Forums - Gaming - why doesn't nintendo make a zelda rpg

I would sell my soul for a Pokemon MMORPG if I hadn't already sold it for Sonic in Brawl.

Zelda IS an RPG. RPG does not mean gaining experience and leveling up. RPG means 'role playing game'. It's a series where you really get into and feel for the main character, hence you are playing a role. You are playing a role, therefore it is a 'role playing game'.

 That's why I've always loved tetris, I feel like I'm one with the 4-conjoined-vertical/horizonal-block-piece.



Btw, RPG IS defined in a video game format as including a stat increase system. We all know where the term RPG came from, but that doesn't mean it's exactly what it means in a video game. If we just defined it as playing as a main character you could empathize with nearly every game would be an RPG.

it would be huge

Wow, I never thought of that, but I would pay 1000 dollars to play it, and I'm dead serious. I will look you right in the eye and hand you 1000 dollars, if you can make Nintendo do a Zelda RPG.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

 It depends on who's making the game. If Level 5 is makig it, you better believe I would pay 1000$ for it.

Zelda used to be considered an RPG until Square got so popular and people started to distinguish "Role Playing Game" as meaning leveling up as opposed to just following a story through talking to characters.

That's because in the 80s there weren't enough games that we needed so many genres, but there are hundreds of games released a year, and genres are divided by rules for a reason. So, we now call games where you follow a story and talk to characters an Adventure, and games with a stat increase system an RPG. Works pretty well. Let's not try and kill the current genre system please. Thanks.



I have been waiting for a console pokemon rpg for like 8 years now. Come on nintendo!
