Zelda Goes Casual?

Oh please Shigeru is no fool.

He realises that if Nintendo is going to fullfill the prophecy of the great revival certain actions must be taken.

If Video games evert hope to become as widely enjoyed, and respected as movies, books, or Television that it must become widely accessible.  That's the Wiimote is so simply designed and still capable of intricate control methods.  It must trancend the niche of game lovers completely and become not a hobby or what have you, but rather it needs to develop into full blown iconography.  It needs to become synonymous with the world at large.  So readily available to anyone with eyesight and opposable thumbs that it becomes a mainstay in society.  The industry must be so carefully woven into our identity it becomes parodied by those left over rags that keep making the Scary Movie Re-hashes, that when they make a movie based off a game they choose a game with a deeper plot than Doom or House of the Dead and they get someone who knows what their doing, that the men and women who gave us countless hours of enjoyment get interviewed on more than just G4 and the nerds that make 34% of Spike TV.

Now quite your whining and thank whatever diety you pray to that Miyamoto is here.

Why the hell should we?  Why must video games evolve beyond a "hobby"?  They're fine as being a hobby.  It doesn't appeal to everyone, but neither does baseball cards, model trains, and other hobbies.   The gaming industry won't die if it doesn't become woven in our sad, pathetic lives like television has.  It has a niche that it fills perfectly, so I don't see why it needs to expand beyond that, and in doing so, leaving behind what brought them to this point in the first place.

If video games are destined to become what television is, I'd rather have never seen them come to be.

Well, it'd be nice if there was a challenge now and then. *looking at YOU Mario Galaxy*

You want gaming to be as ingrained as tv., movies, and books? So you want gaming to be a flaming pile of trash filled with nothing but money hungry corporations with no desire to give people what they really want and will mindwash those stupid enough to fall for it? *looks at Wii and the third party games for it*...oh wait >_<
(Also, if was meant to be "accessable" the Wii wouldn't cost $250 and the Wiimote would do what it was supposed to do instead of milking more money out of us for the WMP)
Sorry to sound ninnyy, but in all honesty Nintendo has made some *ahem* "questionable" decisions the last year or so...
