I am very happy for Nintendo's Success. But one thing is for certain, it will never have games like MGS or Resident Evil 5 because the system is just not powerful enough. Also, don't we all wish a new Mario game or a new Zelda game will have HD graphics. So my question to Nintendo diehard fans is, if we can rewind the clock, do you wish Nintendo would just release beast of a console with HD graphics comparable to Sony an Microsoft with just a stardard control pad? Or you are perfectly fine with Nintendo decision to go with something new and get all the casual onboard but have xbox 1 graphics. I wish Nintendo would have done both when they released the Wii back in 2006. I want my Zelda with Fable 2 graphics and Mario with Banjo graphics. Oh, maybe with all the money Nintendo is making these days, they will finally give that to us in the Wii 2. Mario Kart Wii is still the most fun game this generation. Now imagine Mario Kart in 1080P! |
I would never trade it for horsepower but it would have been nice to have both. Of course Nintendo couldn't have made the system cheaper than the competition and made a statement if they had both. Had to go to one radical end to have the full effect. Big risk that paid off.
But to the contrary I could care less if Mario Kart or Zelda was in HD. Wouldn't make a difference to me whatsoever. Mario Kart is fun because of the gameplay not the visuals. Mario is the exact same. Now Zelda has a lot to do with the visuals, but as we've seen with Wind Waker, super realism doesn't make it more fun than cel shaded.
So no I would never trade but would like both. But I don't think Zelda:TP would have been any better with Fable 2 graphics and Mario would have looked fugly with Banjo graphics. I mean Banjo looks fugly with those graphics. So far Galaxy and TP are some of the best games released this generation with some of the best graphics. That's on the Wii too so obviously the trade off wouldn't be much.
