Mario won't give you as many hours of gameplay but the game is excellent while it lasts and is fantastic fun.
Metroid will give you more hours and it's a great game as well but not quite as fun as Mario. Still it is a fantastic shooter but I never played a metroid game before Prime 3 came out and Super metroid hit the VC so it may not be as fun for people who have played metroid before.
I just want more of a sence of achivement in the next Zelda. Starting out with Epona a sword and all the gimicks before the plot is really layed out detracts from a sense of having to explore to find all your items as in Link to the past and OOT.
That and please just give us adult link only. I'm tired of child link and wolf link. I really enjoy being adult link and the game always seems to be at it's peak at these times.
And if Mario is any indication there is nothing wrong and everything fun with switching up to 2d and 3d now and then. Some of the best parts in Mario galaxy are the 2d sidescrolling moments. It may even be kind of fun to have a 2d dungeon or world in the next zelda. Maybe even combine the best of the 3d moment of OOT with the excellent 2d exploration and puzzles of Link to the past.
That and I would love to see Shiek again. Or a character much like Shiek. Even if it was Zelda in disguise it was fun to see the role of Shiek play out. Having a mysterious element to some of the characters makes the story much more engaging. It's what I felt TP was missing. There just wasn't as much mystery as to what was going on in the world as a whole. The elements were there but the storytelling was weaker then most zelda games.
He's on the same system as Mario, Zelda and Metroid and that alone takes a lot of attention off of other games. Nintendo has a history of putting out great systems but having on one come on board becuase they don't like the very very feirce first party competition.
Secondly rings was jut a bad game as well as Sonic's first 360 title. First impressions mean a lot. You can put out the best sonic game in the world but some people are just already going to steer clear becuase of the first bad experience. I've never heard of a franchise having a bad game on a system then selling a fair number of titles for that same franchise on the same system. Every franchise gets one shot on every new generation and if it doesn't impress it either dies out or tries again the next generation. Sonic has failed outside the handheld market.
