The "budget" comment was the only part rlevant to my post so it's all I'm responding to.

You're wrong. Super Mario Galaxy was supposed to have cost as much to make as a low-tier HD blockbuster.

And you hope they odn't change the Zelda formula too much, bu you couldn' play through Twilight Princess, which had th formula unchanged from Ocarina of Time? THat makes no sense.

And that`s supposed to be what, big budget? Name me a Nintendo game with a 50+ million dolar budget? Hell we have games in the 60-110 million dollar budget range now, Nintendo isn't even close...

I wish there was a way for you to see how highly I have my left eyebrow raised. It is quite distinguished as far as such expressions go.

"A low-tier HD blockbuster" still costs quite a lot, just not the insane, company-detroying budgets that some developers dip their hands into. I think Galaxy was supposed to have cost 15 million to make, which is ass-over-end insane for a 480p game.

 

That's not insane at all... Remember a game called shenmue? 70 million dollar budget and it's ten years old.

Heck, MGS2 had a budget of 30 million back in 2001. GTA SA had a budget larger than that... 15 million is not a top tier budget. It's not a low budget but I'd put it somewhere in the middle of the two...The fact that it is Nintendo biggest budget game tells me that their average game is in the upper low/ lower medium budget range. Nintendo games are certainly not what I would classify among the top-tier high budget games.
