Innovation in software is the source of Nintendo's decline

[Jumpin]

Metroid has never really been that great of a series. As much as people claim it is, the only thing it has ever really had going for it is graphics. The main problem is that the story is always really bland, the game is always fairly isolated and boring, and the gameplay in the 3D titles is somewhat clunky. Making a first person shooter / platformer, where you can't even see where you are jumping, was really annoying.
