Wow, look at that wall of text!
Anyway, can you define what a "hardcore" gamer is? I don't understand that word. Also, I can say the same about Microsoft and Sony - not one single game they announce got my blood pumping.
Why are you so mad? What is so "baby" about their games? Plus, your cousin is a kid; most kids want to be "mature" and "grown up" hence why he wants to play MK, trust me, I was the same way.
The message was clear: It was time Nintendo focused on the audience that really mattered.
I'm pretty sure they did that.

Okay, you don't need to like Nintendo anymore. That point doesn't really matter. But aren't there like...child endangerment/abuse laws you're breaking by not buying your kids a Nintendo console? I mean they're children!
Seems like they did what they needed to do - made a console that included the hardcore gamer and the casual audience.
Only children want to be catered to exclusively. So when you have kids, you're going to have children more grown up than you are.

The act of calling people "babies" shows immaturity, the last time I heard someone say that I was in Middle School.
Denying your future children the things they like they just because you don't like said product is kind of a dick move, if you become a parent you're going to have to put up with them watching, listening, and doing things that irritate you. Would you deny them Barney and Princess movies too?
"Dahdy I whant to go whatch Pwincess and the Fwog?"
"No, we're going to go watch Jason Statham beat up guys for two hours while he's shirtless, because I'm a mahn Gurgahbugah"
It's unfortunate that Nintendo products no longer catch your interest, but you can't like everything it's no big deal. Nintendo has stayed a favorite amongst many because they haven't changed, and that's also the reason many resent them. Their biggest strength is their biggest weakness.
From Bio:"You see, my posts may get responses suggesting I'm a fanboy or a hater, which is why I clarify this here"
Saying that pretty much means you are. Under most circumstances you wouldn't have to repeatedly clarify that you weren't something unless you are.
I'll go with this old expression
"If One Person Calls You A Horse, You Ignore Them. If two people call you a horse, you may want to stop and purpose about it. If three people call you a horse you may be in need of to start shopping for a saddle."
It's totally okay to not like Nintendo, just don't make a big deal about it. You're not the first, join the millions of people who bought PS3s and 360s.

Thanks for the responses guys, but it appears that the shareholders agree with me: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-08/nintendo-falls-amid-questions-whether-new-console-can-repeat-wii-s-success.html
I'm not sure, seemed like this new console was trying to meet their fans halfway. They really do seem to want to please the "hardcore gamers" (not sure what defines one, though), but they still want to make money by selling to casuals and your mom.
Still, I'll admit I was both happy and disappointed with The Big N. I mean, I like what I saw for Zelda, Mario, etc... but I'm getting genuinely sick of seeing all these sequels. I mean, I honestly can't name a new series that Nintendo has created since Pikmen almost a decade ago. Seriously, I just want something new and refreshing. Miyamoto is not clean out of ideas. He needs to reach in deep into his noggin and pull out something awesome!
And just to fit in with all the other asshole commentors on here... es tee eff U d00d! hehe

You lost my respect-rather, I should say the benefit of the doubt-at babies.
Cool story bro. Needs more pictures, I got bored halfway through.
What was this blog about again?

I really need to get some Wii games for my friend's Wii and a PS3 so I can enjoy the exclusives. I chose to go with the 360 instead of the Wii because of the controller, Halo and Oblivion. Nintendo may not impress me the way they used to but they still make solid games. You clearly did not want to offend people with pictures but(even though they would have helped) you did not seem to care about offending people with your words. Posts like these get shredded pretty quickly. Just saying.
I was going to reply that the shareholders dipping out could be a positive indicator if you're looking for hardcore games... but to be honest, I'm not sure what you're looking for. :/
There are always doubts about Nintendo's success. Remember when everybody was worrying about the Wii?
And really? Just because Nintendo has nothing to announce for the next Wii right now that interests you, you're going to forever boycott them instead of waiting and seeing?
Mature.

I think it was the case like Sony and MS where the games we actually want to know about are all out on the show floor. I think people should just take a few breaths and wait for all the previews to roll in.
Nintendo's been dead to me since last gen, but then again I grew
up with Sega anyways. So I never really experienced the same fierce loyalty most people have for Nintendo.
Also LOL at your cousin playing MK. I grew up playing those games and I just got the new one. It's just a matter of preference.

I'm holding judgement for now... there might be the option for full 3rd party ports using a standard controller hidden in that new WiiU HD box... though it would have been nice if they'd shown that it's possible. The full COD or Assassin's Creed experience (without the waggle) combined with the new controller options and Nintendo exclusives might indeed make the new system viable... but if most games will use the new controller or waggle, then it seems to lend itself to gimmicky games. :(
Right now, my biggest concern is the price. The new controllers look like they could be in the $100-$150 price range. I have no doubt that I'll get one, as soon as I see an HD Mario or Zelda game, but fuck spending $500 on additional controllers.
So you will be getting them mortal kombat instead? lol
In all seriousness they didnt offer any less then any other company is offering though. If the plan is to jump on the port bandwagon then it seems to me that there doing a good job of it by already getting EA, Ubi, THQ and Sega on board. That being said I prob wont buy it until Nintendo actually has some good first party stuff for the thing. The Tablet controller gimmick does not impress me either but Im a sucker for hardware and I cant wait to learn more about whats under the hood of the actual box.
