| curl-6 said: It's this simple: a cartoon Zelda U would only appeal to their established audience. A darker semi-realistic Zelda U would capture thousands of gamers who would otherwise never touch Wii U. |
Will one game really attract that much people? Zelda isn't Halo, Mario, GTA, or Gran Turismo. It's not even as big as Final Fantasy VII or X was for the PS1 or PS2.
If Nintendo makes this darker Zelda game, they need to have other darker style games. The only franchise they can use are the even more niche series like Metroid, Star Fox, and F-Zero.
We don't even know if the traditional Zelda fans will be turned off by this darker game. It's kind like the Wii U's philosophy all over again but for a Zelda game. Relying on your past audience to show up and pay when appealing to another crowd who isn't big and doesn't want the game's system in the first place. It will try to appeal to everyone but end up unwanted by everyone. And if you're using video game forumers to gauge interests, then you'e selected a really bad sample. Video game forumers don't traditionally buy recent Nintendo systems in the first place.
