Anyone else love the "Nintendo" cycle?

It goes something like this.

Part 1 (180 degrees)

A new game is announced.  Nintendo takes beloved series in new direction.  Internet fans lament over new direction.  Fans praise old titles(Notably the most recent one) for holding true to series' tradition.

Part 2 (180 degrees)

A new game is announced.  Nintendo takes beloved series back to roots.  Internet fans lament over the new game being a 'rehash.'  Fans praise last title for being different.

I personally find it hilarious. So much hypocrisy and unnecessary whining.  xD
