Has nintendo let you down?

For me every nintendo console has kept me interested but the wii has got half of the amount of good games of any other ninty console....or any for that matter.

It's got a lot of solid games. It's got a lot of mediocre, cash-in games.

Just avoid the mediocre cash-ins and you're fine.

Yeah, they have. I gave up on them during the GCN era, after Wind Waker and Metroid Prime came out. I remember there being a massive drought so I jumped ship for Xbox, and now game exclusively on PC. It's a shame, too; Wind Waker is still my favorite game. If they start making that quality in a bit more quantity, I'll happily return.

true, but it is easily the worst of the ninty consoles though right. I like em all but i can't see it being that great

Not at all. I appreciate their gamble with motion controls.

Plus, even though they are late to the party regarding online and additional storage, they seem to respond to what people want, albeit slowly.

I wish they were more aggressive with new titles of older IPs, such as Pikmin, Star Fox, Kirby, Kid Icarus, Mario Golf.

What really really disappointed me was the rehashing of Mario Tennis. Apparently the controls were just simply tacked on and there is just no excuse for that. A whole new title should have been made, and now that they rehashed it doesn't sound like we'll get one soon.

wii games are not perfect but they are more fun than any 360 game

You make a good observation because that is one of the mistakes Nintendo said they did: not haveing any releasing strategy and building no momentum between games. That massive drought hurt them.

I don't know if it's the worst. I think it does some good things, like the inclusion of the motion controls.

I did like the N64 better however, though the GC was on par IMHO.

In a word.. Yes.

Okay a bit more :P for instance, I'd be even more pumped for a Zelda coming out on a Wii that's equal to what 360/PS3 are capable of.

now that i think of it,the wiiis probably the most innavative motion controls and all but not as many solid titles. agree about the n64 and gamecube though

I haven't played too many Wii games up until this point (recent purchase), so i'll wait to see some more good games. I like the motion control inclusion, as it'll hopefully branch out and offer more immersion through future gens.

I gave up on Ninty after SNES.. .that was the last Nintendo console that offered real JRPGs When PS1 came out with a few dozen top notch rpgs vs. zero rpgs on the n64, and ps1 had all the 3rd party support and mature titles, that was when i said goodbye nintendo, and haven't' bought a nintendo console till this gen the wii, which I already sold, I bought the thing when I was drunk ...

To be quite honest there are some great games on the Nintendo Wii and some not so great. With how limited the number of great games this system have, it is kind of disappointed with the lack of variety of games it have in my opinion. But that is not my main concern, my main concern with Nintendo is the pricing of their first party game; no I don't mean the fifty dollar price tag when it hit store shelve but the fifty dollar price tag after so many years have gone by. The same hold true with how they operate with their handheld games.

Yeah.... it was really all about novelty, but no substance.

Wears thin very quickly.... but Nintendo doesn't care anyway

yes, yes they have, this entire generation.

I haven't been a fan of Nintendo for a long time. But still, to put all the blame of the current state of the Wii's game library on them is kind of unfair. All developers who've made a game for the Wii are equally responsible.

Wii has also been out for half the time of the other consoles. If they manage to get Zelda Wii out then that means Wii will have had 2 main Marios, 2 main Metroids and 2 main Zelda games. That's a hell of a lot of first party love. I think the main difference is the innovative third party software, Gamecube had games like Eternal Darkness, which tried something new and succeeded. Wii has a ton of games that try something new but the difference is that a lot of them haven't succeeded. That being said there's still been a vast amount that have, and that are great games, like No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki.bobbetybob

Nintendo? No

Third parties that support Nintendo? Yes.

yeah i agree, very disapointed with the wii, i have every otherNintendoconsole getting a wii for christmas just for the hell of owning one, but i dont think im going to be playing it too much....

They did last gen, so this gen I had 0 expectations, and they stil dissapointed me.

Very much so. The Wii, the DS, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, the entire "revolution" of gaming. But no one is incapable of redemption. I just don't see it being very likely.

I agree too! Everybody's NES still works but the 360 lasts about a year and 1/2

foxhound_fox

For the most part yes. The Gamecube was my system of choice for multiplats and such last gen, but wow I don't even touch the Wii anymore. I am still going to keep it when those rare gems come out and I need to play them, but I havent played my Wii since Galaxy.

That's how I feel about Nintendo this gen.
