My bad, it’s really easy to conflate posts when you’re dealing with so many bad takes at once.

This is such a textbook example of the pot calling the kettle black, it’s not even funny. Based on the most objective measure we have, average user and critic review scores, you are expressing opinions that not many are going to agree with. Thats fine, but criticizing someone disagreeing with the notion that Muramasa is the best game of all time, by calling that disagreement a bad take, come on…I like the game too, but a 79 average user rating on metacritic with 111 reviews compared to Ocarina of Time having a 91 with 11,000. Not to mention it’s 99 critic review score. The vast majority are going to view this as a bad take, and might express that disagreement.

Skyward sword tried some interesting things, but is the worst mainline Zelda by far, in my, and the metacritic aggregate opinion. And I know some people like the Wii, just like some people like the Kardashians, but I think both made the world a worse place.
 
Yeah that was nearly two decades ago, the industry moved on from shoehorned motion controls for the most part and it was very flash in the pan, some good games came out of it, some bad, and a whole lot of shovelware but who cares the PS1/2, XBOX 360 had a ton of shovelware too along with a lot of the other best consoles.

Hell if Wii weren't a success Nintendo might not have survived at all, the N64/Gamecube flop double whammy was a bruiser.
 
If Skyward Sword wasn't a Zelda game it would have been dismissed as shovelware. We don't have to pretend that every game with Zelda in the title is a masterpiece. It's an absolute joke of a game compared to OoT, MM, TP, WW, BOTW and TOTK.

Yeezus dude, What part stuck in your crotch, the jab at the Kardashians or the Wii? Since it’s just video games, which would be dumb to get defensive about, I guess the Kardashians? Anyone that doesn’t think the Kardashians, and their ilk, have made the world a worse place, i‘d view as a fool or feeding from the same trough. And the Wii is basically the Kardashians of video game systems. So read into that whatever you want, but that’s where I was coming from. I know you can survive the joke. Star Trek warned us about them years ago, ignore its warning about their species at your own peril.

Skyward Sword was better than Twilight Princess at least, sure the bird travel thing was kind of lame but it sure beat yet another big and boring empty world like OoT, Twilight Princess was just OoT's big field with an unnecessary maze on top.
 
Wii software sales show how casual its user base was. How does Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros only sell 12 million copies to 100 million users? Only 9 games on this console surpassed 10m sales and among them are Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Play, Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus. I'd wager at least 75% of Wii owners have never owned another gaming system in their lives.

It was short term success that almost sank their hardware business long term. The 3DS was also struggling out of the gate which led to emergency price cuts. Going hybrid with the Switch was basically their hail mary. Had it not been the hit it was then Nintendo would probably be publishing games on PlayStation right now.

There’s nothing objective about an argumentum ad populum. OOT isn’t special anymore. It was revelatory in 1998, but as I already explained, games that set the standards for a genre are pretty much never going to age especially gracefully, since games in the genre that come after are going to learn those lessons and build on them. OOT is not a bad game, but it’s just not on par with the 3D Zeldas that have come since without the aid of nostalgia goggles.
 
I don’t know how anyone was able to play OoT on an n64. I tried to, but the textures were so muddy that I really had a hard time navigating. But where I was totally able to play it, and really loved it at the time, was on the GameCube. There was a preorder disc that you could get with Wind Waker. Finally you could actually tell a tree from a rock from a wall
 
I don't think they really upgraded the graphics or improved anything for the Gamecube preorder disc version it was just a straight port as far as I remember, are you sure you didn't just play it on a different television that was better suited for it?

Man I miss when preordering games got you something worthwhile.... that, uh, one time!
