Oh Nintendo, have all those riches gone straight to you head? You promised us that you would please the "Core" gamer. All we got was some damn Animal Crossing and a GTA on the DS (just a logo for that matter). Nintendo has so many great franchises and uses them, basically, as little as possible. Now that you have roped in the new crowd of old ladies and the rest of the "Casual" crowd, you are leaving us with our Gears of War and other games made for the HARDcore gamers. I know that Mario Galaxy was great, but we need games like that at least every couple of months. What do you think we are? Lazy, stupid, or even bad at your games. We need those great franchises or even something new. Overall I would say that this E3 2008 at was one of the least compelling and worst of all for Nintendo. I watched the press event, O-M-G Wii Music, Wii Sports Resort. Come on, I just hope that you use some of those profits to invest in new IPs. That would be the smart things, but I know you have to please the "Investors," who seem to be most important right now. And yes, I do have a Nintendo Wii and I am not a hater, just a disgruntled gamer who wishes he had way to voice his displeasure anyways, but all I have is D-Toid...........................But those fucking Animal's from Animal Crossing are too cute. Keep it up Nintendo and you may loose out on your audience that actually buys games that include your GOOD franchises.

I seriously hope that isn't what you think the problem is. Milking franchises is half of what they ARE doing.
I don't have a Wii because there are (in my opinion) only a handful of quality games.
According to Miyamoto:

[i]"For a very long time, E3 was an event where — and certainly Nintendo included — catered specifically to the core gamer. Now we look at more … an opportunity for us to introduce new concepts and new types of play that we intend to bring to the broader audience, particularly because of the media that gathers at E3 now.
So while attending an E3 event like this, they might be given the impression that Nintendo is no longer focusing on the games that appeal to the core gamer, in fact we’re still working on many of those titles, but it’s just not the type of event where we’ll be showcasing that anymore."[/i]

If that's to believed, should we be looking forward to the next Wii Zelda game at TGS/PAX?
sadly Nintendo also makes loads of money on the crap that gets sold all the time, all those minigames... And I'm fucking sure that the amount of money N is making of 'casual games' is WAY bigger then the amount of money they get from their 'core-games'...
