Miyamoto clearly doesn't seem to care about the public opinion of his games... which is both why they are so unique and almost always great, and why in the last few years Nintendo has been falling farther and farther behind...
No, WW's look clearly is accepted in Japan... but still, the game didn't sell as well there as it should have... like Metroid here -- the game was great and people loved the look, but it sold poorly... or Eternal Darkness...
Nintendo has problems everywhere, and it just can't be all blamed on graphics or game styles... but it is a part of it, of course. Other problems account for the rest of the reason they are behind.
Yeah. Riiiight.... that statement there is just so dumb that I don't know how to begin...
Umm... so wanting them to make games that would be immediately accepted in the western world is a terrible idea that kills innovation? Do you honestly believe that? Its absurd... completely ridiculous. It would help fore them to at least make an effort at it... though much better marketing and doing more to change the not too good public opinion of Nintendo needs to be done too...
Um, I just don't see how you think that people hate it just because its different... I don't know who you are referring to there, honestly. It sure doesn't have anything to do with why I don't like the graphics in WW... as I've explained way too many times and won't do again right now.

Quote:The cel-shaded look has been well-received in Japan, but not in the western world. If Nintendo were to take your advice then their innovation would all but dissapear, and then all we would be left with are graphical improvements over past games.

Quote: It's very unfortunate the so many people in this country can't stand anything new and original, but I'd rather see Nintendo die trying to enliven the industry with innovative and original titles than see the market continue down this stale and repetitive path.
