An argument I would accept is "Nintendo hasn't offered any NEW IPs this Gen".

However... look back at Nintendo's library... they've already offered one game for most of their most valued IPs. And there's pretty strong hints that more games are coming (Kid Ic, Fzero, more Mario/Zelda/Pik/Poke/Etc)... and they've release info about more Wiisportsie/musicie stuff as well as Animal Crossing (which I hate but lots enjoy... stupid DS game that I own... gr..) How can they be dissed, really? First party stuff for Nintendo has, in the past 10 or so months, already hit a several home runs. They've received 'breaks' before. Can't they get a couple months reprieve now? As far as I'm concerned it should be third parties who are to blame for the lack of "new" stuff for Wii.

C'mon guys. Lots of us have it, already. We like it. Give us some stuff that isn't SOOOOOO niche, thanks.

(or just announce DQ10 for Wii and I won't care about anything else, thanks)

 

 

Also... doesn't anyone else from the 80s remember just how much CRAP was released on the NES? AND the SNES??

First off, welcome to the forums. Judging from this post, it looks like you'll be a pleasant addition.

I share much of your attitude, especially since I lived through the Great Drought of N64. Nintendo's been flooding the Wii with games since its inception, releasing more games for it than any other publisher has released for any system during the same time period. And yes, those games have included a ton of heavy hitters, including its top-tier games.

That said, I do have a bit of sympathy for the whiners. Not because I think they're correct, but because they're consumers who just want more more more. Receiving this deluge has simply whetted their apetites and expectations. And a small, unreasonable part of me agrees (I wanted my Pikmin 3). If our demands could spur Nintendo to greater heights, then it behooves us to demand.

Of course, they won't, so we needn't bother, but I still understand the sentiment, even if I don't share it. My point, if I have any, is to not be so harsh on those wanting more, so long as they don't start retconning history or engaging in hysterics.
