[QUOTE="bavelb, post: 68683, member: 358"] Myea you see, nothing of those really spark any sort of "I wish I had played that". Probably because mainland europe (unlike Brittain) was much more in touch with Ninty-stuff. Everyone here had a NES or gameboy. I played Virtua tennis, fighter, crazy taxi and most mainstream stuff (although I never liked anything sonicrelated), but generally was quite underwhelmed. This is no reflection on those games'quality but rather my personal taste.My heart starts pounding faster when someone mentions Super Mario Bros 2 or 3, Super Mario World, Castlevania, Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Super Metroid or Metroid Prime :) Hardware wise they take plenty of risks (in fact I think they overplayed their hand with Wii-U this time, the 3DS had a close call but got saved before it really flatlined, I own neither mind you), but the whole motion control shenanigans are completely not for me (I still need to get over that hump so I get to play Skyward Sword with it) but yea...software wise they are too conservative. I love all sorts of games, but certain games like Zelda and Metroid gave you this feeling of novelty mechanics, combined with exploration and cleverness that no Nintendo games have approached lately. The games that come closest to that sense of wonder I feel are games like Bioshock (1 and 3, still need to play 2), Portal (1,2)and Demon's/Dark Souls (basically my top 5 of this generation right there). And to a lesser degree the Zelda-molded Okami and Darksiders. [/QUOTE]
