| Impulsivity said: Its not a derivitive rehash of games I've been playing since I was 4 like all the Wii games. Mario galaxy is barely different then Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo other then graphics, ditto for twilight princess (down to the dungeon design) compared to the original legend of zelda. To be fair though I would say Bioshock and Mass Effect are similarly powerful and cinematic (and of course also on PC like all the good 360 games). Even still MGS4 is leaps and bounds above either in terms of sheer quality and polish. Its the kind of game that makes it worth owning an HD console and shows the severe limitations of the Wii in terms of developing cinematic experiences on par with the PS3. |
Yeah man, Mario Galaxy is no different than Super Mario Bros. on the NES. Ah, I fondly remember the days of picking up and shooting Star Bits with my NES-Mote while Mario tackled gravity puzzles in World 3-2 and jumped from planet to 8-bit planet solving puzzles. Nintendo hasn't changed their design one bit since that game, and I'm sick and tired of it too.
So, in short: Preach on, brotha'. Preach on.
(Alternate post) Yeah, Mario hasn't changed its design one bit since the NES days. Now, Kojima-san, there's a guy who innovates! *plays sequel to a sequel to a sequel where the gameplay hasn't changed since 1998*
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
