"It's Zelda for Grown-ups" - IGN

It's this kind of comment that makes me want to headbutt people.

It's on the advert for BG&E, it's on the inside cover of NGC, among other places. You'd think IGN had more sense..

Metroid Prime doesn't touch Sunshine and Zelda on a level of fun.

Prime is a very different game to Sunshine and Zelda... I prefer the latter 2 due to the level of laughter and just general enjoyment i derive from the games... Metroid Prime is thrilling and damn good... but it's not "fun" in the true sense of the word.

It is what modern gamers have come to know of games, fantastically put together, addictive and gorgeous games are the best.

Once upon a time the games that were simple or just a fantastic laugh, these were the best games.

The latter are the games Nintendo still continue to make. And those who still want the latter are the hardcore fan base of Nintendo.

You mean 'snorefests' like Metroid Prime? That's all down to opinion, I've enjoyed it a lot more than the lieks of Zelda, Mario Sunshine and the like. Wow, it has a bit of depth and it can be a challenge at times, therefore it's boring.

But nintendo games = fun.

I care about it because it presents an unfair image of Zelda, which goes on to show an unfair image of Nintendo and inadvertently displays an unfair image of Nintendo owners, i.e. me.

We really shouldn't have to put up with your average Playstation 2 owner coming up to you and saying that Zelda is for babies, then suggesting you grow up and play Need for Speed: Underground.

They really shouldn't be the most prominent games website..

I tried reading their Zelda: Ocarina of Time review last night. I was bored out of my mind after the first paragraph. Terribly written.

Games don't even have to be fun anymore. Half of the most critically acclaimed ones are snorefests.

I care about nintendos sales figures.

more sales = more games.

more games = more fun

You guys all care too much about what others think. It's not as if some stranger saying "Zelda is kiddy" is actually going to stop you from enjoying it.

"Yay, I got 100 rupees! Hugs! Kisses!"

I guess it's a tad kiddy and wholesome, but still darned good fun

Now, where are those Werther Originals?
