Has nintendo let you down?

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.

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

Well If you directly compare them now... maybe I guess. But no wii game was even close to the immersive experice Metroid Prime was the first time I played it, or windwaker. The gamecube was a better console for its time than the wii is.

not all. wii has a good value at its price

back in 2006 when I purchased wii, wii was only $279, ps3 was $599 and 360 was either $4xx or 5xx something.

for the amount of $ i paid, i am very satsfied with wii. at least it gave me an good year to show up around my friends when it was still very hard to find one.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]

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.

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.

The lack of 3rd parties is a big deal, but when Nintendo decides to send SSB and Mario Kart the casual route (the items in both can completely ruin skill involved) and new IPs consist of games like Wii Fit... well I can't help but feel dissappointed.

So you didn't buy anything after that?DaViD_99

In all honesty no.

I want games for the wii that make use of the motion controller only - I'm not interested in mutli-plat wii games that look on my ps3.

I just found the games boring, ugly and the novelty went really fast.

I still got the wii - but to be honest the PS3 games that have been getting released as of late deserve my money much more then the games Nintendo have.

playing singstar is more fun and has more appeal than the wii does imo

Let down? No not really. I knew what I was getting myself into.

The only games I've stuck with nintendo for have been the great first party titles, but there's way too much space between them and all these titles (twilight princess, corruption, etc) feel like there's little innovation, and as though they're just rehashes. Nintendo's getting stagnant. I'm getting a 360.

I started disliking Nintendo ever since the n64 when the used the cartridge games and basicly was abandoned by 3rd party support

Same with the Gamecube and Wii, Dont get me wrong Nintendo consoles always have had awesome 1st party gamesits just that theyseem to be scarce in great 3rd party ones So by the way things are looking I wont be playing another Zelda and Mario game for all long time, until they get it fixed!! :(

Really?

I bought the Wii this year for Social, Casual, Niche, Indie and Retro titles. I am very happy with Nintendo.

Still have the PC for mainstream stuff. but my interest is waning in that side of things.

YES

Slow Virtual Console Releases, Focusing only on 3 Nintendo IPs (Mario, Zelda, and Metroid), No new Star Fox, F-Zero, or Kirby, and Poor Online play.

Though I'm more dissapointed with the Developers that make games for Nintendo's Console.

Lucasarts haven't made a Lightsaber StarWars game (or even attempt to put the StarWars Trilogy Arcade game on the Wii)

Hardly any 3rd person Shooter games for the Wii.

Too Many Party games.

At least Nintendo has their Handheld which they seem to be paying more attention to. (and Developers too)

I guess that's a good thing but I wish that they would give the Console a little more attention.

Slow Virtual Console Releases, Focusing only on 3 Nintendo IPs (Mario, Zelda, and Metroid), No new Star Fox, F-Zero, or Kirby, and Poor Online play.LegatoSkyheart

This week the 500th downloadable game for the Wii came out and the vast majority of those are Virtual Console titles (as opposed to Wii-ware titles). People really need to stop complaining about Virtual Console. I have like 60 Virtual Console games and I don't buy junk so most of them are some of the best games ever and there are probably like another 20 or so that I haven't gotten but am interested in.

As for Nintendo IP's, besides the new Mario, Zelda, and Metroid we got this generation we also got new entries of Smash Bros, Fire Emblem, Wario Land, Mario Kart, Excite series, Animal Crossing, WarioWare, and Battalion Wars. A sequel to Sin & Punishment is right around the corner, know they're working on a new Pikmin. I'm not saying I wouldn't like a new Star Fox, F-Zero, or Kirby but let's not pretend that Nintendo isn't doing anything else besides Mario, Zelda, and Metroid, it's just that people ignore anything that isn't one of those 3. Heck Nintendo purchased a quality RPG studio and has them working on an RPG that was announced at last year's E3, and yet I bet most people on these boards have no idea what I'm talking about. Of course I'm talking about Monado: Beginning of the World being developed by Monolith Soft which Nintendo recently acquired (they made the Xenosaga games as well as the Baten Kaitos games).

dare I ask... why do you find the ds a let down?

