I am getting a little annoyed that everytime people defend Nintendo and say they have already provided Mario, Zelda, MK, Smash etc, and they use this point to say that they can't just spam us with sequels (which I agree with) and we are getting greedy because they have already done their job.
But (Unlike I keep hearing around here) Nintendo has not given us a 7th gen Zelda. What we have is TP (My 2nd or 3rd fav Zelda).
Well as you all know TP was a gamecube game, that if it had not been delayed 47 times would have come out probably in Fall 05. I believe it was created due to the backfire that was WW (a good game, but people had already made their minds up in what they wanted)
So the way I look at it is this - You would not say Capcom has brought a new RE (UC is different... you know that) would you? RE4: Wii, and Zelda TP: Wii are the same. A 6th gen port with Wii controls. (I also think that it is funny as they have both brought a shooter spinnoff to the Wii also)
So here is what I, and most Nintendo fans mean when they complain that we have Seen nothing on Zelda. We want something new, yes we want a decent touch up in graphics. Better WiiControls (all I can say is I hope the reason we have seen nothing yet is because they trying to make it compatitble with WiiMotion Plus), some new things for the series like voice, bigger, but more populated would, the classic dungeons we all enjoy with a couple new wrinkles throw in that would only be possible on the Wii.
Also as an aside I hate Nintendo's new not showing anything until the game is basically done. I do know what they protect but it just sets gamers up for more disapointment. If we knew what we were getting we could just focus on those games and dream about that one game we wish Nintendo would make again (3d Donkey Kong please) also games like Zelda and Smash would sell better if they have more time for hype to build. Stupid decesision.
