They are only a generation behind if the only thing you consider to be important is graphics.

my thoughts exactly!!!!!!!

Reading down the comments there appears to be a lot of Nintendo fan boys who are loyal to Nintendo (NO MATTER WHAT) and who need to take their tongues out of Nintendo's ring piece and consider things for a second.

I think all you Nintendo fan boys need to take you tongue out of Nintendo's ring piece and consider things for a second.

I am relaxed. would just prefer it if they invested all this time into a new title.

generally speaking I am all for updating the graphics on ported/ updated versions of games.

agreed. mist effect is far stronger in the orig.

has anyone considered that the 3DS or similar succesor could BE THE CONTROLLER?? that would be a pretty cool and bold move by nintendo. cheeky little firmware update to the machine, and bang! controller with screen and cameras....

the 3DS was rushed out 6 months too early due to pressure from the powers that even nintendo have to occasionally bow too. earthquake or no, this slow start was always going to happen.

true. I have no ill will against rare at all. quite the opposite. particularly during the n64 era i would say they created some of my favourite games ever.

Rare's undoing began the day they decided to stop making games for nintendo machines. the only title they have made since the nintendo days that even comes close to their past greatness is the first Viva pinata.

friends of my parents have three young boys. probably about 10 - 13 years younger than myself. at there house for the evening once at a party really boared when i was about 18-19. I proceeded to unlocked all the secret characters on smash bros melee for them. they had no idea they were even on the game. suddenly i was…

All this needs now is a laser that follows you too and they have succesfully invented the "Beamos" enemies from the Zelda games.

so same game as DS but higher res textures...

I am a player of both halo and COD. I rarely even plug my mic in on xbox live. as a neutral fan of both games i would say that trolling and dick heads in general are much much much more common on COD nowadays. i can't remember the last time i played a game of COD where there wasn't a c*nt in the game.

@SmashleyBashley: Actually I would disagree with this statement completely, Graphics have little to no relation to immersion in a videogame whatsoever. If i think about the hours I have spent immersed in a game of tetris... I Feel no more immersed in any game I play on a current gen console as i did playing a game on…

I Don't think any of the improvements shown in the featured screenshots would actually improve my enjoyment of a game in any substantial manner whatsoever.

agreed

I Tottally agree. All of my favourite protagonists have basically been mute. I tend to find that the ol' cliche that "actions speak louder than words" really applies to main characters.

I Couldn't agree more. If the softwares only function is to look like a convincing fire place then its shouldn't resemble something from mario 64.
