I don't understand why so many people think the Wii suck cause it has enough hardcore games to keep me satisfied. |
I'm not satisfied with the amount of first party titles Nintendo is releasing this fall. Am I dissapointed in Nintendo for not releasing Pikmin3/Donkey Kong or maybe Zelda and Mario titles, a little but I understand why they are holding back. Nintendo is banking titles to release when the Wii needs saving. Right now the Wii sales are amazing Nintendo can't keep the machine in stock so why waste your AAA+ games during some of the biggest success they've had in a decade.
Nintendo also is holding back to give third parties an easy victory over Nintendo's usually dominant first party games. Games like The Conduit are going to sell succesfully because the hardcore gamers don't have the newest Metroid Prime or Zelda game to keep their pockets dry.
How many hardcore games is enough for a console?
I'd like to say you can never have enough hardcore games but their comes a time when the hardcore gamers just can't buy all of the solid games. For me I demand about 12 hardcore or at least Nintendo franchise oriented titles to keep me satisfied. This year their just isn't enough Nintendo franchise based hardcore games.
That being said I am buying HarvestMoon for my September month game, Animal Crossing for my November and The Conduit for December (Assuming it comes this fall)
So yes I'm dissapointed their is only one Nintendo franchise mainstream title coming out. But this gives third parties free reign and a chance to break into the shovel wear infested Wii marketspace!
