Wii's Holiday Lineup - Post E3 examination and discussion

[Ian]

I think Nintendo's E3 presentation and first party software offerings for this Holiday season are insultingly bad.

Animal Crossing, Mario Baseball, Wario, and Wii Music are their holiday line up? That's what they are providing for their fans this year? For a company as large as Nintnedo that's just pathetic.

Their refusal to invest in expanding software development over the years has become increasingly evident for anyone who wants to look. When you compare what they are delivering software wise, verses last gen, it's just like the Cube all over again.

And the third party offerings for Wii are just awful when compared to the competition. I challenge anyone here to look at a full list of upcomming third party games for Wii and compare it to 360's or PS3's. It's just sad.


Predictions- 1. Wii music will not sell as well as Wii fit due to existing/superior competition in the music game genre (nintendo games sell the best with no competition). 2. Wii Sports 2 will be delayed untill next summer 3. my sister will begin rambling to me about collecting bugs and the new furniture in her house or something and Animal Crossing will sell better than the last one by at least 2 million. 4. Nintendo will show the next zelda a year from now and everyone will forget about having to wait around for said year 5. In the mean time I'll be playing Gears 2, Fallout 3, Dead Space, Silent hill, Bioshock, Far Cry, Prince of Persia, Bionic Commando, SF4, Killzone, Socom, Resistance 2, Siren, Wipeout, Motorstorm 2, and Little Big Planet this fall/winter. 6. my Wii will continue to collect dust or be loaned to my sister after I beat Fatal Frame 4 and Wario.
