Wii won this gen. Theres no reason to pump out more games

So +90m of users that put their money on the system doesn´t deserve any more good games more thatn a few at years?

 

That's what a HATE of Nintendo politics of drop a system after the announce of a new one... that hapenned with N64 and NGC, now with the Wii and the Ds too... they just don´t care about the people that already invested on their systems...

I think the problem here is that Nintendo was confident about their few releases. Mario Sport Mix has the Mario brand name and were expecting big sales, maybe something between 5-6M WW. Wii Play Motion was a succesor of a game that sold almost 30M. The game of Cases of whatever (new ip iirc) was a flop, like Flingsmash last year. Plus some third party games like MW3, Raymans Origin, Mario and Sonic and Just Dance 3; and some first like Zelda and Kirby.

I can't blame exactly the third partys. They always were and will be plus to buy a Nintendo console, but not the first party, which are the main reason. During 2009, they release Wii Sports Resorts in summer, Wii Fit Plus in fall and NSMBWii at holidays with a price cut and sell a lot.

This year, the wanted to do something like that with a redesign, and some deals like the new color and bundles. Problem? At least to me, the crowd that bought those games in 2009 were not the same that bought the games in 2010. Zelda and Kirby are more of the kind of SMG2, M:OM, Epic Mickey, GoldenEye and DKCR. But 2 games and the end of the year is not enough. For the other crwod? Only Just Dance 3.

We can't expect to have the same amount of games like last year and maybe they are making the ones for a succesful Wii U launch, but cannot deny this year Wii was a wasteland.

I dont really get it sony and microsoft consoles are fueled by third party if the 360 got as many good 3rd party games as the wii in 2011 it would be in the same boat. Nintendo is partially to blame but they cant force other developrs to make games for the wii especialy when their focusing on the wiiu and 3ds.

Respectable meta scores Wii exclusives this year: Kirby and Legend of Zelda: SS.  Plus an arcade market that was probably nonexistant

For 360: Forza 4, Gears of War 3, Count Kinect titles over 75 if you want, and arguably the best list of 2011 arcade games.  360 had a disappointing year, but no where near a 1/10 level.

Not saying the 360 didnt have good first party titles. I was saying that it is fueld way more by third party than nintendo and if it would have got as few good thrid party games as nintendo it probably would have looked almost as bad. neither console deserrves a 1/10 and 360 of course had a better year.

Sure. People are still buying the Wii.

Last year it sold as much as competitors. And that year was not only about Kirby or Zelda.  Mario Kart Wii/NSMB continue to sell like crazy and Just Dance 3/M&S London2012  were mayor hits. People buy the Wii not just for new games, but for it´s classic games too. Besides, Nintendo had to concentrate their efforts in the development of WiiU and launch of the 3DS

Attitudes like that leave a bad taste in people's mouths when the next generation comes around.


Well in MS and Sonys case the 3rd party industry will keep 360 and PS3 going for years after the next gen hits.

Nintendo will be another story. But in Wiis case it never had the core gamers on their side, just Nintendo fans. There is some overlap offcourse but you get the idea. Most dedicated Wii gamers allready moved on or will afyer finishing Skyward Sword.

Ya ive always noticed Nintendo was cruel in this aspect.

When they move on.....they REALLY move on.

A bit harsh
well i'd give it a 5/10.
Patcher is right. Ninty waited tooo long to release the Wii-HD. Shoulda struck with it 2 years ago or 2010 at the latest

Sadly, that's right. Thankfully next generation Nintendo learns to make a console with modern shaders and easy to make ports/develop as base console to make ports to other consoles.

3DS seems fine with the MTFramework (Capcom) and Vigil Games news about DSII development are very good.
