Agreed, but knowing Nintendo's outdated thought process, they still think that e-rated platformers get all the dough and the hype now.... even though most kids and modern gamers would prefer playing CoD... lol.
Nintendo could improve the Metroid series, but they probably won't because they've never really had any experience when it comes to pleasing the PS3/Xbox mentality crowd.

People THINK they want what they're used to but what they really want is what's an IMPROVEMENT on or EXPANSION of what they're used to so when you just give them exactly what they ask for the result turns out disappointing.
Nintendo needs to break from of OoT's shadow and bowing down to all its ♥♥♥♥ing fanboys isn't going to get that done. |
Agree with you on this as well. But that doesn't mean that they should completely ignore their older audiences. The problem with Nintendo, is that they rarely listen to their Zelda fans... and when they actually do, it's for all of the wrong reasons.
i.e, gamers just want a challenging Zelda game with a mature plot, an immersive - up-to date overworld, intelligent A.I., orchestral music and voice acting and the like. They don't want new quirky art styles, shallow, sugary animu storylines or motion control gimmicks. You're right, people just want to see the basics expanded upon and improved, and I think a majority of fans have finally realized this after
TP. It's the primary reason why
TP was so hyped to begin with, and why people were drooling over the tech demo footage shown at E3. Needless experiments with pointless art styles, dumbed-down difficulty and motion controls just comes off as lazy procrastination on Nintendo's part. It isn't going to revolutionize the series' foundations, and it isn't going to keep fans interested in the long run.
