| Kyros said: 2- All those titles you mentioned? If we figure out the average amount of time between first hype and release i'd be shocked if it was under a year and a half. True but now they are coming. The first year was annoying because there was not much to play for the PS3. But the next year looks pretty amazing. Totally opposite to the Wii. The first 18 months had Zelda, Smash, Galaxy, Kart, Metroid, the next 6-9 months Nothing, nil, zilch. That's the difference Nintendo fired out of every barrel during the first year because they thought this was necessary to kickstart the Wii (which worked) Sony was too confident. Now the gaming pipeline is reversed. |
Wow that right there is a perfect example of something going in one ear and out the other. You definitely read what I wrote but didn't understand it at all, did you?
Saying Nintendo has nothing left is ridiculous because like I said they don't want to keep hyping titles for years. 2009 (when more than half the games you listed are coming out) is a complete unknown for Nintendo. You look at that as them having nothing left which is ridiculous because they won't announce their '09 lineup until 09 actually starts. The only reason they went ahead and announced Wii Sports Resort was to get the attention of mainstream press at E3. They know the core gamers will listen to any random announcement in the middle of January so there was no reason to hype up their core titles then.
Infact i'm confident enough of this to make the following prediction: Before GT5, which you yourself mentioned as an "upcoming title", comes out Nintendo will release Kid Icarus and at least one other first party Nintendo core game we haven't even heard about yet.
