So pretty much no one can ...

... accuse nintendo of not delivering anymore, right? Nintendo is producing two main Mario titles in one generation for the first time since the Snes. I'd say that's pretty impressive. What do you think? Do Metroid: M, Zelda Wii, and Mario Galaxy 2 put nintendo in the green now?

O_O; Yeah, 3rd person Metroid ...

I wish they'd make a Metroid side scroller for the DS, but I'm afraid they're holding back because they cant think of how to integrate the stylus into the game to a significant degree without breaking the gameplay.

It's a step in the right direction, but more work is needed. So not quite.Cherokee_Jack

Isn't it actually 3 main Mario games at once since NES because of Super Mario Galaxy 1?

what ever happened to kid icarus?

it'd be nice if they created something hardcore that didn't have mario, metroid, or zelda in the title

that occasional newcharacter is nice every once in a while

Nintendo's problem has never been in relation with its first-pary support. It has always been top-notch. The problem is that it lacks the third party support to fill the gaps between the first party games.IronBass

Well historically this was done by Rareware, which is why the N64 still managed to have a competent library after losing practically all of it's Japanese support - probably due to bad relations it built with 3rd party companies.

The gamecube was a very promising system, and managed to showcase a number of quality Resident Evil titles, but not enough support came from other areas.

It seems that developers are excited about developing games for the HD consoles and are perhaps bewildered by applying wii motion technology to their games. For example, Umbrella Chronicles was originally supposed to be a game with different scenarios spanning throughout the series with motion applied to things like kicking doors down. But after a certain point it became a railshooter, and the level design quality in the game really went down, reusing Outbreak levels even. Luckily, they seem to be making a bigger effort with Darkside Chronicles, but its sad to see Capcom making railshooters for the system as opposed to a full fledged RE2 remake.

Agreed, a new Kid Icarus would rock!

The only way to make you happy would be to completely worship everything out on the wii console like you do, but that's not something I'm going to do. Like I said, I'll give credit where credit is due.

Hmmm ... Is it really a full length mario game?hakanakumono

Found it.

Don't be fooled by the name, though; even though the lack of a number at the end of the game's title might suggest it's simply a console port of the DS game, nothing could be further from the truth. This is a genuine sequel, with about 80 new levels, new mechanics, and best of all, four-player simultaneous action.

It's possible for Nintendo to end this generation as SALES leader and GAMES (exclusive reviews) leader. Pay back for last gen :evil: :twisted:!TREAL_Since

Those games are great and I will probably pick them up. Unfortunately for Nintendo, I don't see myself buying anything for my Wii till then. I think the last thing I bought for my Wii was Fit, and that was at launch. That is the heart of Nintendo's problem.

Only Nintendo can get away with rehashing the same franchise over and over and over again until the end of time. It some how saved them from a very appalling E3 press conference. Mario Galaxy 2 looks almost exactly the same as mario galaxy 3, that metroid game though. That was different atleast.

no...because its what they always do. dude the only games that are ever good for ninty are the same ones that they have relied on for about 20+ years. new ip's would help don't you think? pikmin was a new idea last gen, i believe, and they need new ip's and better 3rd party games....oh and get rid of that stupid remote and go back to classic controllers...i can't stand playing on that crap

as much as like mario i need more then that to buy a console, i never cared about metroid or zelda

I still want my Kirby and Star Fox though. :P

It's good that they're finally developing some core-games, but they're still pretty far away from a release date which puts them down. Still, it is really nice of Nintendo to do these "core"-games even though they don't sell very well compared to wii-sports (as an example) just to please the fans.
