Just read an interview with the mighty shigsy in which he stated that nintendos games in future will probably be shorter in length than most n64 games.
Now admitidely he did'nt say which games he meant but luigis mansion is very short and he did hint at mario sunshine following the same trend.
The reason for this seems to be that apparently most of the games playing public dont finish the game and that that portion of the game is then deemed to be a waste of time that could have been spent making another game.
I dont know about you but i am on quite a tight budget and I would like my game to last a-while or at least have some replayability like zelda oot it took me three months to complete great stuff never felt i had been cheated out of my £45.
But will I feel the same when I complete my £40 game in just a few hours play.
No i will be gutted and will be going straight to part ex it for another that hopefully gives me some value for my money.
Any way I hope I am wrong and we see some real epics that blow us all away just like the zelda games on n64.
Fingers crossed eh?

I really hope not GHOUL, cos i would be gutted if i was to buy a game that last's only a few hours.I would like the games that i buy to last more than that.There's nothing like getting your teeth into a game that not only looks good but keeps you hooked for weeks.
Nintendo like to make you feel tiny in comparison to the wide open spaces inside some games like zelda.it makes you feel like you've
had an adventure instead of a game thats as short as a demo.
