Another baffling comment I see thrown around a lot on here. As if that is the only games on the other systems not on Nintendo.



You are misreading this. This has nothing to do with quality.

All I mean is take Madden for instance. The goal is to replicate Football year after year. The goal is realism, that means, at the core, Madden can't really change. It would be unfair to say "Well, Madden isn't really as good as Zelda because it doesn't do anything new."

It isn't, because it literally can't be designed to be. That comparison doesn't work. It is the same game year after year on purpose, that's why it's hard to compare. Madden's greatness is going to be in how tightly it matches a real game of football, that's the goal. That's why it's hard to compare Madden to Zelda to Mario to Halo.

It's not like Zelda did anything new prior to this new game. If you played Ocarina of Time, you've literally played every other Zelda made up to a couple weeks ago.

I just don't get why Madden is even in the discussion. There are a ton of other games out there.
