OoT was even made easier on purpose for the "casuals" outside of Japan which is why we have a master quest now.

As far as MK goes, skill still goes a long way, you can get annoyed by the items, I do myself and the game suffers in my eyes but look at the MK league you see Rol at the top he just plain knows the game and is better. And Selnor my friend I'm not sure if you know this or not but being able to be flat out better then someone at a game means there has to be a skill to it, fact not opinion.

SMG is by far better than SMS, and I'd say better than SM64, while it may seem easier I have went back and beat SM64 with 120 stars in less than a couple of days, that first time you play a 3D platformer which was likely SM64 then yes it will be harder, once you've aquired the skill it stays and transfers to newer games, only issue Nintendo wants to avoid what happened with the NES where games progressively got harder and harder until you've only started to market to a select few and that has been how the industry has always been and where it has fell flat on its face before.

In the debate of SSBB vs SSBM, I've noticed a majority of people that say SSBM was the better game was the people that played SSBM competitvely and these players played abusing exploits that were taken out of Brawl, yes the expolit itself takes a certain amount of skill to do and do it proficiently, but the whiners are complaining cause they have to learn a whole new system for a whole new game, if you're one of those then yes it would be a worse game to you, if you're not then there must be something seriously wrong since Brawl improved on everything Melee did, Melee was one of the worst looking Gamecube games while Brawl is one of the best looking Wii games, Melee had a random way of getting trophies, while Brawl lets you play a game to get them and know which trophies you're getting, Melee had a really basic single player adventure mode, while Brawl actually creates a story for all the characters, Melee had no custom levels, Brawl does, Brawl also has more levels and characters in general, and finally Brawl also has more options on gameplay.  In short every way you can think of Brawl does it better.

You wouldn't be saying that if you played it when you were 5 years old.  Like a lot of people who consider themselves 'hardcore' gamers now did.

But that's beside the point.  I also played Zelda when I was 5 years old and I still think Zelda got easier over time.  Zelda 1 and 2 are pretty much the hardest games in the series, not counting one or two puzzles that I personally couldn't figure out quickly in the 3D Zelda games.

I'd love it if we could get this level of passion and discussion about a non-flamebait topic. Any other topic will do. It can even be a lovefest for Final Fantasy VII, I don't care anymore.
