Then I suppose they should know that I despise anime/manga in general.

Kingdom Hearts. It started bad and got worse.

Pokemon. I mean, how many of them are there now? I lost count at 251.

Everything is better with guns. They gave Sonic guns and even that didn't work. Sonic is far far past his prime and should be put to sleep.

WWII Call of Duty games. They're extremely tired.

i agree.

And Medal Of Honour games.

Nintendo.

Everything they have done has been the same game photocopied over and over, adding a slight graphic update every time they do.

After playing Modern Warfare 2, i honestly can't see myself wanting to play a WW2 game ever again.

That, and the fact that the beach from private ryan and pearl harbour were both recreated nicely in Medal of Honour...

For the record, I was saying that Mario, Sonic, Megaman etc. shouldn't die off, just in case there was any misunderstanding.

Fair 'nuff then.

Nintendo's a company, not a franchise first of all, and if everything they did was... what you said, I would've stopped playing their games a long long time ago..... You're right when it comes to some portion of their stuff though, I'll give you that.

😐.

~ Also, Need For Speed needs to die. The last good game they made was probably Most Wanted. The ones after that were just utter crap. Undercover looked alright but was crap.
No idea how Shift is though.

Mega Man. Capcom has spent 22 years trying to recapture the magic of the first 4 NES games and V Gameboy games and haven't managed to in the least with the exception of the Genesis remakes.

Sonic the Hedgehog. Same reason. Peaked too soon. After Sonic CD and Sonic 2, everything seems like a pale imitation at best with Sonic 3 and Knuckles (the full game that was meant to be) coming closest to recapturing that feel.

Contra. Contra 4 was the only good game they've made since the alien wars. Even rebirth kind of sucks.

Ghosts and Goblins. It was never good, just a waaaay too hard quarter eater that somehow made it to home consoles.

I guess if you were to compare the newer games to the very first Sonic Adventure than sure they don't even come close but I still think the series retains that same charm that it's always had.

What charm? It is gone downhill badly. Not a single game after SA 2 was worthy of a grade above 5 out of 10.
The plot, the new characters, the gameplay, the glitches, its sad now.

Chronicles was good. Though the rest (after SA2 that is) were aweful. I couldn't even force myself through Unleashed's first Werehog level. And I haven't even had the will to attempt Sonic and the Black Knight.

I actually enjoyed the ZX games. It reminded me a bit of the X series which was my favorite (Well, ok. 1-3. X started going downhill at 4 and crashed at 6...). And I also really enjoyed the Legends games.

That's simply not true, atleast not for all. Some, yes. My main problem with Nintendo is the Wii and the fact that it has become nothing more than a money-grabbing gimmick with the occasional bone thrown to the hardcore. Could've been a good system, if they had decent number of good games on it.

How about we have a first person zelda or a third person zelda in which years after (one of the many) links has hooked up with zelda she is killed by the evil gannon and a more mature link exacts vengeance upon the forces of evil resulting in an expulsion of gannon from the kingdom of hyrule.

I've just written a new zelda game. Don't get me wrong, I like zelda, but the new ones I play are the same as the old ones with a graphical update. It follows a basic formula:
Princess gets kidnapped, while link gets incapacitated or floats away on a boat. Link must put together a collection that makes an artifact that can defeat the kidnapper and then uses it (for an another story ark, they have a 50/50 chance of turning her into stone!)

Same thing with mario. and ssb, etc.

4 was alright imo. Though I found it weird (graphically) at first, I got used to it. I still prefer the crisp and sharp sprites of the SNES games though. I wish Zero (in X4) had had his buster, particularly the one that appeared in X3.
5 is where it started to blow over imo. With the 4 armor parts and the time limit and what not.

Played the Z series? Pretty good I must say. 1 was good, 2 was meh, but 3 was pretty great.

I've played a bit of the first one, but never really had a chance to get in to it.

She actually dies while link is incapacitated in this one. Then he works with her spirit in order to save Hyrule from an evil flying train-ghost... thing... Does that count? 😛

I think Contra can stand to be put out of its misery at this point.
