| Gilgamesh said: @Kenology, I know what you said, and I asked who thought that NSMB wasn't going to move hardware, you say ALL of Sony and Microsoft fans said it wasn't yet I don't really recall anyone saying that? Like I said why wouldn't it, it's a very new type of Mario game for the Wii and it's nothing like Galaxy or Kart, maybe a bit like Paper Mario. |
Why are you talking like Zelda Wii is just another Zelda? At the very least, it's the first motion plus Zelda, where you will control your items as you would imagine them (sword, bow, boomerang etc.). The last Zelda only had modest gestures to swing your sword and the like. It was a Gamecube game on Wii. This is a Wii game.
At best it could be a bridge title that goes back to the series roots and finds a new audience, while still pleasing the core audience. Bridge titles are Nintendo's biggest sellers, Mario Kart Wii and NSMB are bridge titles. I'm skeptical that they'll manage to make this into a bridge title, there have been more unsuccessful attempts (like Zelda: Spirit Tracks) than successful ones, but my point here is that you're way off the mark by acting like Zelda Wii is "just another Zelda".
PS. Being a bridge title doesn't mean it'll actually sell the numbers MK Wii and NSMB Wii did, but it would sell far more than the typical Zelda.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
