A new 3D Mario? What can they do besides SMG3?93BlackHawk93

I wouldn't be opposed to a new Galaxy game as long as the levels are bigger and more open.

Only when described on paper. It works very well in the context of a video game. 

The dungeons rank just under TP for me. Its areas are filled with substantial gameplay, i.e. challenges and dungeon-quality puzzles, not just pointless "exploration" and "sense of discovery". Zelda is a glorified puzzle game, not an epic adventure. Even the combat in SS takes less twitch based, but more about figuring out what to do.

The negatives of SS are things held back by Wii hardware (empty skyworld) and the bad kind of guide/hand holding. These are not fundamental flaws, but fixable side things.

One thing Aonuma stressed was giving you freedom in picking which dungeon you want to complete. I think this is a fair compromise between the two camps, because it can work if they take on the item system of SS, not TP. 

It can work if they make it tier based, so you can complete dungeon 1-3 in any order, 3-? and then the final castle. This approach can work without affecting the dungeon design. 

That's fine and something the other camp is asking for. Give a little, without fundamentally changing the current formula.

I just want to know what Retro is doing and more info on Xenoblade 2.

You need to cut down on the hyperbole statements.

"Most other fans".... I'm not in the minority, heck the creative guys at Nintendo agree with me. Reviewers loved the game. According to Iwata asks, Nintendo received extremely positive feedback from game testers. 

Message boards don't accurately represent the gaming community, it is especially true when it comes to Nintendo given all the Wii hate, and the unproportional amount of Vita fans. It's not 10:1 like the sales data suggests.

Sales is an argument, but as you know those are complicated and depend on many factors so you can't make definitive statements. In the end Nintendo's creative vision should prevail, not mainstream demand.

Nintendo is having the very same debate internally, if I had one wish in life that would be to participate in Nintendo's decision making process loool.

I wonder what arguments are thrown around

[QUOTE="SuperFlakeman"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Look, we've been through this before: you and I (and you and quite a lot of other people, actually) have fundamentally different ideas of what Zelda is and what we want it to be. You think of it as a glorified puzzle game, but I (and most other fans of the series) do not: we want a massive world to explore, we want to go on an epic adventure, that has always been the DNA of the series, every single Zelda game has been about that, and when a Zelda game fails to deliver on that initial premise, it's a failure in my eyes, as well as most other Zelda fans' eyes (which is evident from its polarizing reception as well as its tepid performance at retail).charizard1605

What about OoT / MM? 

There was a similar drop as the one from TP to SS.

Damn charizard1605 , you have been on Nintendo's Wii U bandwagon a lot recently. Thought you did not care for it?

[QUOTE="SuperFlakeman"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] There is absolutely no hyperbole in what I said. Of course Nintendo stands by what it has made, it has to, and in a feature like Iwata Asks,, duh, they're trying to promote the game. The game might have been 'extremely well received,' but it is still the lowest scoring mainline Zelda game till date. It did not sell much at all. The fact of the matter is, if Nintendo's creative vision for the future of this series is more Skyward Sword, then they should anticipate losing more sales soon.charizard1605

Relevant?

two things I would love to see is account system on the 3ds/wii u and the XL costing  $160/$170. I would buy PKMN Y, ALLTP2, smt4, and whatever else nintendo has else for later this year

Relevant?

So wiiu will probably have 4 or 5 unannounced/undetailed games released by the time of the ps4/One launch.  X will be one of them.  A full fledged AAA rpg is a big seller, I think.

I should post this the Wife of a Monolith Soft employee is hyping Nintendo's E3 Direct.
