Captain toad levels ok because no game had ever done anything like that before.

Ratchet and Clank all 4 one did that already. This only shows me you really dont know what you are talking about.

Any FP game ever made plays like PRime because Prime is a FP game.

I'm still waiting for you to show me where Ninty is doing something that hasnt been done before by anyone cause that would be innovative


I think it's a mix of naivity and a lack of exposure to the vast wealth of video games that are out there across all of the platforms. But it's very common that the games attributed with introducing revolutionary concepts, have actually borrowed them from lesser known games. Innovation and Popularisation are very different.

However, I will admit for Metroid Prime, it was the first real time action game I played where the story/narration was done through examining your environment. Damn I love that game!

Yet you guys can't name me one similar game to SM3DL/SM3DW, MM, Splatoon, Fire Emblem: Awakening (perma death feature, your crew can fall in love with each other and have babies which you can recruit to your army thanks to a time travel element), XBX (and watch the Japanese direct bevfore you comment on this).

In fact, read this interview:

Aonuma

When I finished creating Majora's Mask for the Nintendo 64, I assumed that other companies would be releasing games similar to this one. But in reality, no one did.

Iwata

I certainly haven't seen anything like this anywhere else.

Aonuma

Even 15 years after the Nintendo 64 version of this game released, no one created a game like this. Because of this, the unique taste and feel of this game seems to exist for a long time...

Iwata

So, a game that's timeless?

 

Aonuma

I believe so. So even if people of this generation play this game, I think they can find something that will call out to their hearts, and have a fresh experience that they can gain something from. So I hope many people will play this game, to have an experience that can only be gained by playing Majora's Mask 3D.
