Nintendo has been behind the rest of the industry since 1996

N64 - They stuck with cartridges and lost every bit of 3rd party support.

Gamecube - They used small discs and missed out on most 3rd party games yet again.

Wii - It was the most underpowered console ever and had mandatory motion and waggle controls that 3rd parties wanted nothing to do with. It also had a laughably pathetic online system.

Wiiu - Yet another severely underpowered console with a gimmick controller.

On the software side of things they haven't created a single new quality core IP since the early 90s.

Over 15 years and 4 consoles later and Nintendo still hasn't learned why core gamers and 3rd parties want nothing to do with them.

in defense of N64 , catridges were better than CD's from a conveneience perspective because PSX had awful long loading times, also the graphics were better than on PSX

The N64 was a 4 player party console with some of the best games of that era but since then, yeah, I've not been much of a fan of where they've been headed sooo, just sayin. :P

Not even Sin and Punishment: Star Successor, Xenoblade Chronicles and Donkey Kong Country Returns? :(

So Midway (Gauntlet: Legends, Mortal Kombat series), Lucasarts (Various Star Wars games that ended up better than what the PlayStation had to offer), and Acclaim (Turok series, Extreme G series) never released anything on N64?

Most PS3 games I feel like I'm doing choirs go here kill this person sit and watch cutsceen over and over. It's gets repetative fast. Nintendo games have more creativity. 

Don't you guys get tired of writing the same shit over and over and over again? I mean, I get tired of just looking at them, but writing them. Damn. It would be pretty nightmarish.funsohng

Super Smash Bros, Various Rare IPs, Pokemon, Pikmin, and various other IPs say otherwise.

Tighten that belt, bud, I can see your raging Nintendo b0ner from here.

I dont look at Nintendo the same as a did 20 years ago, their consoles are good for exclusives and that's about it. Heil68

How is that different than the other two consoles? They're all only good for exclusives, unless you enjoy playing games at sub-720p at 20fps.

Up until the Wii, I wouldn't say they were behind more so than betting on the wrong horse. Company lacks foresight.

Trolls get the amusement from the reactions, not the writing. Its about the destination, not the journey.

Eh, they did pretty well for themselves with the Wii, in terms of sales

i couldnt care less about a "financial" success when the device is not providing the content i want , nintendo has lost me as a long time customer with the wii , ive been having their consoles since original game boy and SNES

What do you want people to say? "We're sorry for your disappointment?" It sucks they lost you as a fan, life goes on, I'm sure you and everyone else will survive this devastating loss lol.

NathanDrakeSwag thread?

Meanwhile.... Sony is busting out 80's cartoon rehashes... litterally.  (Kindom Hearts super duper HD remake remastering 1.5ish)

The type of consumer they traded you for with the Wii is a decision that has come back to bite them in the a$$ REEEEAL hard this gen. You might find some solace in that reality at least. Maybe next gen they'll try appealing to you once again rather than make a quick ca$h grab with a fickle consumer base.

I just agree through out the years they could have come up with new IPs. Did not have to be Mario, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Zelda the whole time since 1996.

That's true, but this happened at a time before smartphones and tablets came. The casuals have moved to that now. So I don't expect WII U to bring in those casuals again. Nintendo needs more third party support and I do think they need more powerful hardware.

Megadrive: yay

PSX: yay
N64: meh
Saturn: meh

PS2: yay
GC: yay

I seriously hope the Wii U will get some awesome games, it's not doing much right now.
