There are many other ways to play these games that don't involve paying for the more expensive 3DS... just sayin.

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="GD1551"]Yeah in genres where they basically have 0 competition. SMG!! Platformer of this gen!!!! It is the best out of all 5(exaggeration of course) platformers for the whole gen!! Nintendo doesn't try to compete, much like with the wii they make games in areas where's there is little to no competition then people claim "best of gen"GD1551

MP doesn't even come close to the best in either department. You don't see anyone borrowing anything from MP. Again with the platformers, nice that back in the snes days it was competitive however after that it wasn't and still isn't.

[QUOTE="IronBass"]Because every single gen they've made at least one game that can be considered the best (of the gen).GD1551

[QUOTE="starwarsgeek112"]Metroid Prime.. just the 7th best game ever made (according to gamerankings), definitely not the best of that gen.IronBass

If you checked that Gamerankings chart, you should have noted that none of the other 6 games came out that same gen.

And there again, being the seventh highest scoring game of all time doesn't exactly fit with a "just". It's a terrific achievement.

The handheld market faces a legitimate threat from the rise of iOS and android games. I'm not saying handhelds are going to go anywhere anytime soon or that those games are better but you'd be a little naive to think otherwise.

I find it completely hilarious that people defend nintendo's bad practices and say good games. Yet activision is the same way and people flame them, same with capcom and the same way with EA. They all have good games infact they all have games that define this generation yet people flame them if they do stuff like this but nintendo is always left off the hook.

Why is this?

[QUOTE="GunSmith1_basic"]the re-hashing argument is an old one that does not work with anyone who actually plays nintendo games. They always mix up their formula, so much so that people say that Twilight Princess is too close for comfort with Ocarina of Time. Those two games have huge similarities but also huge differences. Nintendo is always mixing up their formula with exceptions like direct sequels to specific games like Galaxy 2 and Metroid Prime 2, but no one would fault Nintendo for making those games close to the originals (and even in those cases there are new elements added). With all the COD games and clones and FPS boredom out there (oh but with different characters! ... lol who cares???) I find it funny that Nintendo is accused of rehashingGD1551

Sorry but I don't see the big difference between TP/MM/OOT/WW, the core gameplay is exactly the same, there are normally only one or two major changes. Like sailing in WW, wolf in TP etc.. but outside of that the game's play exactly the same just like COD. COD gets only 1 or two changes that make each different but on a fundamental level they are exactly the same.
