That works except cookies aren't video games.

In fact, video games are considered by many an art now.

If you apply that analogy to other arts, such as movies or fictional books... It suggests stuff like Twilight being better than Gone With the Wind, since one romance is newer than the other. It makes absolutely no sense.

You might want to take off the jade shades there, they're making your opinions look more jaded than our nostalgia goggles make ours look fanboyish. I personally think OoT is rather overrated, and that yes, newer Zelda games are better, but OoT isn't BAD. It's still enjoyable in a modern setting. I only played it the first time about 2 years ago, and I still had fun.

See, games aren't like cookies. What matters the most is if you can have fun with the game. Not if the game holds well when compared to more modern titles. If you can go back and still have fun with a game, then that means it's good! Furthermore, games being fun is subjective. You're trying to say, objectively, they're bad. You're trying to apply your opinion as fact, which is wholly incorrect.

Sure, Ninty might be money first, but they're also taking gambles to give better products to make said money. Sony and Microsoft do the exact same damn thing. Microsoft took a gamble redoing the controller from the Xbox to the 360 as much as Nintendo did going from a classic pad to a remote. Sony took a gamble by trying to use expensive new technology to produce higher-quality games to sell its product. Of course it's marketing, but in order to market anything they have to spend time and money to research if the outcome is actually fun and will sell. It's more than actually looking good, as Kinect sales have shown us, it actually has to be fun to a broad audience if you want it to do well.

Plus, Miyamoto is totally in it for game making, not for money.

Oh, and about skyward sword, have you even used a Wii Motion Plus to swordfight? Doesn't sound like it. Try it before forming an opinion, or you're no worse than the "fanboys" who decry your opinions.
