I can agree that not all games doesn't need to be a work of art. People just want to play a fun game with great gameplay, but I feel that sort of rip the image of game, make it feel more souless. Which was a bit of my main issue with Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario Kart Wii, 3D Land, etc. I know Miyamoto shows his creativity of art with Skyward Sword and the recent Pikmin 3, but it sound like you guys are slowly losing the meaning of game design. This may not be a big deal to you, but for me, a huge fan and inspiration artist who follow Nintendo form of design during the GameCube days.....I'm highly disappointed. I'm at the point if the Wii U does do well, I still may end up selling my mine for another console. The Nintendo I remember is long dead as far as I know and I just need to face the facts. 3D Worlds was a massive kick to the face when I first saw it and I just proceed through the day with a fake smile on my face.
I know buisness come first so I wish you guys the best this Holiday season. What's your take on this? Again, this just my opinion, I'm not hattin on Nintendo.
Gameplay always come first because til the end it is a game after all. Its just nice to add an artistic flavor to the traditional gameplay from time time, personality and stuff. For example: Kirby Epic Yard, Super Mario Sunshine and Mario and Luigi Series. When I said "art", people took that the wrong way, they thought I meant the game to have art as you'll see in a museum. No, I meant "personality", setting up an image for the characters you grow to like, also base around the setting and story.
Not all games need to be a masterpiece or anything, but again, its nice to have an image. I'm still going to support Nintendo, I plan to buy 3D World and W101 (most definitely).
PS. Still love my 3DS XL :3
