I’m 41 and I’ve been playing Nintendo’s games for a long time. I was starting to get tired of them during the N64 days. With their Gamecube games I had to force myself to finish them. When Wii came out I decided no more for me.

My roommate has a Wii and Twilight Princess, I was really excited to play it and am about 6 hours in.. and I haven’t touched my file for months.

How dare you make those claims about Mario64 2!? LOL

Nintendo hasn’t smashed any new boundaries. The games, while not re-hashed entirely, as they all include very new dimensions of gameplay, have been cut from the same cloth too many times. Mario64, Metroid Prime, and LOZ:OOT, were all games that re-defined how we experienced their legendary stories, but now the stories haven’t changed, and the games play only slightly different. One thing I’ve learned in life is that things are meant to change. This game templates they’ve used over almost 2 decades, don’t work well anymore, and need to be updated. They sqeaked by this time, but their next approach must be significantly radical and new, if not, I almost feel sorry for them.
