Why do you hate the Wii?

I more dislike Nintendo's decisions this generation.

Right when three awesome games were announced - Xenoblade, TLS, and Pandora's Tower - I got really excited that Nintendo was putting some effort into new IP hardcore games. All of the sudden, NoA does not want to release them. I did homebrew my Wii so I can import the games coming out in Europe.

I just don't like how Nintendo disregarded its inner circle of fans this generation. It's going to bite them and it already is recently. Even if releasing the three games isn't going to bring in the major profits like Mario Kart or Wii Fit, appeasing your fans that promote your company is still very important.

No, I'm not one of those "hardcore" gamers that can only play games like COD or Halo. Actually, I hate those games. But when Nintendo is withholding the games I do like (as mentioned in the paragraph above) - then I do have the right to criticize them.

Some of the Nintendo fans on this site have bugged me compared to other places I've been (eg. Operation Rainfall). Many act like victims, but don't mind dishing it out for Sony at every chance they get. The whole "everyone is in a giant conspiracy against Nintendo" gets a bit tiring once in a while. I don't think that many third parties will ignore them without something coming from Nintendo's side. Nintendo isn't completely innocent while the third parties are evil like many seem to claim.

Lastly, I think Nintendo focused more on the innovations rather than the content. Innovations go only so far. For me, it's the games that define the console and what I remember from it. My two favorite consoles - SNES and PS1 - were lacking in the innovation department - but the games defined them for me.

I am a Nintendo fan, but I don't support every move they make just because they are Nintendo. Same with any other corporation. Same thing goes for Sony.

The generation is not over yet and they can still release the games. They have to fill in the gaps some how.

I agree that Nintendo has made mistakes but who doesn’t? The important thing is that they have learned from it and things like online and other stuff will change next gen.
