"Nintendo games are only good the first time you play them" "They haven't changed since the N64 era."
Those aren't ignorant statements to you?
And yes, Nintendo games are incredibly diverse and innovative. Compare Metroid Prime to Halo, or Mario Galaxy to R&C and you see it very clearly.

Ignorant is a strong word for someone who's actually played the new games. Exaggeration might be a better term.
Mario 64 = Mario Galaxy - there are only a few changes in the core gameplay - sure you can fly around in a bee suit in one, but essentially it's the same game.
Zelda OOT = Zelda TP - It might be a claw shot now , and Zelda might be the one shooting the light arrow, but as for challenge and mechanics, it's too similar to make it decent.
Metriod Prime still doesn't have strafing aside from easy mode auto targeting (not that I like Halo)
And R&C is a completely different game - one that is turning into the Mario Series btw, for not changing much - but even with that said, Ratchet adn Clank the original is completely different from Up your Arsonal whereas one is more like a crash bandicoot game with big guns and the other is more like a third person shooter - which even sports an online mode if you care.
And, again, calling someone ignorant for thier opinion is asinine. "Nintendo games are only good the first time you play them" is an opinion, not an ignorant statement. I've tried playing various games more than once, but I can't get into them the second time, because it's only remotely challenging the first time - and there isn't exactly an involving storyline to keep me going unlike, say, Metal Gear Solid, or Xenogears. (Don't even try to bring up Zelda on this one.)
I won't want to play Mario Galaxy again, nor will I want to play Metroid Prime again (Too much backtracking... WAY too much.) There just isn't enough there to keep me mentally stimulated after I've solved it once.
