Let's Face It, Nintendo Isn't Being Very Nice to Us
glentennis | 5:05 PM on 07.29.2008 8 comments




I'm getting sick of all these people whoare getting mad when other people talk about how horrible E3 was for Nintendo. Come on, you guys really can't deny that Wii owners don't have much to look forward to, especially from Nintendo. In fact, for the first time in a while, third-parties are doing more for the console than Nintendo is. We have seen a few quality third-party titles lately. Maybe not as much as the other consoles, but still something.



But that's not what I'm arguing. Nintendo has let us down lately. Believe me, I'm a huge Nintendo fan, and I have been since I was about five. Some people say that the Gamecube lacked proper support, but the line-up was more than enough for me. Original games like Pikmin and Chibi-Robo, semi-original games like Starfox Adventures, and tons of other solid returns to franchises. That's why I buy Nintendo systems.

The truth is that we haven't seen a trailer debut for a quality Nintendo game on the Wii since, well, the last thing I can think of is Mario Kart Wii (I know I'll get corrected on that, sorry). And I know that a lot of people would use Wario Land as an example, but that's not really the big blockbuster I'm talking about. That really shouldn't be the only thing we've seen from them, even if it will be plenty of fun.

A lot of people also say that this is all fair game since we got our big four games (TP, Corruption, Galaxy, Brawl). Those were great titles, but I'm done with those because that's the kind of game consumer I am. Specifically, the kind who Nintendo isn't doing much for right now.



I know that Miyamoto mentioned Pimin 3, Mario, and Zelda. That's great, but it's pretty much the equivalent of Square Enix stating that they're working on Final Fantasy 14 after 13 comes out, or EA talking about a small team in an office drawing up Mass Effect 2. Right now I'm pissed, but the second Nintendo starts supporting gamers the right way (which will probably be in an event of their own around October), I'll get over it. Here's hoping Monster Hunter 3 comes soon.

Heretics right. By now we have figured out that Nintendo really doesn't care too much about us, because the casuals are throwing too much money their way. 1000 different blogs on the subject is not going to change anything.
