First off, I like Nintendo, no I LOVE Nintendo. Nintendo games are really easy to pick up and play almost immediately.
But in all honesty, while their gameplay is top-notch, Nintendo games by FAR lack the most substance. Substance being the overall experience of the game including factors such as music, storyline, emotion (not just sadness, but fear and anger as well) excitement in intense battles and the pacing of the game balancing the games length with the best parts of the game that you wish were the ENTIRE game.
Gameplay is good and all, but after playing the marios, zeldas and the metroids since the NES era, I find no purpose in the games. What I mean is, the feeling of a game, something to add meaning and depth to the gameplay. SMG gives me the same feeling as SMB3 did. While the feeling is good, I don't feel attached to the game. The thing Nintendo games seem to really have left off since last gen was the excitement factor of being killed and actually paying attention to your life. TP is ridiculously easy as is SMG compared to OoT, LttP, SMB3 and SM64. Due to this, TP and SMG are not as memorable.
Don't get me wrong, they're fun games and I play them every now and then. It's just that it's so easy to predict what is going to happen next in the games that surprises are completely non-existent.
