AlfredoTurkey said: The opinion of SMS is very similar to WW. Anyone over say, 35, will tell you how both games were flops and pretty much ridiculed when they were released. Mario was mocked because of the water pack mechanic and WW was mocked for being too easy, kiddy and having too much sailing. Both were generally considered disappointments. But as the generations have moved forward, the kids of that era who were too young to compare Sunshine to SM64 and WW to OOT, think they're masterpieces. Since those kids are now 20 somethings with influence, history has been rewritten to make it seem like both games were said masterpieces. |
Agreed on the first paragraph. Part of the reason the Gamecube as a whole was so disappointing was that so many franchises that were epic and badass on N64 were neutered on GCN, like Mario, Zelda, and Starfox.
Disagreed on the last though; the "waggle" in Galaxy felt great, so I think it enhanced rather than detracted from the game.
