Although you may be right, I don't think I could deal with Nintendo's releases becoming even more predictable. If you take Zelda away, do they make new ip's instead?

This thread doesn't support the idea that Zelda should be removed, but only seriously reconsidered. The current development process is more than just flawed. Zelda needs at the very least come back to a two to two and a half years long development cycle.

So in other words, I am not suggesting what ninty_shareholder thinks. Zelda has its place, but so do many other Nintendo IPs as well as there should be room for new IPs to be developed. As a basic example, if you split up the time and manpower needed for Zelda today in half, you get four games over the same period of time and all of them could still be AAA efforts.

So Zelda is a 4*AAA game, a AAAAAAAAAAAA game! Nice!

Seriously, they should try to make this game perfect and nothing less. I don't get it Rol.

They could use their Wii/DS money to invest in new manpower for new IPs. Nobody wants to get a half-baked Zelda in exchange.

give it up! just this time.
