If Banjo was coming to the Wii this thread would not exist. |
Because Nintendo fans are generally so tolerant of their favourite series being taken in drastically different directions?
There is a long track record of Nintendo making fairly minor changes to a series, and having Nintendo fans completely freak out ... In Nintendo's case, because the high quality and feel of the game is usually preserved, this usually doesn't have that big of an impact on the final product; but there are lots of companies who don't have the magic touch when it comes to these types of things and it has cost them dearly.

Nintendo fans do freak out before hand, like Wind Waker and Metroid Prime. Problem is, they usually look back on these games and recognize them as gems, while they horribly await the next drastic change the series takes. Looking back, Nintendo fans have been mostly wrong to be wary of these changes, so I don't take this backlash against Banjo too seriously. It was almost 10 years between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime, the same as Banjo-Kazooie, and that series took a VERY drastic turn. To many people it's almost nothing like the Metroid of old, and yet it turned out fine.

well...did you forget to mention Starfox:Adventures for the GCN?....that was a rare game...they screwed the series hard
it's not because it's not coming to the Wii..it's just because I've lost faith in Rare...I loved perfect dark
I was considering buying the 360 just for PD:Zero...lol...I'm glad I didn't

Star Fox Adventures was a spin-off. If you were looking for a traditional Star Fox game then you obviously weren't paying attention to the years of media on it, or the front or back of the box. It was a good game for what it was. If you want to blame someone for ruining Star Fox, blame Namco for the bland Star Fox Assault and hope that Nintendo uses a better developer for the series next time like Artech Studios, the makers of Aces of the Galaxy.
My point also wasn't that Nintendo fans are like this because it's not coming to the Wii. They're always like this, even with Nintendo franchises. My point was that they're usually dead wrong each time. Wind Waker got trashed and turned out amazing. Metroid Prime was trashed and also turned out amazing. Mario Sunshine got trashed, and still gets trashed somehow, and yet it's quite an amazing game itself. In fact the whole Gamecube era was Nintendo fans complaining over everything Nintendo did, changed, left the same, etc. and some of that attitude has leaked into this generation unfortunately. Looking back, everyone now has fond memories of the GC but I remember how it was talked about at the time and it wasn't pretty.
The point is to give Banjo-Kazooie a chance at least. Keep an open mind about it because otherwise you'll be predetermined to hate it.
