To all Nintendo gamers, including myself, I hate to be the one to admit it, but I fear that our so-called Game creating god is losing his touch. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Mario and Zelda. I'm just worried about the future. To me, it looks like we're going downhill.
In the past, we've had remarkable creations from Shigsy. There has been Mario, Donkey Kong and Zelda, all of which have remained with Nintendo for many years. Super Mario 64 - fantastic, Zelda; Ocarina of Time - possibly the best game on Earth. But it's been a very long while since we have seen other titles as successful as these.
Not long ago, Luigi's Mansion was released. A brave step was taken to put Luigi in the spotlight and change the whole game scenario. Unfortunately, Luigi's Mansion didn't do as well as it was supposed to. Many gamers complained that it became repetetive and was ridiculously short. Apparantly you can complete it in 6 hours.
Recently, we have had Pikmin. Using a completely new concept of gaming and characters, many fans were attracted. Even though it's great, like Luigi's Mansion it's too short. You can complete it in 8 hours. the majority have found this depressing.
What's going on? Why are these games so short?
Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin do not square up to Super Mario 64 and Zelda; Ocarina of time. At least we still have Mario Sunshine and the new Zelda to look forward to. The fact that the Zelda game now looks like a paper cut-out is the least of my worries. I am just hoping that the Mario and Zelda games last longer than 8 hours.
