I'm still having a little trouble understanding why so many people feel the need to complain and give up on Nintendo. I don't want to offend anyone but come on! For the past twenty years Nintendo has delivered top notch games that have hardly even hit 7.0s and such then for one or two years they have decided to experiment. Yes it seems a little money crazed but it was only one year or so. Now I can understand a little frustration and perhaps some sophisticated and well thought out criticism but it was much more than this. You see some of us decided we were too impatient, not to wait one year of our life to perhaps try other things maybe take a break from Nintendo but to let go off Nintendo entirely with the notion that Nintendo had betrayed you and gone down the crapper. And only a little over a year! What baffles me even more is now Nintendo begins it's return with a good looking bunch of games such as SMG 2, Metroid Other M, NSMBW, and two Zeldas and you complain further. You complain that there is no star fox or F Zero. Yes these games may be absent for another year but their not dead and Nintendo can't release a new game for every franchise they've created every year! Then while Nintendo continues its return you complain that they milk their franchises. Now yes they go overboard I'll admit to that but no matter how much they milk it their games still end up great in the long run! You complain that NSMBW is just a DS game with a Wii box and four players slapped onto it- hey wait a second. Your complaining that one of the most popular game series back in the 80s and 90s that went missing for 10 years and now returns to fans delight isn't good enough. Wasn't it just a few years ago you were complaining that it was absent? Mario galaxy 2 is called milking too. Yes it's not as original as it was but call me crazy, the original could have had more. Such a concept has yet to be explored in depth. You should be happy that they're taking the time to explore even further into the worlds beyond ours and continue to explore a new concept. Metroid Other M appears to have dissapeared from your radar and I don't know why. Finally there are the two Zeldas. When Spirit Tracks was announced only god knows how much flaming Nintendo got. Honestly? Nintendo didn't give you exactly what you wanted and boom here comes the armada.Let's face it people no matter what platform it's on Zelda is Zelda. Then Zelda Wii is just about the only game I haven't seen a lot of complaints on. So to be honest there just isn't a whole lot of reason to complain. It's not going to be what everybody wanted, it's not going to be the next Halo shooter, it's not going to have graphics that make us drop our jaws but was it that way back in the age of the NES and SNES? No and yet we still enjoyed the games. I'm not implying that the 360 and PS3 suck, they deserve an applause aswell, I'm just saying Nintendo isn't dead or betraying us. They just want us to enjoy the gameplay and not enjoy a game based off how mature it is, or how good the graphics are, or how next gen it is. No matter what system it is Nintendo is still being the Nintendo from 20 years ago whether you recognize it or not. :)

I posted this rant in the comments somewhere. Took three posts. :P I just thought you guys should see it. I though it was a nice little rant. I didn't flame anybody so hurray!
