"How can you claim that a company that has produced games like Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and Super Smash Bros. Brawl has "totally forgotten how to make good games"?"
I guess I need to clarifty what I meant by that. Nintendo has totally forgotten how to make original IPs. They've been getting by on Mario, Zelda, and Metroid since the 1980's and SSB since the nineties (but it makes use of the same characters they've been using to sell their games since the eighties.) Same games for people that love to buy the same things over and over. Now, I guess you'll bring up Wii Sports (Metacritic score of 76 only sold so well because it was bundled with the Wii), and Wii Fit (Metacritic score of 80 partly its sales in America can be attributed to Ellen Degeneris' endorsement of the game).
Some other scores for games that could be considered new IP's for Nintendo. Excite Truck their attempt at a new "core" ip -- Metacritic score = 72. I'm not looking for Wii Music, Disaster: Day of Crisis, or Animal Crossing Wii to do much better.
My most anticipated games: Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort. Cave Story Wiiware.
