"Between 2002 and 2006 the people over 40 buying a Nintendo DS doubled."

Hopefully that isnt a direct quote, because they didn't start selling the DS until 2004, right?

Guardian part in the temple of time: ~30 minutes. That ice-block thing in that mansion on snow-peak took me around ~45 minutes. I didn't get all hart-containers... I did search, and find, a lot of em though. But i don't think it's really relevant. Did i get all poe-souls?!... All freakin 60?!... NOOO!!!... i got to like 37 something. But again, not really relevant. What i wanted to say: The really hard moments are hard to find in the game... Other then Ocarina of time or The windwaker for that matter. Or even the oracle of games on the Gameboy color.

And btw: The game was really 9+ good... That's just a plain fact. But the level of difficulty just wasn't as i had hoped for. Capish?!

I actually thought the puzzles in Twilight Princess were more consistently clever than they were in Ocarina, but I feel like I solved most of them a lot faster.

I think TP turned out to be less than the sum of its parts, and Ocarina the opposite, but complaining that TP didn't have enough content or didn't have clever puzzles seems absurd to me.

I didn't see that as bragging or arrogance, but maybe it was your translation?

It looked like just stating facts and what goals are they aiming. Also the statement opens better, when knowing that in general people in EU are ageing (just like in Germany and just about every civilized westenrn country) and population even dropping.

@Starcraft: Now you are complaining about the industrys general trend. Games are getting more easy and more casual, that's not just Nintendo doing it.
You know, people between 30 and 40, are the people who started gaming with their Ataris and NES:s, people who maybe haven't been gaming in 10 years, because the games got too easy or casual or they just turned to stupid with running around headless and "fragging" people.Nintendo tries to cater to everyone.
And i think you should notice one thing about TP, it was developed at the time that Nintendo had focus on portable gaming and Gamecube wasn't selling, so financially it made no sense to put full focus on Twilight Princess. It was even delayed 2 years because it may have not been as profitable to release only on Gamecube. So i wouldn't take it as example on Nintendos future quality, since now they have again resources and motivation to put effort on its home console. And the DS, i think it pretty much caters for everyone who likes or dislikes traditional gaming.

"Ok, Nintendo you are successful. Don't brag about it so much. Pride goes before a fall. Just be successful and continue to be so. "

At least Nintendo's boasting is firmly based in facts, unlike Sony who make up shite and boast about it.

 That was quite funny :o)

Thank you for that much needed kidney punch to Sony.

/sarcasm

Nah it our time to shine. PS2 kicked our butts last time.

@starcraft
well i have completed WW and TP 100%, but i found both of them to be harder than OoT (i havent played any other zeldas)
WW is my favourite of the 3 btw, it looks the best, plays the best and has the best sidequests, only trouble is the main story was short, but the sidequests made up for that.
the only thing i havent done in OoT is get all the skulltula, and that's not because it's hard but because it's dull, i gave up at 70something cos i couldn't be bothered traipsing over the field all the time.

Ocarina of Time was easier than Twilight Princess
