Well that's a bummer, I want a whole new experience with Zelda. Wii Motion Plus should make it radically different.

What do you guys think?

These guys do tend to be very humble though. So I'm not dashing my hopes yet.

Well if it strayed too far from the formula, it probably would've been Banjo all over again. Let's wait and see what they do.

I think hardcore gamers should be happy they finally got what they wanted from Nintendo: more of the same.

You folks would hate it if they did make the next Zelda radically different...

This isn't a bad thing anyways, as long as the make the story and the world more immersive and and I'm fine with it.

What Zelda game is? It's always the same old golden "Peter Pan fairy boy" in green tights that can't talk "but is suffering from some sort of mental disorder because he grunts alot" Who goes into dungeon's with puzzles and finds the same old treasures time and again.

I think he means it won't be radically different like being a driver. He probably means they will make it feel very different but Keep Core Mechanics.

Meh. Don't care...I wan't something Different, but not radically different. Maybe he just said that to ease the fears of people who think Link won't have a sword. Anywase, It will be differnt. Just not radically different. They spent all their time on gameplay so it can't be OOT, TP, same.

Mario Galaxy wasn't radically different from Super Mario 64, but felt fresh and new nonetheless. We don't need a Resident Evil 4 style reboot of the series, because unlike the old Resident Evil games, the Zelda series' formula is almost perfect. One thing I feel that the games needs to rework is the enemies and combat. With Motion Plus hopefully we'll see that.

And Majora's Mask, come to think of it, I liked Majora's Mask better than Ocarina of Time, but Ocarina of Time had more replay value in my opinion.

If Twilight Princess was any bit of an indicator, that is exactly what we need. Despite being a good and fun game, TP was far too much like Ocarina of Time.

They could at least add another Character and let you chose to be Evil or Neutral.

Not everyone wants to be a Peter Pan look a like with a fairy.

That it was, and while I'll admit I'll be dissapointed if the game doesn't make too many evolutionary steps beyond Twilight Princess, I don't think a complete reboot is necessary. Why throw out a nearly flawless formula and start from scratch? If you want to do that then make a new IP. There's no reason why they can't shake things up a bit like they did in Majoras Mask or Mario Galaxy (in their respective franchises).

This is good news IMO, we all know what hapens when Nintendo does things radically different. I hope they do some things different, like bring the franchise up to snuff, fully voice acted (Minus link) full orchestra, more mature (Not blood and guts mature, or a darker tone but more adult situations and adult dialogue) that would make the next Zelda game great for me.

People complain about everything, so hardcore fans can never be please.

If Zelda Wii was radically different:

"this is stoopid, i want a game like oot"

IfZelda Wii was the same

"this is stoopid, i want a game that is different from oot"

Fanbases are never grateful

The thing is, RE4 didn't throw out the RE formula and start from scratch. It utilizes a lot of the established RE formula... it just tends to focus more on action instead of horror/suspense and puzzle-solving/exploration. It still suffers from tank control stiffness. Nintendo needs to give the series a reboot if it is going to remain fresh and non-derivative.

I think if Twilight Princess was much more difficult, it would have been fine. The only reason I grew bored of the game was that it was very easy. Sure, I don't mind them mixing up a few new gameplay mechanics, but I'd like the game to stay as close to the "formula" as it can. You know, great puzzles, good bossfights, etc...

Peter Pan he was before Link and even had the fairy down pat.

Some type of Morality choices would be intresting instead of the "liner adventures of goody too shoes" or at least create a diffrent character and let us play Evil or somthing where we get to kick Link in the Nuts. Havn't been able to do that since SC II
