As I posted in someone elses thread about the same thing; 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. |
I'll add two predictions to your post.
7) You will continue to make posts with absurd claims like "(w)hen you compare what they are delivering software wise, verses last gen, it's just like the Cube all over again."
8) The rest of us will continue to laugh at you.
But welcome to the forums!

7. Explain to me how the software Nintendo has delivered on Wii is so different than what they delivered on Cube. Both in quality on quantity it's almost exactly the same. All they've done is add in a few tech demo/edutainment productes (Wii sports, Wiifit, and now Wiimusic) to fill in the gaps a bit. They continue to produce the same thing year after year and yet everyone acts like it's new now just because it's popular. Let me tell you someting, just because everyone is buying it up doesn't make it different or new, just better marketed and cheaper than the competition.
8. laugh all you want playing Wiimusic and Animal Crossing this fall (the equivalent of Sony only announcing Singstar and Buzz as their holiday lineup, lol). I have spent years as a Nintendo fan, have owned all of their systems, and I love their AAA stuff. But Nintendo's line up this years just plain sucks. I don't care how you spin it. Have fun waiting around for software. I'm done doing that.
