There should be a forum rule against these threads.

Having genres underserved on a platform with a 50 million userbase, a control scheme much well suited for FPS games, and cheap development costs should simply not happen. I blame third parties. |
just as what Nintendo will expect. Therell be a video game implosion and when the dust settles nintendo will survive and creating a new gaming industry. If 3rd parties dont want to cooperate THEN DONT. The gaming industry shouldnt focus on third parties anyway... Besides, there are developers in Nintendo they dont need third parties
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out

There aren´t developers in Nintendo
Only toy fabricant´s
Wii users don't want "hardcore" titles as much as casual..So why should Square Enix,Thq,EA or any other company even try?
Nintendo is happy enough when they bring 1-3 Marios per year, and 1-3 Wii series,then sometimes Zeldas..And so they don't need to do much effort since it sells still more than other consoles.
Take my love, take my land..
360 owners dont want casual as much as hardcore. doesnt stop guitar hero and rock band form being successfull.
also do you think nointendo just givers the rest of their teams a year off if a casual title does well?
nintendo fanboy, but the good kind

The Op can't be serious can it? Firstly, what happened to mario?
Secondly, I never knew the Wii has ended production. So no more Zelda, Metroid, etc games, oh wait nvm the Wii still has games coming unlike the gamecube. The Wii also has been on the market less than the gamecube was. Let's ignore that though, we WANT Nintendo to not have any hardcore games to back them up so we can bitch about it.
And then, we have the idea to say Fire Emblem doesn't count because it wasn't developed with the Wii in mind. Oh and let's just ignore the Two Mario games, Sin & Punishment 2, Metroid Other M, Zelda Wii, Pikmin 3, and probably countless others that have yet to be released for the Wii. All we want to do is bitch about Nintendo until they make the next game that revolutionizes a genre.

I think that too. Third parties hasn't done anything to sell hardware, all they do is tag along for the ride to sell their software. I actually think Yamauchi's vision of the N64 with only quality games and third parties kept on a short leash would be better for gamers. Too bad about the choice of medium, and ... well other complications. but still, a console with only quality games and a strong first party ruler would probably be my favourite console since I buy few games and expect the games I buy to be good.
I LOVE ICELAND!
The Wii has plenty of core games from Nintendo and their second partys that weren't originally designed for the GameCube.
Super Mario Galaxy (with a sequel on the way) - New Super Mario Bros Wii - Mario Kart Wii
Super Smash Bros Brawl - Disaster Day of Crisis - Wario Land: The Shake Dimension
PunchOut! - Excite Truck
Just because Fire Emblem, Super Paper Mario, Twilight Princess & Mario Party 8 started life as GC projects doesn't make them any less valid as proper core wii titles. Seem's like Wii has had plenty of core support from Nintendo to me. Remember they ressurected the Punchout! and Excite franchises on Wii. Don't forget Metroid and Zelda both have games designed from the ground up for Wii coming in 2010-11 and a new Pikmin is in development too. And I'm sure Mario Party 9 will be here soon enough. Oh and there's a little something called Sin & Punishment 2 as well. Core gaming is in great health on Wii. If you doon't think so then either your tastes have changed or you don't 'get' the console.
One look at Nintendo's financial status will show they have not invested too heavily into the expanded market. If they had just done a GC 2 the core still would be complaining and Nintendo would be in a much poorer state of financial health.

You didn't mention anything about when the PS3 dropped to $300 and it was outselling the Wii. That's when Nintendo had to drop the price of the Wii, so yes price is everything.
