Is Nintendo even able or willing to surprise anymore?

With the announcement of the new 3DS Zelda and previously Animal Crossing, Zelda OoT 3D, Zelda Wind Waker HD, Donkey Kong Country, and many more, which are all practically remakes: what does this say about the direction Nintendo has taken? Just about every Nintendo game lately harkens back to the olden days. I know some people will love it but remember the N64? Nintendo was miles beyond any developer at that time, with games that were absolutely mindblowing, cutting edge and just perfect. Playing Nintendo games now feels like a trip down to memory lane. And it bores me to death.

Is this a case of unable or unwilling to blow people's minds? 'Cause the last time I was blown away by a Nintendo game was Super Mario Galaxy, which was truly innovative and clever. Almost everything after seems like polished up old games.

I hear you load and clear but its hard to reinvent the wheel and make groud breaking changes!!!! The 64 was a glorious time for gaming because everything went to true solid 3d, so there were many amazing new experiences on 64 mario64,zelda oot, goldeneye and so much more!!Hell the introduction of so many four player games was amazing!! Graphics and gameplay will never change like that again, literally you could spend hours walking around staring at nothing in mario and zelda and still be entertained.Remember in mario 64 climbing trees just to do a hand stand and jumping off, I would never spend time doing that for as long as I did back then in a new game because now Im used to 3d and the mechanics that comes with it.With that system new gameplay was almost easy to come by, not so much now they have to think harder . Games have wowed since but not in the revolutionary volume of the 64!!!Games since then - gamecube -Metriod prime, Resident Evil 4 -metriod was not the first fps but it was the first to play the way it did the jumping and grahpics were amazing and the idea of walking into the room and you see no one and have to hunt them down with your vizors was crazy ingenious I love this game right there with m64 and z oot,and re4 made the 3rd person shooter craze what it is today and surpised all!!! Wii - WII sports - Mario Galaxy,everyone brings up mg and not much talk on wii sports but it was more amazing than mario just in smaller package and definitely changed gaming forever!!!! So there are the suprise titles since the 64 era " hope i didnt forget any " and yes there will be a game changing title but it will be few that can achieve it with so much already done and acomplished! Also nintendo land has a few wow moments if you have tried it but keep the faith gems will come! Im a hardcore nintendo fan love my wii u when its all said and done probably more than the 64, and all my post are from my wii u gamepad!
