Why does Nintendo take that long to make games compared to HD consoles?

I don't want a 360 nor a PS3, I want a Nintendo console with Nintendo games to play. I thought I would be getting that when I bought my Wii, but it looks like it was only for the first year. I really hate how they could care less about America, where they don't release games at all. Is getting asking for a core game once every 3 months a lot? Maybe Nintendo fired many people that's the only reasonable thing to expect, since they aren't producing any games at all.

Well, that's just me, I like their games too much, but I hate how they rely on a game every 6 months to get sales, and mainly by creating artificial demand, like in MKWii's case. I mean there's no way the game could be supply constrained for that long. I wonder what will they do now that Wii Music has failed to be the holiday hit like Wii Fit was last year in Japan It looks like it's all in AC:CF hands, but I really don't care anymore. I wanted Nintendo to succeed, but not to the point where money is the only important thing for them.

People could argue all they want about how many units have MKWii, Wii Fit and SSBB have sold, but the truth is that there was nothing like an epic game released this year, and neither will be next year. Honestly, who expects more games for the Wii from Nintendo in 2009? Wii Sports Resort and GC ports are a very poor line-up.

And no I won't buy another console, because I don't care about any of the games they have, but I will keep on complaining because I bought a Wii with the hopes of getting games from Nintendo to play. There's no denying that core gamers who buy a Wii are Nintendo fans mostly. But Nintendo is screwing their fans hard. Getting 1 game every year is not what I expected, I want Reggie to be fired badly, he destroyed Nintendo of America.

 

 There was nothing like an epic game released this year? Okay, Nintendo released 2 of their biggest franchises. What did you expect? Zelda every year? Nintendo averages 1 game release pr month. 23 games in 100 weeks. If you're only happy with 1/3 of the games Nintendo releases, and you only like Nintendo games (you said "I want a Nintendo console with Nintendo games to play."), then you're pretty much screwed any way you go. You're in a ridiculously small minority, and no-one is going to give you the games you want. So stop complaining, it won't help, and A) Try out the games and see if you like them B) Buy another console, I'm sure the games are better than you expect or C) Give up on gaming.
