| Killiana1a said: There is no going back to the NES days where games were light on the story, characters did not talk, and it as mainly 2D. Technology has changed, 3D graphics have been around 14 years, stories have gotten more complex, and players invest more of themselves in games than just a mindless, fun activity of getting from the start of the level to the end. The gaming developers in both Japan and the West will never lower themselves to NES standards because they see a heavily produced Hollywood-esque series like Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops setting records. Zelda worked back in the 1980s, Modern Warfare 2 set records in 2009, and Black Ops has set records in 2010. Times have changed and people need to change with the times. |
NSMB & NSMBWii would like to say high. Which both have set records that pretty much any game would love to come close to. Wait, let me also throw in Wii Fit, Wii Sports Resort, Brain Age. All of which fit your description of "mindless fun" yet all blow away almost all of the "hollywood-esque" games in total sales and definitly beat them all in total profit.
