Absolutely nothing to hype the game over, yet Nintendo fans being Nintendo fans. No game is hyped the way Nintendo fans hype Nintendo games and Zelda U really has nothing to be hyped about. As overrated as I feel some of the games released have been, a game that's overhyped when there's nothing to be hyped about is extreme. |
I don't think that's fair. Yes, we saw only a teaser trailer, but I believe it's perfectly rational to be excited about a series with such an impressive history of great games. Look at Bloodborne for example. I doubt many people were impressed with the teaser. It was the words "From Software" that got people going. Because those fans trust the developer to deliver.
Or, going in another direction, what if a distributor released a teaser trailer for a movie by Scorsese or Malick or Paul Thomas Anderson. Even if the trailer showed very little, fans would still be thrilled because of the directors' pedigree.
@OP: I'm afraid I haven't played many games in 2014, so I can't speak with any authority. I do know that it's definitely not Mario Kart 8. That title met and exceeded my expectations. It's one of the best games I've played in years.
