That's contradiction of the masses. If something is EXACTLY the same as something else, say multiple CSI type shows, or Sitcoms about morons trying to get sex, you get bogged down and people don't care about them. You are oversaturated with the stuff, and feel enough is enough... however if you make a series that is bold and innovative, something that people have never seen before, they can't catch on to it. I'm saying, they're sick of the same type of games coming out over and over, but if something is too new, and has an awkward start, they can't and probably won't get into it.

You can do so many things with the old format of controllers... Wii's controls are interresting and new, but maybe Joe Gamer would avoid it.

I really should have made that more clear.

And I don't think anyone has anything to say to that Mecha. Zelda has always been more realistic than cartoony, and while Wind Waker is my favourite Zelda game, I'm more than prepared to enjoy Twilight Princess. There's a difference between realistic, mature games and trashy adult games.

Problem with my posts is I say too much, but I don't say enough at the same time.

What I meant is the so called Mainstream Gamers feel Nintendo is a Kid's toy (Similar to the Genisis vs. SNES battles of the 90's). The characters of Link, Mario, Kirby are cartoons to them. they want those GTA type games. But the Hard core fan gamers LOVE Nintendo. Link and Mario being the top two.

Now, Mainstream gamers are where the bigger money is. They don't buy as many GC's as the other consoles because they don't have that type of game they're looking for.

Not saying they're ALL bad, but it's like movies. There are good action films, and there are clones. The clones out number the originals. The trashier ones are invaritably wanna bees.

SO, less sales of GC, less sales of a GC Link game. that links it up back to the thesis of the game being rumored not to be sold for GC. Not enough money in it, and the system's popularity is fading.
