Features like voice chat should have been implemented in their online service in the first place. Its not an anouncement I can get excited about.
Nintendo's priority and focus is obviously the non-gamers. And you know, I don't care. I just want to see Zelda, and a Mario/Donkey Kong platformer. Games that are entertaining and are generally easier recognised among the more traditionally and dedicated gamers.
Did they show it? Not even an anouncement. Let alone a short teaser that would have satisfied us like the GoWIII teaser by Sony.
What does this mean? Basicly a middle finger to their loyal fanbase. All the energy and time they invested in these peripherals has slowed the development process of the real worthy quality Nintendo games.
I've said this a long time ago. Nintendo is changing their priorities. And so am I! My Wii is a secondary gaming console I often use when my friends come to visit me. After that its serious business, and I immediately go back to playing Civilization, Warcraft, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, TF2 or CoD4.
The Wii has so much wasted potential. Portal on the Wii? Perhaps Bioshock? These games could have been excellent Wii exclusives. Very suitable games for that particular control scheme with the Wii mote. Why aren't we seeing serious games such as Mass Effect or Elder Scrolls on Wii? Poor third party support. Terrible even.
At first I was very fascinated by the idea of motion sensing capable gaming system. I've been starting to dislike it after I found out that Mario Galaxy would work perfectly fine with a regular controller. But this is not a complaint. I'm happy Nintendo tried something new. But there are so many other aspects Nintendo failed at.
Still no proper online support. Imagine playing Team Fortress 2 on Wii... onlne without those frustrating friend codes that restrict me communicating with the online community.
Wasted potential Nintendo...
