There is only 1 reason people buy Mario and Zelda games anymore, and it's not because they are good. They are rehashed crap and are only bought because of the name.

No, not really. I like Mario and Zelda games and that's one of the reasons I bought say, Super Mario 3D World but I also bought it because it looked like something I would enjoy. Something I didn't get was Hyrule Warriors because I wasn't sure about it but after playing the demo I can say I want it now. The name doesn't matter to me it's weather or not I like the game. That's why Shovel Knight is great for me, new name great game! ;D And as for the rehashed thing, what exactly would any of us do with the games? Making the games too different makes fans upset. Look at Luigi's Mansion when it released, met with mixed reviews and some really bad ones because it was a DEPARTURE from the Mario formula. When a company tries something too different people don't know what to think (an example is really the WiiU on release). People end up upset when the formula is the same and upset when it is different but many of them make snap judgments and never actually PLAY the games. We just need to get the games that we enjoy and try the ones we don't and THEN make a judgement. That's why Nintendo Power played the games and the reviewed them. Not saying that you do but that seems to be what happens a lot.

No I don't do that. I actually own a Wii U. I have played all these games. I've not like a console zelda game since the SNES. The new Mario games are ok that's about it.
I'm not going to judge something that I have loved doing/playing/collecting for the last 25 years badly without trying it out first.

TDIRunner:
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. At this point, I'm really only interested in Nintendo for their first party software. With that said, there is enough of it to warrant purchasing their system. I don't believe Nintendo is trying to complete with Microsoft or Sony. They are trying to create and sell systems that stand on their own regardless of what exists in the competition. The Wii achieved this perfectly. The Wii U, not as much, but still enough for me to want to purchase one.

I wasn't saying that you did. I was just ranting about people who do lol. ;D

Retro Deckades:
It's all a moot, really. A lot of the arguments presented thus far can be applied to any of the currently available systems. Case in point:

Though it may not have as many games as either the PS4 or 360, quantity does not equal quality. Depending on the types of games you enjoy playing, the Wii U may have the best library available.

I am curious to hear which games on the XBOX One and the PS4 that people consider great? It seems like there has been a drought of software all around this generation.
