The cartridge-loading mechanism for the Nintendo Entertainment System represents one of the most forbidden with video games in history. As kids, we saved up what little money we had to buy that shiny new NES cartridge, or we waited patiently for it to become available at rental, or we even did the unthinkable--pretended to be that one kid's friend at school so we could borrow that game. And wouldn't you know it, when we finally got the game home...we couldn't get it to work.
We tried blowing on the cartridge leads. We tried blowing into the cartridge system. We tried waving the cartridge in the air like a fan, for some reason. We tried pushing the cartridge all the way in. We tried inserting it only as far as it needed to go. We tried turning the NES power on and off repeatedly. We even tried pushing down the cartridge extra-deep by shoving in another cartridge on top of the first one. We tried just about everything to get that thing to work. Sometimes, when we had a new game we really wanted to play, we were practically begging: Please, Nintendo Entertainment System...we just want to enjoy you and the wonderful game experience you have to offer. Please, just work.
Think of the resources Nintendo used back in OoT. The whole game was on a 32MB cart. All of the data, gameworld, text, etc that made the game so great fit on a 32MB cart. It's almost seems impossible. TP has over 100x tha memory to work with on the wii because a standard dvd has 4.7 GB of memory.
System Recorces. The Wii has alot of ram and processing power compared to the n64. At the time of OoT release, the n64 had a total of 4MB of ram. Thats it. Compared to 40-60 MB to the Wii it's unfair comparison.
OoT made so many innovative steps in 3D gameing that developers still use today. They practically perfected the 3D battle system, made a camera that fully worked, and made a world where everything came to life. TP just went beyond that and added touches.
Twilight Princess is a hell of a game and one of the best ever. IT is not OoT though and I don't beleive we will see a game of that magnitude for years to come.
