Im not trying to bash the wii but out of concern for us nintendo fans how much longer are we going to be stuck with the flood of ports and recycled games? I mean we have wiiplay games like pikmin and mario tennis soon to hit shelves, And to be honest games like RE4 and the twilkight princess arent all that different from this wii play idea. On top of that im playing games like mario kart wii and animal crossing and seeing some new stuff but nothing all that new. Now I know u need to stick to the sucessful formula but I was honestly expecting more from animal crossing wii and mario kart SSBB. It just leads me to wonder what nintedo is going to do later this gen when every last gen game has been made wiiplay or even what they plan to do next gen? I mean I dont want to see a port from 2 gens ago being played off as a new title and full priced game. Anyways on a lighter note I hope nintendo pushes more in the innovative direction of super mario galaxy for all our sakes.

Mario Kart Wii was a legitmate new title. Zelda Twilight Princess was a port, but it was a much needed hardcore launch title. Super Smash Bros Brawl is a completley new game. Resident Evil 4 is Capcom not Nintendo, and it was a decent upgrade since it had the features from the PS2 version which alot of gamecube owners missed out on. Other than that your complaints about Animal Crossing and the 'Play on Wii' games are legit.

The "new play control" have got such a bad rap. "Oh, they're just re-using games". Sure, but Nintendo realizes that the Wii has had much greater success than the Gamecube so now they're trying to get a little more mileage out of the good games that were on the GC. Everyone who ignored the GC is getting a second chance. Third party devs need to step up.

When Nintendo only pursued improved graphics a little bit and decided to attract new people to games rather than to please people that already were into them, that's when you knew they would never strive for anything better than what they had already attained.

Animal Crossing will always have little toony people and animals with very little detail and blockish character models. You will never see realistic humanoid characters in that game, and never see any real story or 'God-game' choices in a game like that, because Nintendo has decided that is all Animal Crossing can ever be. We are never going to find out more about Mario's life, and never get to see him clean up the streets of Brooklyn because Nintendo has decided that all of his adventures will take place in Mario-world, and we should never bother questioning what happened to Bowser and Donkey Kong's kids because they aren't in the latest games anymore. Nintendo wants to do pretty much the same thing over and over again with a few new things here and there, and charge the launch price of all of their games for the first 5 years the game is on store shelves.

I'm not gonna argue about Animal Crossing since I've never played it and it doesn't look appealing to me. But are you kidding me about Mario? You want a Mario game with detailed plot developments taking place in Brooklyn? Oh come on, please. When has mario ever been about the plot? Mario has always been about gameplay and fantastic level design. Not just that, but all the mario games are different from one another as well. Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, and Galaxy are much less similar than Halo 1/2/3 or Fable 1/2, or most other franchise sequels. Give me Mario in space anyday.

I agree. Nintendo needs to create some new IP's that don't begin with "Wii".

True. Nintendo needs some new quality IPs, but should of course continue to make quality games in their traditional franchises.

Nintendo realy isn't doing enough with AC!

AC:CF deserved the average scores it was getting from critics left and right! Gamespots tagline sums that game up the best:

"City Folk offers more of the same Animal Crossing gameplay that you know and love, with the emphasis on "same."

That game was a big letdown!

Nintendo has been using old stuff for a while now and i really want to see something new or at least make new games for already popular franchises with some new aspects
i don't expect them to re-invent the wheel with something it just has to be good

Heres an idea guys, how about trying a new IP NOT made by Nintendo. You know other companies make games right? And to the TC how could you compare Twilight Princess which was a brand new game that was released on multiple platforms and hell even RE4 had new modes from the GC version to things like Pikmin and Mario Tennis which only have motion controls. And that comment about Mario was just stupid thats all I can say, hey why do it in Brooklyn why not do it Wyoming or South Beach maybe in the Gamestop office. He can stomp reviewers who didnt give him a perfect score in his last game.
