All I see is people trying to put a positive spin from a negative situation. Ok, Even I have games I haven' touched yet, but if Sony had done the same thing, I would be front and center telling you how they screwed up. Why is it so hard to say Nintendo fucked up, why the need to create copycat thread because you wanted some positivity, there's nothing positive about what Nintendo has done with the Wii in 2011 so far, nothing. 

This is why the comunity has gone down lately, people think that disagreeing with their opinions is being negative, thus conversation stops. 

Go to gaf and put a thread about how good it feels  Nintendo basicly abondoned the Wii this year to focus on the 3ds and Pokemon because it allowed a few people to catch up, see how positive the responses will be. 

It's denial, people are trying to cope, I see it on many threads, as PSP fan I went through this, there's nothing positive about this situaion. 

You are 100% right! Nothing against this guys optimism, but I agree that a drought of games is not good by any means.

The drought is not over until Nintendo releases good games again. Its been 4-5 months since the last good wii game. That is unacceptable. Quit defending a company that has clearly made a mistake. Playing older games is great, but justifying the lack of any new games is just foolishness.

^ This, most definitely. To give you an idea, I'm playing Eternal Darkness the 3rd time through, to get the final ending. =D

Sheesh, what does Nintendo have to do to piss some of you people off?

I'm not annoyed by the lack of interesting releases, but that's because I've gotten used to it by now. Games that interest me have been few and generally far between this gen. Been spending more time replaying the older stuff.

I said I didn't get your drift! The people in my bolded statement I was referering to were the "others" in your statment that are being "denied" new releases. And yes, I do prioritize, that's the point. I've prioritized the whole life of the Wii and that means some games that have interested me, but not been on top of the list have had to be left by the wayside. Now that there is not a steady attack of must have games, we are going back and finding those games priority caused us to skip and picking them up and enjoying them.

We aren't justifying anything. I can both desire a new game to drop, while at the same time be relieved with the time I have to play my backlog.

No, I meant threads about the drought  

When was the last good Microsoft game anyway, out of interest? You know, first party...

You know they actually get 3rd party games worth playing ;) And last good Microsoft game was released somewhere in xbox1 times anyway ;)

I can only speak for myself and I'm in no way defending Nintendo. Read the other threads and you'll see that me (and many others) are far from defending Nintendo's 2011 line-up. It's quite the opposite frankly.

You are really making it sound like it's my problem that some gamers have nothing to play. It may sound selfish but I couldn't care less about whether every Wii gamer has games to play or not. That's Nintendo's problem, not mine. I don't work for them nor do I own Nintendo stocks.

As long as there are games for me to play I am happy, and I don't see why some of you are having a problem with that.

Correct it is a postive part of a negative situation. I prefer glass half full you prefer glass half empty in tthis case I can easily still enjoy my half full glass. Plus, whats wrong with some half full glasses around. Boards tend not to have awhole lot of them. They are mostly negative threads full of petty dislike or simply trolling.

Theres already  the other thread that is full of people of the discussion of  Nintendo is so bad I feel screwed with this drought.

THeres a reason why i post here not other sites. IF i wanted nothing buts trolls and people full of rage I would go elsewhere.

Whats to deny? Noone here is disargreeing that nothing is really coming out. Just that it gives us time to finish and/or pick up games we wanted to try before but didnt have the time/money.  THere is plenty of games I would like to play. That my friend is not denial that is a fact. I am far from the first person to use this kind of time to play catch up. Im not the first person to come out and say its nice to have a little bit of a draught. Ive seen in it in other threads before where people are waiting on a certain game for their next purchase and in the meantime playing a game they missed. I dont recall people claiming they are denying things which they are not.

Edit In order to cope you need to feel you are in a situation that requires coping. This is not one of them for some of us.
