  Ok, so the new/old/new Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D has come out and the world is reliving it's old favorite in a new way. BUT, is it really worth buying yet another Zelda game? I say it's up to you (The Player), but don't you think that Nintendo is milking their franchises a little too much? They might dry up and cause your eyes to bleed with stupidity.
  
  Seriously (I'm not dissing Nintendo... but) Nintendo hasn't really had a good new fresh game since Pikmin, and that game was kinda childish at that.
  
  Even though Nintendo said that they are working on Pikmin (either Pikmin 3 or the 10th year anniversary edition) for the Wii and Wii -U-, it still raises the question "Will it be worth my money?"
  
  Come to think of it... The new Zelda Ocarina of time 3d (i know its not really new) 'IS' on a hand-held device, Maybe if they put Pikmin Anniversary Edition on the 3DS and didn't screw up the 3D on it it would be worth it. And I understand that there are some DIE-HARD FANS of the Zelda Series out there just waiting for me to keel over and die due to this article/column. But I'm a skeptic on the Nintendo formula.
  
  What I want to ask you (the fantastic furry readers) is this, "Is Nintendo's 'Oldie Formula' still got some life in it? or is it going to bring down their new console (the Wii -U-) down like it did with the Wii?"

  Now i'm not to big
  --scratch that
  i hate anything after the Gamecube and GB - SP--
  but i think their 'Oldie' formula may still have some life in it
  
  the question is, How much? They are definitely chasing away customers with every new bit of shovelware that comes out for the wii --and no doubt will come out for the "Wii -U-"-- and they are locking in old players tight by bringing back games they forgot they loved. But that customer base is only so big -- Definitely not big enough to keep Nintendo afloat -- And even then, these old gamers will still eventually ''Get Fed up" with being fed the same reheated Meat loaf week after week.
  If they want to Stay up above water, They're going to have to come up with something quick.

  To be honest, I don't mind them milking out the series, but I agree, this franchise is getting a bit old.
  I'm honestly starting to stop becoming interested in games nowadays cause they're never new or innovative.
  Metroid is still samus slowly upgrading to prepare for some final bass
  Zelda is still dungeon dungeon dungeon dungeon final boss
  Final Fantasy is still GRINDGRINDGRINDGRINDBOSSGRINDGRINDGRIND
  and other franchises have nothing new to offer! Portal was -in my opinion- the crown glory of current-day innovation to gaming.
  Nintendo has nothing to offer, their systems don't compare to the others, and all their franchises have slowly died. In my opinion Nintendo needs to get out of the systems race and focus on their franchises if they want to get anywhere. Maybe not even focus on their current franchises, maybe make an entirely new game.

  All good points. I was never really interested in Nintendo's gimmicky motion control schemes, and I hate that all of the other systems are trying to copy it. It's turning games into chucky cheese attractions. I agree that they should focus on content. I admit I don't know much about the Wii U.

  Well when nintendo remakes games new features are usually added in pokemon heartgold and soulsilver would be a good example. But don't worry with the new systems that nintendo plans to release I am sure we'll find what we are hoping for. BTW the 3DS is going to release an all new RE revealations If you could find a detailed reveiw it would be great ^^

  If you want my true critique on games here it is Xbox milks halo but halo is cool so it makes money sony PS Milks all FPSs in case no one could tell all FPSs today are the same low health no prob take cover for 3 seconds and heal. And I really dispise the carry only 2 weapons at a time WTF you can heal instanly but only carry a 9mm and a rifle how life like is that? I miss the old fassion FPSs were the health picups are scarce and in multiplayer if you if you have a hard battle you had to find health b4 someone kills your wounded but. Like Turok 1, 2, and 3 or Duke nukem and golden eye. and here in these new online games people take games way to serios like OMG he is a camper or he snuck up on me! I cannot help but laugh at these self proclaimed "core gamers" who can't take a loss. But I guess what I mean is there is nothing like reliving the classics but thats me ^^ btw games I recomend you look over are as follows the new MK, RE revealations, duke nukem forever, and Ledgend of Zelda skyward sword.
