Erm... well... in the interview they said that they were trying to surprise fans with something new. So they're trying to stray away from the rehash image. And as far as getting excited for something new... yeah. When the news that something new is coming I'll read it and form an opinion and fuel the hype. But I'm not going to pretend to not like something just because it's a sequel in a series. I would like Zelda to continue. I like the plot formula and the characters. Ports I agree with you on, to an extent. But essentially you're almost asking Nintendo to end the Mario/Zelda/Metroid series. That's just not right.

Isn't there already a topic about this?

Sony's Stringer is a stupid asshole-
News: PS3 games "infinitely more fun" than Wii - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

"PlayStation 3 will come into its own because its [high-end games] are infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting"

oh god onion much? Next time someone says Reggie is arrogant, remember, Stringer.

he informed attendees at a Sony press conference that he is "happy the Wii seems to be running a bit short of hardware"

HAHAHA what an asshole. Sony's image to me is so unprofessional, they sound like their fans instead of talking to the market.

Happy the wii is selling out as soon as it hits the shelves for a year+? After having ramped up production 3 times? Retarded.

Quotes without showing their context are always fun.

What do you expect him to say?

"Our games are just as good as our competitors"

um.....where did i "essentially" say that? im pointing out that this is a path that ninty doesnt stray down very often, but a LOT of other companies do, and its a bad line to use. there is a HUEG difference between saying that TP is a spiritual sequel to OoT, and saying, "hey, we're going to do a LttP remake on the wii." one has a whole new plot in a world never before explored. the other is the EXACT same plot in a world we HAVE seen but now with a new coat of paint. imo its laziness, make something new, not necessarily a new IP, just something we havent already played before.

IMO, Zelda could definatley use a better storyline. Perhaps they should make a game in where Link and Gondoroff team up.

The best Storyline to come from Nintendo in the recent months goes to Battalion Wars 2.

Not yet, I remain skeptical. I'm still expecting something like a 75 average, 80 at best. Another 90, from a completely impartial magazine/site, and I'd probably raise my expectations.

Ew.

I'm thinking more something where Link gets temporarily captured and you have to use Zelda to save him. Role-reversal type of thing.