Unlike the wii it actually has a balanced library of good first and third party games.

I have a feeling you are thinking about Metroid Prime Hunters xD What a disappointment though really. The multiplayer was alright, but that is not why I want to play a Metroid game. The campaign was pretty bad too, especially with the 2 repeating boss fights, while the new hunters were kind of interesting.

I wish that the "revolution" they started didn't involve months and months without a single decent game being released.

Not at all.

Sure, I wish the lineup of games were better. But I'm satisfied with the games I've played and the future of games that I'll get to be playing in the future to feel satisfied enough with my purchase.

Dang man I was just saying what Nintendo has let me down on.

and Yes I am Glad on the recent "Explosion" of Virtual Console games that have been released but have you seen the N64 section? There's like 10 games (or 14 I don't remember) on there! The 64 had a LOT of games! where are they?

Yes Nintendo has given us loads of IPs for the Wii. But I'm still seeing a lot of focus on Mario, Zelda, and Metroid.

These aren't a bad thing but Nintendo has let me down on something. I don't want to bash Nintendo but sometimes even the best company needs criticism.

And another thing, Did you READ my entire Post? I said that I was EVEN MORE DISSAPPOINTED AT THE DEVELOPERS!

Developers for the Wii haven't given much too offer for awhile. Capcom is giving the Wii Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Monster Hunter Tri and Ubisoft is giving the Wii Red Steel but again where's The Lightsaber Game from LucasArts? Where's some 3rd Person Shooter games for the Wii?

Where's some decent FPSs? Where's the System Seller game that's not from Nintendo?

the reason you think wii has more mediocre games then any other nintendo console is because its got more games overall then the 2 previous consoles combined ,

you are over exxagerating the ammount of good vs bad any way,

lets look at who did not develope for gc or n64

-rockstar they only did 1 n64 title and 2-3 gc games which were mediocre their best effort would have to be smuggler run

square enix completly stop after snes only gba and 1 gc game in the gc era was suppored by them

atari stopped making top games after they did a few ,,

dbz was all they did for gc and that anthology disc,

their major franchises such as driver was never on the gc but guess what its on the wii-paralel lines thanks to ubisoft

atari has made several wii games ,

midway aside from their mortalk ombat and compilation disc gc was highly ignored by them but they made several wii games before going bankrupt in fact crusin was their last game , only known gc games besides mortal kombat include-arcade treasures vol 1-3 turok 5 -evolution

basically half wiis developers never did gc games they mostly did ps2 games ,

and xbox got 50 percent of that even so ya

when ever a console sells good expect a lot of software you aint familair withps2 ps1 snes and nes all had these types of titles,

you probably never noticed these but here they are

corvette-i got it as a gift mind you but this is ps2 titles that are similar to wiis

petz-this series started on the ps2

sing it -

eye toy games

guitar hero and rockband

ford racing series-started back in the ps1 era

state of emergency-this was a budget title for xbox and ps2 and its fun in multiplayer only though the 2nd one is bad

cold winter -xbox/ps2

etc this list goes on and on ,, of lesser known titles for ps2 /1 snes nes etc

wii is just like these consoles

successful

big fanbase

and different from the other 2 which is why there is no reason any one should compare the other 2 to the wii because its just so vastly different , dont bring natal or wand because these aint main forms of play onthe other consoles as wii motei s to wii

so no nintendo has not let me down

they still produced their major franchises and made new ones for new players

why would that let any one down ,

with this insane nintendo line up coupled with more exclusive 3rd party titles

-mario galaxy

zelda

metroid

nsmb

superp aper mario

mario party 8

wario land

animal crossing

mario strikers

mario sonic olympic1

mario sonic olympic winter

wario ware smooth moves

wii sports

wii sports resort

links crossbow

wii play

wii music

wii fit

punchout

excite bike truck and bot series

pikmin

dk

ssbb

mario kart

how the heck can any one be let down by nintendo

thats a long list of titles , can you even name as many ps3 or 360 exclusives?

i bet you can not ,

and you know hwat the quality of nintendos software 99 percent of the time is top notch with 1 percent being wii music and fit

and with these coming

mario galaxy 2

metroid other m

zelda wii

pikmin 3

and possibles

fzero

more mario party

more other titles,

its just going to get better and better and better , ,

Please no more Mario Party....There's too many Party games for the Wii....I'm sure they already went around the loop on how many Mini games there are for the Wii.

