Seriously, you guys just loving believe Nintendo is the loving holy grail of video game companies. They keep pumping out stuffty consoles with terrible gimmicks that no self-respecting gamer would buy. After that's done, they make the same Zelda/Mario/Pokemon game over and over and you guys call them loving geniuses for stealing your money. They had some great ideas back in the day, but now they are milking the nostalgia dollar to stuff
People actually play and like the new games of an old serie.
Pokemon is just stretched out IMO though, so i agree on that point, but the zelda games are like a long story, they keep adding to it, though the general idea behind the games stay around the same.
This is done because it proves to be working and fun for some people.
I like most of the zelda games as well.
I have only played some, but i like every one of them and even would love to play some that i haven't.
I cannot say the same for the pokémon serie, as well as the lego series (not nintendo, but basically the same story, too much of the same).
