Why make a game for a niche crowd when you can appeal to the masses?foxhound_fox

"New Zelda could go casual"

Thanks again for killing yet another of my favorite series, Nintendo.

For a good minute I sat here looking at your sig, convinced it was relevant to the topic. I was thinking "what the hell does this dog have to do with it?" and was looking for all sorts of answers. Then I realised, just a sig. :P

Anyway, I doubt they would butcher it completely. If it's any easier than TP than that sucks. Come on, I want at least 50 hours of play!

I'd like to thank the TC for pulling out the one bad bit in a stream of great morsels.Here's some things that were also in the article:

-New Zelda will have a better soundtrack

-New Zelda will have its own engine, could use the Wii's full power

-Wii Motion Plus could be used

-New Zelda will have a more story based plot

But of course,the very mention of the word "casual" means an automatic fail.:roll:

They were saying Super Mario Galaxy would be more accessible as well...look how that turned out.TreyoftheDead

Casual as in Phantom Hourglass?Willy105

Honestly, I think people are overreacting to the "casual"statement and automatically assuming Zelda is going down the path where its will be designed to appeal only to old people and soccer moms. The only casual moves I see happening to the next Zelda are easier boss fights and a Navi-like character offering hints(Which has been in the series since OOT.)

oh sure like they killed zelda with wind waker right..?

we have these kind of threads like everytime nintendo announces a new zelda.. and yet zelda is the best gaming series ever period and has stayed that way.

Jeff Gerstmanns review was a complete joke.. he bashed wii hardware on the review of zelda TP.. i mean hello..? its a game review not a hardware review..

Wow, people are getting upset over this? The game, let alone ANY information, hasn't even been released yet. Why don't you people save your crying until at least a preview is done of the game?Zhengi

I'd wait for a better source like Gamespot or IGN before I start taking this seriously, I highly doubt some random person on Youtube would be reporting this sort of stuff on the next Zelda game and no one else really picking up on this. Also I love how everything is basically a maybe.

Sountrack likely to be better than Twilight Princess

Might be using the Wii to its full potential

Link might talk

It could be a casual game

The world might end in 2012

Honestly the things people by into these days, plus I love how Nintendo already confirmed that Wii Sports Resort would be the last game geared for the casual market while its core franchises from here on would be more geared towards the hard core fanbase. I doubt we'll hear anything from NINTENDO about this game or any others until E3 2009 if not later on at their own personal event.

you are bringing common sense to a zelda speculation thread.. :lol: farnham

[QUOTE="LittleHands134"][QUOTE="TAKE_IT_BACK"]

So it'll be more accessible? Can't see how thats a bad thing.

BTW, this is all rumor.

You guys catch on quickly.... get used to this treatment, because I suspect that pretty much all of the new games coming down the turnpike will be leaning this way...

Nintendo will most likely maske it too easy., sop they can asell it to the casual gamers, which are moast of the people who bought the Wii. Yes, hardcore gamers bought the wii also, but the mass of their sales are casual. They want as large of a mass appeal as possible. A better soundtrack will be nice, as will improved graphics. The bad thing is that the wii has been out for 2 years already, asnd TP was a gamecube game. This is taking them a long time to get a proper wii zelda game out the door. .Phazevariance

I've played plenty of good easy games and crap hard games

[QUOTE="too_much_eslim"][QUOTE="LittleHands134"] It'll be a ridiculously easy game that holds your hand throughout the entire thing. Just like every other casual title.Shinobishyguy

I've played plenty of good easy games and crap hard games

i dont agree, wind waker was much more challenging then Twilight princess.

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"][QUOTE="too_much_eslim"] TP was the easiest Zelda game I ever played. If they decide to make it even easier and get rid all the tough puzzles completely I will never buy a Nintendo console again. joesh89

remember that ball and chian minniboss? I didn't expect to take off 6 hearts with one hit.Shinobishyguy

Yay quoting a bunch of what if's and I think's. The fact is we have no facts about it apart from basics like yes it's in development and yes the team working on it will be a younger than usual team for a Zelda game. That's basically all we know so why are worrying about rumors or fake news that they made up themselves.St_muscat