I don't think Nintendo has let anyone down. Just 3rd parties developing for the system.

I wish they came out with more new IPs that had some heavy backing and marketing behind them. Reviving dead franchises that have no chance of succeeding in the current market and new IPs such as Endless Ocean are weak efforts compared to previous generations.

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.

lundy86_4

Problem solved.

I still think the NES and SNES and Gameboy and DS are better, but I like the wii more than the N64 and the GC.

Yeah its strange how they went from Metroid Fusion (best 2D metroid) to that... But just thinking about Fusion gets me all hyped for Other M since same people are making it... Aren't you hyped for OM Foxhound?

They haven't let me down. Already own some excellent games for the console and I'm looking to pick up some more. It is unfortunate to see so many mediocre games released on the Wii though. Nintendo should consider enforcing some of the rules they had back in the NES days; although they would likely have to tweak them slightly.

[QUOTE="Nintendo_Ownes7"]

[QUOTE="IppoTenma"]No way. The Wii pretty much destroys the gamecube. mariokart97

gamecube is mine too and yes they have delivered more first party titles quicker, good point

Has nintendo let you down?

mariokart97

Not really no. They just had a change of interests and I wasn't into what they do much anymore.

Now if there was a gaming company that really let me down I'd say it would be Sega :evil:

There used to be a rule that publishers could only release five games per year. It was done to ensure they create only quality titles; although I think some companies were finding ways around this. Is that one still in effect? Maybe it just seems publishers are releasing more games per year. -_-

Um...no actually, I don't think they do that anymore. I had forgotten about that one. It's prolly best they don't go back to that.

I like the NES, SNES and N64 better than the Wii. So we're pretty much the same way.

Solid console, it's just unfortunate people can't see past some of the garbage offered on the system. Some real gems from what i'm seeing.

No doubt, but this has happened before. Bigger consoles have missed out on New Super Marios Bros, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, SSBB, Little King's Story, Punch-Out!! etc etc.

Certain systems miss out on certain games. Hence why many people own multiple systems.

Yeah, now that I think about it, enforcing that rule probably wouldn't make a difference. Back in the NES days, companies were turning other companies they owned into video game developers, which could then create another five games per year. Acclaim did that with LJN, who then proceeded to make some pretty awful games. =P

I'm not sure if I would want the series to go in that direction. Then again, I haven't played Prime 3 yet so I can't really comment. I'm playing the first Prime right now, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

I must say, I'm a little dissapointed that it is going back to it's sidescrolling roots. I thought first person fit Metroid much better than sidescrolling ever did.

I am a huge advocate of the Wii, but I have been disappointed with the console from time to time; thank goodness that I have low standards for enjoyment of videogames. The Wii justhas a SERIOUS derth in quality games in key genres (it JUST got through the FPS drought with MWR), particularly ones I am interested in. Unfortunately, both the PS3 and 360 aren't THAT much better in their selections inthe genres that I am actually interested in.

I have always been a big ninty fanboy . I am however one customer who left Nintendo a few years ago . I am sorry, but when I see Uncharted, Mass Effect, halo, dragon Age, GT, forza and many others I must admit that Mario, Link, Samus, and the other Nintendo mascots are lost in the shadows .

I mean, come on, imagine a new Zelda game with Uncharted 2 graphics ...the competition would cry and weep in a corner. It was a good move from Nintendo what they did with the Wii, but right now, I would release a new console if I was in Nintendo's shoes . A console for the lost sheep !!! With lots of POWA !!!

Nintendo is never gonna give you up.

kinda. i didnt really care for gamecube. then i bought a wii and just plan hated it. i think ive grown tired of nintendo to be honest. next gen might be the first time ever i dont buy a nintendo system. i will miss mario:( specaily the old school stlye mario games. got a chance to play a few levels of the new super mario wii last weekend and really enjoyed it. but not worth rebuying another wii.

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.
