They do target you still, it has just become cool to be anti Nintendo. Or anti whoever is doing the best, like when Sony's PS2 was owning a decade ago.

KingHippo, you've hit the nail on the head man. That is how I feel every time I see people groaning about "formula" with every Nintendo franchise, meanwhile every other franchise in gaming history with exception of Metal Gear, changes less from game to game than Metroid, Mario, or Zelda.

I'm surprised the PS2 sold enough to be on the chart.... wow.

I know I am coming to this discussion months late, I wanted to get my fill of Skyward Sword before reading any reviews thoroughly. Although this conversation is dead, I feel the need to chime in.

Dude, go play Skyward Sword. How is that game the same formula? You can barely count how many dungeons there are in the game. The formula has changed more than the formula for ANY other game.

Looking at the list of all of these Zelda games, I think we should all take a moment to point out that there is no other series of anything (movies, books, music), aside from Mario, that has been consistently good and arguably gotten better that has lasted 25 years.

Dear Stephen,

On a side note, I have a special message for Brian. You and Steve Totilo need to make sure this Saturday that game of the year isn't given to a game whos ps3 version is unplayable. Hint Hint.

Don't be shy guys. He is without question the greatest game designer of all time. If someone deserves a title, lets make sure they get it.

I bet Miyamoto is super excited to see this today, on his 59th Birthday!

Lets all agree that even if this is the worst Zelda game ( which it definitely isn't) even if it is, Zelda games are still better than 99 percent of other games even at its worst.

Hey Stephen, explain to me how this add-on is a gimmick ? From an objective point of view?

This is a " half- hearted" hardware add-on because of how it looks? Seriously Brian ?

Lets also not forget that you dont need to buy this thing. Even if you really want to play the games that use it, no one is making you buy anything. There is no reason to be constantly mad about pricing or anything of the like. If you guys are so pissed, then dont buy the system, dont buy the games, dont buy the add…

I thought about it some more and reread your article, and you are right about this. My mistake, I was wrong.

Stephen, my friend, I understand your viewpoint. You feel that the original Zelda should always be free. I understand.

Hey, are you guys going to give the 3DS selling 235,000 units in August its own post or do you guys only give the bad stuff its own headline and post?

Stephen, I know this is anti Nintendo month, where you guys need to spice up the journalism with unfavorable opinions but isn't this a bit of a stretch?

Uncharted is over rated. The story and dialogue are so corny. I like games that are fun to play, not fun to watch. Uncharted is fun to play but the dialogue and cut scenes didn't add to the experience.
