Nintendo games appear to be getting shorter. I have no idea why Nintendo are doing this. The main reason is to shorten the length of time gamers have to wait for new games to come out. But isn't it better to have a game that lasts long and is worth the money then have short waits for new games to come out. Don't get me wrong Nintendo are the most awesome company ever and I have pre ordered my gamecube already but games like Luigis Mansion and Tony hawk 3 are all a little short. But other companies like Sega and Sony have done this too. Metal Gear Solid 2 was also quite short. But there are also some long lasting games too right.

at first I agreed. hopefully i thought that they were just short so that they are out in time to be launch games, starfox is comin' out three weeks later and is supposed to be massive!

but then i think of super mario 64, that was a launch game and no-one ( exept maybe dark child,) could deny is a huge game. and theres banjo+kazio and perfect dark.

and then my brain struggled to think maybe good old ninty were just tryin to give us fans their moneys worth in game leanth.

in conclusion, it is too early to know wether they will all be short or not
