The Rumor of Zelda: Destruction of all Time

I'm a little tired of hearing the Nintendo Fanboy Frat complain that casual games are ruining the market. The latest diatribe is about the rumor that Nintendo will be making a "casual" new Zelda title based on some new Miamoto patent application or something to that affect.

Every time Nintendo is rumored as trying something new, we get broadsided by whiney little bitches complaining about how Nintendo isn't catering to their needs. And yes, they sound just like whiney little bitches we dated in high school. You know, the kind that always complained that you weren't giving them enough attention, or you weren't spending enough time with them, or listening to their feelings. Yeah, they're just like THAT.

Nothing seems to please you Nintendo nerders. What the hell do you want anyway, Zelda:Gears of Shin Megami Eternal Fantasy XIV ? Or do you want more of the same? Cause you freakazoids seem to eat up that more-of-the-same crap like it's cocaine and you find a way to complain about that too. Then, when Nintendo even hints, or someone make a rumor from an inference that they may do something different, you go ape shit and threaten to sell your consoles like a goddamn spoiled brat. As if you are the sole owners and protectors of the Zelda legacy.

TP may have been easy for some(and we all know who you are because I've been talking about your ass for three paragraphs), but some of that shit was tough. The statue puzzle 3/4 of the way through took a long damn time to figure out. The double chainhook minigame took a lot of goddamn time to finish. And some other shit I can't remember right now cause it's late and it was 2 years ago that I played TP.

I think I might be getting it now. You like your member's only club, your little exclusive club where you're the only experts. You need a tastically hard game to be published to exclude all the others who aren't as big of fanboys as you. Just make sure you cover all the bases, Nintendo. Make sure Link jerks off with his left hand instead of his right foot, and make sure every boss battle is the same as all the other Zelda games cause you can't with the canon.

Really, I have my beefs with Nintendo too, but it's times like these that I feel for Nintendo - cause I've been there. I don't want to break up cause the sex is good, but I just can't put up with the whining and the crying anymore. Then I might want you to break up with me and move on so you can make someone else's life a miserable hell. Yeah, see, I AM Nintendo and I want you to sell your ing Wii to that soccer mom down the street cause she'll take it, work it, play with it, and won't complain about a goddamn thing.

I think Nintendo's problem is that they do cater to the Nintendo fans too much. How many more Mario and Zelda games are we going to see? Could they at least pretend to do something new? (that doesn't involve a plastic piece of shit). As long as they put those out they know they got the Nintendo fans by the balls. They really don't do anything else.

At least Nintendo's games haven't become the flaming ball of wreck Sega's Sonic has become. This is why I sold my Wii though, you either get Fanboy games, Shovelware, or this new Wii Family-Casual gamer stuff.

The reason hardcore gamers complain is because they are no longer being marketed to. They are nothing but a mere afterthought to Nintendo. It always hurts to be left behind.

The Wii is terrible for them because they are still comparing it to a normal gaming machine. It is not. It is a machine designed and developed primarily for the typical non gamer.

Getting upset about bitching on the internet is like bitching about all the dirt you have to deal with as a farmer.

I hear you, to a degree, but there's solace in the fact that folks here, including us, are in the minority.

We are really happy with our Wii. I'm addicted to Animal Crossing of late. I'm not hardcore in the sense that I don't have 5 hours a day to spend on games and I don't finish games in a week and then need a new game, but I like all kinds of games. It's just that I only get 1 to 2 hours usually per day to play games, sometimes none, and I get even less time with games rated higher then E because I have young kids. I can't play M rated games very much at all because I can only play them when the kids aren't around or are asleep.

But it's more then that - I like Nintendo's style and I do like their games, and I like what they are doing for the most part, though they have their misses for sure. I really like Wii Sports, for example. I look forward to what Nintendo will come up with next and since I'm not finishing a game a week, the size of the library isn't even remotely a problem for me. We have plenty to play on the console. Lastly, when I look at what's available on the 360 and PS3, I really can't say that anything excites me with but a few exceptions. Yes, Little Big Planet looks awesome and I'm envious of that, and RB2 is better on those platforms, but the Wii version will do if and when I ever upgrade from RB1 PS2 (which I haven't played in months and never even unlocked all the songs in, so....) For now we've got a bunch of Wii games to work on and plenty ahead of us yet to get. We're having a blast with it. Probably I'm just easy to please, but there you go.

You know what's the funniest thing? When TP came out, the Zelda fanboys were claiming it to be the best thing ever! EVER! EEEEEEEEVER! And then Gamespot gave it an 8.8 review and they all flipped! Fast forward a few years and TP is nowhere near as revered anymore.

On the other hand, I do appriciate Nintendo trying new things with the series. Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass aren't the hardest games in the series, but they each tried something new, and because of that, I like them more than the others.

:clap:

you know I think Link SHOULD be left-handed. it's just the way he should be. Aside from that I don't see anything wrong with TP. I'm not against the casual market as long as we're still getting games. For the moment inspite of all the humaloo over WiiFit, and WiiSports (does the pack in even really count?) and WiiMusic I'm ok because we got Wario, Zelda, Galaxy, Brawl. I love my Dokapon Kingdom and Bully.

Yeah i think Fit was lame from the get go. I think Music is stupid and WiiSports bored me after 10 minutes of video footage but there are other games.

Twilight Princess is the best thing ever. Because it lets you install the homebrew channel. Or at least that is what I hear. No, honestly, I really haven't done it - I don't have TP yet. My main beef with TP is that it is Teen rated. Seriously. I can't play it with my kids (they are only 6 & 7) and they like Zelda games. That sucks. Why make it have blood? I just don't see the reason for it. None of the other games had blood did they? I guess that just goes to show that I'm a Dad of young kids. Maybe some of the others had blood. I don't know. Anyway, I really greatly prefer the 2D Zelda games anyway. I've been playing Ocarina of Time and I just am having a hard time getting into it in spite of all the accolades. I just don't enjoy fighting the 3D perspective. It makes the game less fun. The 2D games have been a lot more fun for me. Mind you, Ocarina is the first 3D Zelda I've played.

I don't really remember there being blood in Twilight Princess... Eh. Been a long time since I played it.

But to get more on topic... yeah, bmulligan's pretty much On Point here.

Except.

TP was still too easy. Hah!

I think trying new things is great, I'm a huge Zelda fan, but I have to admit I love the old probably more than the newer Zelda's. But that's one of the best things about video games, is seeing where they go next.

I have no issues with Twilight Princess, but Wind Waker was pure crap, imo. I was excited for it, bought it on day one, played it and could not have been more bored through a good chunk of the entire thing (game?). Went back played OoT and LttP to make sure I wasn't full of crap.
