That is one reason I have shied away from Nintendo games, because they are not story driven. That is not to say that Nintendo doesn't produce fantastic games, I am just not compelled by Mario's quest to save the princess.

I am still dying to play Super Mario Galaxy in any case. I am not willing to purchase a Wii for it though. I do appreciate the artistic break the designers have taken with the game though, because it looks fantastic and very surreal. Definitely a step in the right direction.

bingo, the same for me, gameplay has always been fun with nintendo, but i also think story is almost as important in some games. Look at the FF series, if not for its fantastic story telling it wouldnt be where it is today.

 

100% true. Although I myself still love and cherish Nintendo's games. The Zelda games were never story driven but god damn they game the better gameplay than most story driven games! Metroid Prime might not be THAT heavy on the story but the little it offered was more than enough to make you part of Tallon IV/Aether!

I love story driven games by far [favourite games ever are the Golden Sun series right along side the first Metroid Prime]. I'm just wondering if you're willing to miss out on classics just because they're not heavily story driven!
