Nintendo hasnt exactly had that problem this time, so it should be good :)
I hope you were kidding, since there was absolutely nothing "rushed" about TWW :)
3 dungoens missing (one blatently so), and the fetch-quests used to replace them say otherwise.

If TWW was *designed* to only have the number of puzzles ect from the word go, it would be a 15 hour game. (nothing wrong with that, Beyond Good and Evil I loved).

Instead its a 15 hour game which Nintendo got panicking about and chucked in a load of quick-to-do modifications to make it longer.

TWW should have had the same delays Ocarina had, then it might have been the best Zelda game ever.
As it stands, its simerla to sunshine. Nice ideas, wonderfull graphics, and great controlls, but lacking in substance that other games did.

(*edit* Not saying its as""bad"" as sunshine, just to be clear. I only think they suffered in simerla ways)
I've noticed nintendo games tend to go like that...

mario 1 - awesome
mario 2 - was originally another game, they just redid the graphics
mario 3 - awesome
supermarioworld - a step down from mario 3 in a lot of ways.
yoshi's island - awesome
yoshi's story - WTF??
super mario 64 - awesome
sunshine - far too small...
I made a deviantart page.

Super Mario Galaxy: Spoiler

This reveals the ending and what you get for 100%ing the game. Really, seriously, do not click unless you want to know...

http://www.thetanooki.com/2007/11/01/ga ... -revealed/

Those who clicked will agree with the smile on my face, those who don't learn it before they earn it will be glad they didn't. It's not a new game, or a free game, or anything, but it is a very nice touch.

Super Mario World wasn't necessarily inferior to SMB3, but it wasn't half as revolutionary. It was an evolutionary update, like the SNES itself. Yoshi's Island was the real star.

Thats a good way of putting it.
Something can be better in an absolute sense without being as revolutionary. (which is really a relative measure).

How exactly are you doing this? I'm not a pirate and buy all my music and software but I would maybe be interested in trying wii games before wasting any more of my hard earned monies.
