Nintendo Double Standard?

Ok, firstly, this phrase 'double standard' doesn't mean what you think it does.

Having a double standard is when you expect others to meet one set of standards and you to meet another. Can you quote a Ninty exec criticising a game for lack of story?

Moving along from semantics, I like the plot of the Zelda games, I love the plot to Metroid games. Just because they have text instead of some douche reading out exactly what they would have had as text anyway, does not mean the plot is bad.

I'm not saying the double standard is from Nintendo. I'm saying it's from reviewers, maybe I wasn't 100% clear, but everyone else seems to have got it.

 

And I dropped the Zelda point, I realized they had more story than I acknowledged. As for Metroid, well, the story's there, but most people who played it wouldn't really know. I was a scan whore, that's the only way I ever found out. Presentation does matter; it doesn't have to be "some douche reading out exactly" what it is, but making it more accessible so more people can enjoy it certainly doesn't hurt.

Ahh, I may just have read the first post then replied. I also was a scan whore for the metroid games.
