNES did it. N64 did it. Gamecube did it. Wii changed it. Good games, not up to snuff though. I am hoping that changes.

[/QUOTE]Thats what I'm talking about, if you keep stacking the games up to those precious memories of playing the older titles when you were a kid, it's going to be impossible for them to live up[/QUOTE]

lol you think im so blinded by nostalgia, but do you not agree that Skyward Sword is the most linear 3D Zelda to date? Do you not agree that Prime 3 and Other M were more linear than prime 1, 2, and Super (and all the others)? There is no denying this. This is a fact. Is it really so unreasonable for me to want them to go back to being exploration based?

I am not a fanboy. I am not a hate. I am not blinded by nostalgia. I am optomistically cautious of Nintendo's future.

[/QUOTE]:I'm not denying that those games were different design wise but that's besides the point.

If you keep on playing the games and directly comparing them to past entries like it's some sort of exam it's going to taint your experience

And nostalgia does have a role in this. Every human being feels it even if it's in the back of your minds

How the heck is that besides the point? Should I not be dissapointed by Metal Gear Rising? Should I not be dissapointed by Tales of Symphonia 2 ? Should I not be dissapointed by Final Fantasy XIII?

What you are saying is it is unreasonable for fans of series to be dissapointed when the devs change the core of the games design. How dare I expect series to stay true to their roots! :P

[/QUOTE]it depends, if they change things up while still maintain core gameplay conventions you can't really blame them for trying to spice things up.

I mean people constantly give nintendo sh*t for rehashing NSMB but as soon as they try something new with paper mario sticker star they're up in arms

"baww where's my partners"

"baww where's my exp"

"Baww where's my badges"

[/QUOTE]

Did Metroid and Zelda NES (and future adaptions) NOT revolve around exploration in an open world? That IS their core gameplay design.

As for them changing things. I am scared for Sticker Star. It could be awesome, and I will wait and see. But while the ideas they have in place are cool, they stripped it down quite a bit too (from what I can tell). They took out the interconnected world, partners, badges, experience, and permanent upgrades and gave us a more level based RPG with stickers that you get and use, then are gone. Again, I don't know enough abotu the game to judge yet, but please tell me how this should not upset fans? Why not make the game more complex and add to it, rather than taking away all of what makes it so great to begin with?

I cannot find the quote right now, but as Reggie said himself at E3 in regards to Mario Kart 7. We want the same thing we have come to love, but with new stuff. With a twist, while retaining the core of the game. Meaning we want it to be expanded upon and improved, not stripped down for the masses!
