Anyone who is knocking on Zelda new style has not palyed it.

It is unvelievable. To date the most beautiful 3D game i have ever seen.
It honestly doesn't look like polygons, it looks like an animated cartoon.
And it is stilll very much Zelda. Go to a local gamestop and play the demo, choose the boss fight option, that should change your mind (god is that thing huge).

As for Metroid, all i can say is wow. Definatly one of the best games i played, transitioned into the 3D realm so well. I was even more impressed because while the game had story, it didn't have a super lot of it, and no dialog, which is what usually keeps me in, but the second i saw Ripley, man i knew i was hooked.

I applaude Nintendo for the originality. And heck, i liked Mario Sunshine, i wasn't long and it wasn't that new, but it had some parts that were pretty impresive. none of you can tell me that you breezed part all those bonus platforming levels on the first try.....
