I've always been more of a Zelda guy to be honest. A Mario game hasn't made me go OMG since Yoshi's Island, although Super Mario Sunshine gets kudos. Fuck Mario 64 and that stupid GO HERE AND GET THE STAR bullshit.

Castlevania does Metroid better than Metroid, plus it has vampire hookers and shit.

Not in Belmont's hottest wettest dreams does it.  Zero Mission spanks Dawn of Sorrow. 

Hey Konami, Let me swing up plz!

3d games should have a jump button.

Only if it is needed within the design of the rest of the game.  If you design well, a jump button isn't really needed.  I never find myself wishing I could jump in a 3d Zelda.  On the other side, I asked myself if Okami had a jump button.. and evenetually remembered it did.  The thing is, it didn't matter enough that I immediatly thought about it, I had to remember that I can jump to hit air enemies in Okami.  In Zelda I use boomerang/arrow for air enemies.  It matters in relevance to the game surrounding it.  If there was no boomerang or arrows, a lack of jump button would hurt. As it is, the game world surrounding the character works without a jump button.

I like the Warcraft and Diablo series and the lore behind it. I've always been more of a PC gamer though.

And believe me, I am hardly a graphics whore, but I do have standards, and I know Nintendo can make very good looking games.  OoT was great looking in its day.  WW is still astounding and unique looking.  TP is, at best, extremely uneven.  I expect Nintendo's flagship titles to be the best looking on their systems, and TP doesn't even stack up as an impressive looking GC game.

TP was a far too ambitious game to do justice on last gen hardware.

Although I think TP is a fuck awesome game, and I do think it looks beautiful at many parts, there are some very uneven areas.

By the way, Nintendo's teams have never really been top tier with their graphics from a technical perspective (unless you count Retro, I suppose).

I thought Metroid Prime looked kinda weak from a technical perspective -- the art direction was great, but the tech was meh.

Sega outclassed Nintendo on its own fucking console with F-Zero GX.

You're probably right, just seemed that way I guess.
