Confused gamer: Why is one of these situations better than the other?

LOL

Sorry for the all-caps LOL here, but all of you guys are hilarious. Why? Because all of you guys, without you realizing it, have set yourself up for a major letdown with all of the hype from E3.

First of all, Ninty did NOT let you "hardcore" fans down. Not at the least bit. I know, I know. They did not announce any of those "hardcore" games in their conference like Madworld, The Conduit, Fatal Frame 4, etc. etc.

Boo-F***ing-hoo

I'm so sorry that Nintendo has hurt your feelings, but really, grow up and think. This isn't your old E3 anymore. This is now a BUSINESS SUMMIT, not a GAME'S CONVENTION. This is not about the gamers anymore, but for the media. That is one thing that is changed recently in this day in age. And if the news now goes to the mainstream media, what do you think they will get more excited about? Wii Sports Resort, with easy access controls for many fun sports designed for everybody, or Madworld, the game that makes dismemberment, blood and gore look fun? The obvious answer is Wii Sports. If they were to do what Sony did and just focus on the core games, the rest of those casual games would be forgotten, all the casuals would think Nintendo has lost them and that now videogames is no more for them but for the "hardcore" gamers instead. Instead, they focused on the casual games for the mainstreams and the rest of the world is happy.....except you.

"Oh, but what about us, the gamers would sacrificed blood, sweat and tears and pulled Nintendo out of its problems for all those years??"

Did Ninty say that there will be no more hardcore games for you? Nintendo released Super Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda, Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Battalion Wars, Fire Emblem etc. etc. and you all have the gall to forget all of that and just start whining for more games?

Nintendo released the most first-party games in their library in all of their history in the first 18 months of its cycle and yet here you are complaining that they haven't talked about more games?!?

Have any of you thought that maybe.....maybe....their is a strategy behind it? That maybe....just maybe....they want the Wii to be like the DS, the most successful system Nintendo released and will soon be (according to the stats and if it continues to sell the way it is) the most successful system ever???

What did they do on the DS? Well, they first released the system with all of their own first-party options. Then they slowly start putting in less and less of their own offerings while third-party companies put in more and more of their games in instead. What is the result? While the DS have excellent Ninty games like New Super Mario Bros., Phantom Hourglass and Animal Crossing, they also have Phoenix Wright games, Castlevania games, and some of the best fRPG's a single system can have, including Dragon Quest IX.

Maybe now Nintendo is starting to release their influence on the system and are allowing the third-party companies influence. Sure, there will be crap on it just like the DS. But there will also be gems as well like Madworld and the Conduit and a whole lot more. After all of that crap about how you guys wanted "good third-party games" on the Wii, after your disappointment about Ninty's conference, you all forgot about the good third-party games?

And don't tell me how some of you were just disappointed about how Ninty didn't talk about it. Instead of paying attention to their conference, maybe you should have paid attention to the third-party conferences and realize that Nintendo just wanted them to talk about their own games. Cuz now Nintendo is not going to overshadow Capcom and Sega and all of their offerings with their own offerings, but instead let them shine on E3 on their own.

So, the summary? Instead of whining about no Nintendo games that you like announced at their conference, realize that {a} This E3 is not about appeasing to gamers anymore, but to the mainstream media, {b} Nintendo needs to advertise about the casual games or they will be forgotten quickly by all the "shiny graphics" games, {c} Nintendo is prolly following the method of announcing games that are ready (the plan everyone like naznatips just mentioned), {d} that Ninty is making the Wii the next DS and are just letting the third-party companies have more influence while stepping back and {e} they are following {d} by letting them do their own announcing and see for themselves that they will be responsible for their own success and failures.

(sorry for the long rant)
