Hope you get there someday, sincerely. Spirit Tracks are one of my favorite Zelda games along with Phantom Hourglass. I think it is amazingly simple, the controls on that game define what touch screen controls should be like (and I wonder if any mobile game designer has ever played that game, since that is the way games should be played on a touchscreen and so many mobile games have such awkward controls).

I didn't mean to imply you are a child, not even insult you. What I meant is that opinions are just opinions, and unfortunately we can change very little of what Nintendo is doing by simply pointing fingers. I got over the Wii U, the system was truly a missed opportunity for Nintendo, and now it won't gain anymore market, even with games like Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. Bringing GBA and DS won't help either. Nintendo seem to lose focus very quickly, and the lost of money they are suffering with the Wii U seems to be flowing negatively over the company, I don't know. I really miss Nintendo from the Super NES and GameCube days. They can come back with a bang, and they should, but they are really not looking for what gamers and consumers want from the system now. Nintendo should be aware that they have to cast every classic on their machines, and get some sequels and new games too. They are not doing either, and that's what's hurting them. Every console should have Metroid (Prime and 2D), F-Zero, Zelda, Pilotwings, Wave Race, Zelda (in both Ocarina and Link to the Past/between Worlds form), and all the others, but still missing a proper sequel to Mario 64 and Sunshine, both Mario games that defined the systems they were on. Having Sega under their wing would be amazing if they could team up to bring great Sega classics and exclusives. Imagine if Shen Mue 3 was a Wii U exclusive?

I think, and that's only my opinion, that Nintendo is not thinking right when it comes to the Wii U. It is still trying to push it as a big 3DS, when it's not. The Gamepad may be a great idea for some, but form the great majority of players, it is a wall between them and the system, and Nintendo knows it. Pretty much like MS knows that Kinect sucks.

I hope they don't take too long to release the Fusion. Nintendo has to enter the market of new gen systems quickly, and with a bigger and better machine than PS4 and Xbox One. And simply care about their games and start innovating from there, starting making new and great games. Because Nintendo is losing ground, and the more they wait, the more difficult will become for them to convince players they still have what it takes to go against titans like Tomb Raider, The last of us, Halo, Uncharted, Batman and some more. Have you played Alan Wake? That's Luigi's Mansion. Have you played Tomb Raider? That's Zelda. Uncharted? That's Mario. Batman is Metroid and Castlevania. Last of us is the best RE we have never played by Capcom. Do you get me? Not that Nintendo have to grow up this much and turn every character into an adult, but they should consider evolve their games. Can you play Halo and not think for one second that it's not Prime? Nintendo has to look for themselves to inspiration, but also look around and look forward. Some of the most traditional Japanese companies have lost their touch because they are still looking back. Kojima recently acknowledged that he was way more impressed with GTA 5 and the upcoming The Division that he was with his own game, stating that he wished MGS5 could be that good. If that's happening, that is something to be worried about.

Again, good luck with your game designer career. If ever see a Legend of Zelda: Ghost of the Tower, I'll be very pleased to play it.
