Interesting ideas, I dont agree with the get rid of the bloat thing, I like that each Zelda adds something new to the lore, if it didnt what would be the point of getting excited?? I would just stick to one of the older Zeldas or Metroids and save the money. Like Conegamer you want Zelda 1 and Super Metroid, play those games. Minish Cap might have been produced by Capcom but its closer to LttP than either of the DS games, same goes for Metroid.
Another interesting point is that Ninty most likely wont make these games for 3DS as that system is geared more towards 3D games and I agree. But has anyone stopped to think that if Ninty gets there crap together with online that we can see games like this on a WiiU type store. Something akin to PSNStore and XBLA, I know I know "online is bad because, it wont be worth as much." But if they are not going to make it for 3DS then they sure as hell wont make it for WiiU an online store might be the way to go. |
You should know by now that what you want is usually the opposite of what Nintendo needs to do to be successful.
The idea of an online store is to sell games that can't be sold as boxed games for various reasons. None of these reasons apply to Zelda and Metroid games like proposed in the original post. Although if Nintendo intends to marginalize or kill classic Zelda and Metroid (which is possible considering how they are treating classic Mario), then download-only games might be the way to go. Sega has already shown how to do it with Sonic 4.

This is exactly what i think they will do and it seems to be that you think so too? Would we rather have NO classic style Zelda or Metriod or would we rather have it on a DL store, im going with the latter.

But it's not an issue of either or. Nintendo seems not to have the capacity to be making both old school and new school Metroids and Zeldas (whether or not they actually lack the capacity is a different debate), and if you're going to be spending your resources on making a game, why sell a version that maybe not all your consumers can buy (due to potential lack of high speed internet or them being too apathetic to set up internet on the console) for $10 a pop when you can sell a version you know all your consumers can buy for $50 a go.
You might as well go whole hog at that point, which brings it up into either-or territory, though Nintendo seems to be splitting the burden among their teams well, they still need more of them.

Going by what Rol said, they will not be making those games for 3DS, (maybe Metroid). Its not about whether they have the capacity but the desire. If they feel that those 2d games are not worth a full retail release, then why not put them on a DL network?? Everyone else does it and they seem to do ok for the most part. Im not saying i totally agree with it.
