Shigeru Miyamoto only recently made a remark that E3 is no longer a place to introduce new games for the core gamer. Additionally, it has been discovered that the legendary video game mastermind provided a response about making franchises such as Zelda and Mario more accessible. Unfortunately, it looks like those who have been hoping that the next Zelda would ramp up the difficulty won't find the next Zelda game to be any tougher. If anything, the next Zelda title could be even less hardcore than we're accustomed to. "Frankly, some of the so-called 'franchise games' are quite difficult for nongamers to play, so making accessible games for these players is key. With Zelda, we have to consider how to make it accessible for new gamers to pick up and play and enjoy just as hardcore gamers have. For example, we've got the Touch Generations series. Now, we're not necessarily going to make our "franchise" games in that way but we'll take what we know and have learned - the philosophy behind those games - and incorporate it into franchise games. That's a philosophy that's very strong at Nintendo."
Wow, if the new Zelda is easier than TP (which was a cake walk), I see no reason to get it. Good job Nintendo, you are even taking the hardcore franchises and dumbing them down. Can we expect Mario Hold Right to Win next?
