It's a PR tactic that TP, MP3 and SMG were the easiest games of their respective franchises? I don't think so.

 

Right ...

Question for you, if you have played every game in these series couldn't the "easiness" be associated with familiarity and skill in the game rather than a lack of difficulty? On the other hand, if you haven't played every game in the series couldn't your post be considered a blatent troll?

People I know who were new to those series (even experienced gamers) tended to have difficulty because they did not know what to look for in boss battles, puzzles were not obvious, and the enemies were difficult; on the other hand people with lots of experience with the series didn't struggle at all, but were challenged at points.

SMG was a bit easier than Super Mario 64 (MUCH more linear and less difficult to figure out what to do), but collecting some of those purple coins was ridiculous! Twilight Princess was definitely harder than Ocarina (probably the easiest of all the Zelda games). I haven't played a Metroid game in my entire life.

But chill out HappySqurriel. You love to talk crap yet get pissed off when somebody says something bad about Nintendo.

Maybe people are saying Nintendo is neglecting the core gamer because they actually are...although a lot of people have forgotten about the great core games that have already been released.

 

How was that talking crap.  Squirrel used a perfect argument that's cornered DTG into a position where he can either say nothing or admit he was wrong.  Your opinion of the hardness of games is not law.  Those with extensive experience with series will of course find them easier as they go along because they're so familiar with the correct way to figure out things.  If he hasn't played the entire series, he can't possibly judge the games without trolling like Squirrel said.  Just because Squirrel is tearing apart and argument similar to yours doesn't mean he's doing anything wrong. ;)
