MEMO TO NINTENDO: YOU'RE BLOWING YOUR LEAD!

As great as the sales are for Wii, I can't help but feel the game selection is the same as the Gamecube. The big games currently and in the near future are all Mario/Zelda/Metroid clones. Very few AAA/AA exclusives not made by Nintendo. Very little effort with most developers to take advantage of the WiiMote. Most of the games are old classics they are bringing back, which was fun at first but gets old fast.

Where are the FIRST-PERSON-SHOOTERS and REAL-TIME-STRATEGY game? Yo Nintendo! You have the ONLY controller that can play as smoothly as a mouse. You should be blowing shooters out of your factories at an incredible rate! Xbox should be scared of you and thinking it will lose its title as "the console for shoooters."

Not just those genres, where are the Nintendo exclusive sports titles that really use the WiiMote. Sega is making an American Football game even though EA owns the NFL rights. All we have aresimple WiiSports games. Come on Nintendo! Get with it! Even Sony and Microsoft dragged out their own in-depth exclusive sports titles in the PS2 and XBOX1 days. You have a WiMote that can be used as any sports movement, you should be releasing a terrific exclusive sports game every month!

You have this awesome controller that brings in all the casuals and you're not doing jack about it! You're going to lose your lead when everyone realizes they're playing the GameCube with a few WiiMote gimmicky games!

Non-gaming casuals don't give a rat's -ss about those games.

Minigames and shovelware is where its at. As long as shovelware sells millions, traumatic Sheep don't care as long as the profits keep thier precious company alive. :lol:

What are you talking about. Most people I know who fall into the casual catagory like good games. Reason why lots of them play Halo and Super Smash Brothers. Crap game are crap games, no matter what side of the field your on.

Your message is directed towards Nintendo, yet you complain about there being"Very few AAA/AA exclusives not made by Nintendo". Looks to me like you need to complain to different people.

Resident Evil 4!

But I agree with you. Wii has the best FPS controls IMO, but there still haven't been a decent FPS.

I question how Nintendo is "blowing their lead"? If anything, they're expanding their lead without the major games that "the hardcore" desire! As long as games like Wii Sports and Wii Play and Wii Fit are (will be) such big hits for Nintendo across the board, they don't need to do anything. Just imagine if Bally's announces a partnership to put Wii Fit in every one of their gyms... Oh, and it's not Nintendo's fault that most every first-person shooter on the Wii has been bad - blame that on poor R&D from third-party companies who didn't know what they were doing with the power they had.

Were you trying to get laughed at when making this thread?

Metroid Prime 3 is coming next month, there is your FPS.

Batallion Wars 2 is coming in October, there's your RTS, kinda hybrid RTS/Action.

So yeah, failure.

The Wii has the lead because of the gimmicky games and the price point. Nothing has changed. I'm really disappointed, actually.

Thread over...almost, since BWii isn't a "true" RTS. But I like RTSs where you actually get to directly control your units FPS-style, so BWii is right up my alley.

Actually the only other Halo-planned things are Halo Wars, the movie and the peter jackson project. So it kind of will go away, but that's besides the point. Nintendo is coming out with games that aren't just mario related. Games like Disaster: Day of Crisis and Wii fit are going to really help, and Medal of Honor ships with the Wii Zapper for even better shooter control. No More Heroes is another great looking game coming to the Wii that is 3rd-party, but will still sell a lot of copies. DQ: Swords is another title that takes advantage of the controller by finally allowing users to use it as a blade (unlike Zelda where a shake swings your sword, the exact motion is captured in DQ) and there has to be some sort of Star Wars game in the works, because with all of the people who want one they would be fools not to make one.

of Course nintendo has games besides mario coming out -- but they wont just give up on the franchise just because some people complain about it -- it sells, and it works.

Plus nintendo HAS made new IPs since last gen -- Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Battalion Wars, and NA Debut, Fire Emblem.

You know... to an extent I completely agree with you. You have no idea how much I long for a polished RTS game on the Wii or DS, and yet I still have yet to see one even announced to be in development! There are at least two FPS games in the works for Wii (well, one being a FPA, but nearly the same thing :P ), and one of them (Medal of Honor Heroes 2) has 32 online multiplayer! Which is a first for Nintendo players!

EDIT: Oh, and I wouldn't really call the Mario, Metroid, and Zelda games clones (except for TP). They're sequels, not clones. :)
