All of that looked great! I'm glad the fans have something to hype on now. Also... I may pick this up when It comes out... oh, who am I kidding? I WILL.
At first, I hated this game series. The controls, camera and depth turned me off... until my brother took the first plunge (thank GOD for him) and showed me the ropes. Now, We've bought it 3 times... one for each of our 3DSs, and one for the Wii U. Why? Because of the above... controls, camera, and depth. I became the character... but all because of skill, not hand holding.
GAH!! I need to go there... ah well, At least I can see all those pictures... funny fact: when I lived in Japan, I found out about Monster Hunter... and it was and still is HUGE.
We can all debate over what Nintendo SHOULD do, but what WILL it do?
It's missed the hardcore market. So what, Casual has a broader audience. So how can they add to that audience without alienating the Hardcores as well?
Answer: Smash bros. , Mario Kart, Diet F-Zero, Zelda.
Nintendo... still my fav. First Party, and this year affirmed why.
The Jan. Direct set the pace, lots of great stuff on the way, paving the path for the 3DS.
Fire Emblem, Pokemon, M&L, and many more made us glad to be 3DS owners, then halfway through the year, the Wii U got it's chance to shine.
SSB4, X, Mario Kart, Zelda, and Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin... the things we needed. People may have slandered Nintendo... but the big N came back with more.
Now, 2014 is ahead... and has given us hope for the future. Let Nintendo drive into the new year, for the industry, for marvelous games, for Auld Lang Syne!
So let them get to back to kicking butt, let them get back to taking names, and let NINTENDO get back to making games!
