I sure have. Nintendo has realised that they can make tons of money off a console with motion controls, many family games, and last gen graphics. I highly doubt nintendo would make a powerful console next gen, seeing how much sucess in terms of sales the Wii is having. I just give up. This was the worst holiday season for the Wii. They havent realeased an AAA title for like six months, and that is pathetic! There are so many great games for the 360 and PS3 right now, I might not even be able to name all of them.

So far I've enjyed the Wii far more then the gamecube. I also love they put out a VC, so I can go back and play lots of the games I missed during the 8-bit and 16-bit era.

I'm not giving up on Nintendo I have 13 games for the Wii (That is the least I have for a Nintendo Console but their is still 3 years left for the Gen.) But it is more games then any non Nintendo console I had except for Genesis I think it is tied.

Also can we make this a Sticky just because their is another one of these threads about 3 times a week maybe more and I think if their was a sticky they can keep it all in one thread.

If they keep going the way they have been, then yes. However, all I need are a few of the great Nintendo exclusives to sucker me into buying a console. A solid Zelda, Mario, or Metroid would do it.

Sure will....why wait for features (like proper online) from Nintendo in 3-4 years when they are available now. And even when next gen arrives Nintendo will still be behind in w/e the norm will be at that time.

Too much crap to wade through, but I'm not counting Nintendo out yet, perhaps they will use there massive stockpile of cash they are currently printing and do something good with it... Or they could just purchase Wii themed houses made of gold with DS's and Wii's that act as personal ATM's that spit out money when you turn them on.

I for one am not buying the wii despite the Zelda and other great franchises, however I am banking that the next nintendo console is going to be great. They have made plenty of money this generation to put them back as console kings and I know that they have to have something amazing in stored for us next gen. However I am afraid that the casual name will stick and noone will take them seriously if they make a insane gaming console next swing around. If they don't then the gamecube will be my last nintendo console.

I'm glad I don't just play AAA titles. During that gap between AAA titles I was playing Wario Land, De Blob, ToS2, etc.

I don't just play AAA titles, but many wii games just didn't interest me enough, especially since i have a 360 with a lot of great games already out.

I'm not sure, but i'll deffinately have to reconsider. Sure, the wii is good, but they need to fix some key areas to get my money again. Bring back a certain level of quality control like they used to have. And don't assume that we're content moving our downloaded games around SD cards. They need to have a real HDD in their next system for real storage.

I'll never give up on Nintendo as long as they keep making the masterpieces like Mario Galaxy and Pikmin 2 (Pikmin 3 is confirmed for Wii). The Wii has the best 3D Mario, the best Metroid Prime, the best super Smash Bros. (greatest multiplayer experience known to man) and the best Mario Kart. They are still making all their triple AAA efforts just as well as they used to, if not, better! They are just releasing simple casual games at the same rate as they great gamer games.

So why are you complaining again? Every system is going to have a drought every now and then. As someone already stated it took Sony 2 years to get a AAA(exclusive i assume). Nintendo just has long droughts While Sony & MS might have small droughts that aren't as noticeable. Anyway, The Wii seems to have a fairly good line-up for 2009. I don't if it will be enough for you to like Nintendo again. Frankly, I don't care because at the end of the day we'll both be playing the games we enjoy.

Same here. It amazes me how people on this site expect everyone to like all the same things. You don't like the Wii? Awesome! That doesn't mean there aren't other people that love it.

Whoa! Slow down there horsey. What makes you think that he has a explicit in his mouth? Because he believes Nintendo's new system has the best versions of some of Nintendo's franchises. Weird although i don't agree with him about SSBB being the greatest multiplayer experience some of his other statements do hold some ground.

Avatars? Advertising with Kung-Fu Panda and family commercials? Toying with the idea of motion control? Is that a serious question of yours or is there a joke in there somewhere?

Thanks for defending me maturely. I greatly dislike both sandbox games and shooters. What does that leave me with these days? The industry is overrun with shooters, it's disgusting. Where's the veriety? Platformers are my favourite genre of gaming and now they are almost extinct! Braid should get more exposure. Non-Nintendo franchises I enjoy just as much are Street Fighter and Dragon Quest (Final Fantasy lost it completely when XII came around). I have specific tastes.

Since when did the 360 have motion control? Advertising with Kung-Fu Panda and family commercials? WOW they are really tiring to be like nintendo Avatars? Ok I give you that but they copied stuff from the other systems too.

The 360 doesn't have motion control Microsoft's next console will. Yes, those Kung Fu Panda commercials is a direct call-out to Nintendo's audience. Sorry if you can't see that. No avatars on consoles were copied from Nintendo. Microsoft saw how much people loved them and decided to make their own. Nintendo is the winner this generation so it's only natural for Microsoft to want some of their success. If Microsoft was on top, we'd see Nintendo copying them.

So when this forum was bombarded with "HAHA Microsoft's Avatars = Nintendo's Miis", you missed that?
I am obviously dealing with a fanboy here.Oh_Lonesome_Me
No your comical hatred for Nintendo is just preventing you from hearing anything besides pro-360 statements. To think your beloved gaming company is trying to capture the amazing success of another gaming company somehow bothers you. That's quite okay, we'll pick this up when Microsoft runs out of punch. Have a great evening!

No way! I will never give up on Nintendo. I'll probably buy the next Nintendo console and the one after that and so on. They are so cheap, you mind as well buy one anyway.

I've given up on Nintendo when I turned 21. IMO, their shining point was the Resident Evil Remake and RE0. Never cared for their exclusives after that.

Agree, but would there have been Avatars on the 360 if not for the Mii? I think not.

so what wii game by nintendo have you tried, if you dont mind me asking?
