As usual the minority is the loudest. I'm happy with the poll results, very happy with the new art style. We've got enough 'realistic' western fantasy.

What's realistic about TP's style anyway, it's just a slightly darker cartoon.

In that case, Skyrim is also a slightly darker cartoon.

And you do realize that those "realistic" western fantasy games have and will continue to obliterate Zelda in sales?

I love the artstyle. It's beautiful, and the best they could have possibly done on the Wii U, imo. But in terms of sales, it won't do as well. That "minority" is like 33% of the gamerbase, who just look at graphics and then turn away. Shallow, yes, but that's how you get sales, and sales is exactly what the Wii U needs right now.

Those probably wouldn't buy a WiiU anyway.
Some day they'll grow up, meanwhile I'll enjoy stuff like Herdy Gerdy, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Valkyria Chronicles, PoP 2008, Catherine, Ni No Kuni, Pikmin 3 and this. Games you remember for their unique art style, not for how good the floor textures look.
I'm glad not every AAA game has to end up like this http://games.on.net/2014/06/ubisoft-game-the-review/
