This is just a thread where you can discuss how each company could improve in your eyes. I'll do each company for the next 3 days and feel free to add any comment or improvement you wish.

My Nintendo Wish list

1. Make a whole new Online Structure. The wii's online interface is pathetic. It seems like the Wii is using an online structure from like the 1990's and needs to badly be updated. Take out the friend codes, Make every game have a universal friends list ala xbox live/psn and just make it better to use. It's so backwards instead of adding someone's name you add a 12 digit number. It is also awkward that each game has it's own friend code system. It's weird how the wii is made with casual players in mind but their online interface is by far the most difficult to use. Oh, and for gods sake add a mic/headset for voice chat.

2. 3rd party relationships need to improve: The 3rd party support on Wii is pathetic. When is the last AAA 3rd party game? So many casual trash games made by 3rd party. The wii is literally 3rd party's toilet in regards to software. Add some quality control, work with 3rd parties, just get better games and stop having these long droughts.

3. Add a HD sku to the wii: I am not saying Wii 2. I am saying add a wii with an improved processor and an hdmi out port. Scale games to 720p and even get developers option to make 720p games. I would pay another 50-100 bucks for an hd option on the wii.

Bottom line: Nintendo has made buttloads of money with the way the wii is now. Sooner or later microsoft/sony are going to start chipping in on the casual market. Nintendo will need long time fans to continue in this buisness. I rarely play my wii but with better software then the sky's the limit.

I agree with the first 2 but I disagree with the 2nd one because if they give developers the option to make games in 720p that will alienate all the people that didn't buy the Wii HD SKU.

They could make it like they did with the N64 ram packs. The games are playable but to enjoy them at full capacity you need the wii hd sku

1. More core focus centered around non-Nintendo fans.
2. More money spent on new IP.
3. Older IP resurrected with new ideas (F-Zero, Star Fox, etc.).
4. Levels of difficulty for games, especially Zelda, increased significantly.
5. Next console better be in the same realm of power as the N64 and GC for their time, or I won't even waste my time.
6. Another isometric Super Mario RPG.
7. Metroid: Dread; full 2D, Wii, side-scrolling Metroid: Fusion sequel... no 2.5D crap. Muramasa level art.
8. Super Mario Bros. 4 or Super Mario World 3 (i.e. not NSMB, but true, 2D sequels to the original SMB3 and SMW2YI, with all new stuff).

Call me demanding... but I've loved almost everything Nintendo's done up until this generation.

OwnallConsoles: Your number 1 is unrealistic. Nintendo doesn't pursue online for a reason: they have practically no experience and no resources in that sphere. I agree that this is a concern they might have for the future if they're planning to compete directly with the other consoles, but I'm not certain this is sensible from their perspective. Your number 2 is impossible. Nintendo cannot offer anything more valuable than their first party IPs and they're already doing that. Third parties and particularly, Western third parties are simply very hostile to them for reasons that they cannot undo now. The ball is in the other court. They've done as much as they can. Your number 3 is pointless. I do not care about resolution output. I care about processor power. I care about developers making the most of the hardware and not pushing it to the point where the game will look dated in two years. The Wii could have the power of a PS2 and it'd still be okay if the game library was that awesome. It is natural to expect a more powerful console for upgrade purposes, but it's not enough to be included in a wish list. For my part, I want Nintendo to not listen to games media and to gamer feedback. The last time they did that, we got Legend of Zelda: TP. I would rather they went their own way. Win or lose, whatever they come up with is going to be very unique, and I value that personality more than anything else. SMG2 is an example of what Miyamoto can do when unshackled, and if the price is a few Wii Musics along the way, I more than happy to pay.

Not so much towards Nintendo but...and I don't even know if this would be a bad thing but...

Make all consoles region-free. Considering that Japan likes to keep a lot of gems to itself, it'd be great to import stuff...like Tales of Graces...

I agree with number 1 I hate the wii's online system friend codes are last generation at BEST. It makes no sense why they couldn't put a decent coherent online system in it like the ps3 or 360. #2 is wrong because if you haven't been paying attention nintendos been getting a bunch of 3rd party support from the beginning ALOT more then on the gamecube. and they dont need a HD sku because tha would jack up the price of games and the system why would Nintendo want to do that when they've been selling just fine with the sku they have ??

Though DSi games aren't region free. I fear 3DS may not be either.

get the online sorted...thats about it. at the very least one friend code per system rather than per game if there going to stick to it. ideally though creating an account would be better and tie all the wiiware/VC purchases to the account rather than the console (people who had wiis and bought black wiis were in for a rude awakening on that front). same applies to the 3DS when it comes. as for the wii2....dont be as conservative with the hardware. no need to get back into the tech race.....but ensure the gap isnt as big. ideally make it as easy as possible for 3rd parties to port from other platforms to the wii2 and from the wii2 to other platforms. 3rd parties would really love that. besides that 3rd party relations remain good (if the wii was a PS3/360 clone and was sellign well then id imagine 3rd parties would also be releasing GTA and co on the wii). definately much better than the N64 and early GC days. and a wii HD is a pointless endeavour. may as well release a proper wii2 rather than a wii that upscales wii games.

But everyone knows blocky polygonal graphics are better than intricately detailed and animated sprites:P

meh i think its too late for the hd sku and quality 3rd part support (hardware limitations) however as we saw with the original xbox, a new online interface would be greatly appreciated and I'd probably play mine more.

A better online is all I really want from them. Besides of course new IPs and reboots of other classic series.
