You were never a fan of Nintendo if a series like Animal Crossing would destroy your faith in the company that created Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc.

Come on, now... Those are great games.  Nintendo started down the quick-buck path with MK:Wii.  Animal Crossing is a complete ripoff, though.  I have a LOT of hourse in Animal Crossing on the 'cube and DS... I expected something a bit more, well, innovative from Nintendo of all companies.  Hell, all the town officials are the same exact animals right down to the gate guards.  If you aren't offended by a blatant ripoff, well, enjoy your next ones...  Regardless, I'm on the sideline for the duration.  Something new is going to have to come along that blows doors off -- like SMG -- to get me to buy another Nintendo title. 

Keep in mind this is FIRST PARTY.  I'd understand if it was a 3rd party ripoff, but from Nintendo themselves?  I assumed, given the long delay to deliver the game since the Wii was launched that it was "in development" and would be a very new experience.  Reality is that they were just timing it for the best sales opportunity and major development never really happened.  This was a cobbled together version of AC that borrowed from the 'Cube and DS versions and doesn't really do anything to make the series fresh again.

And don't even try to lecture me on being a true Nintendo Fan.  I have had every Nintendo console and handheld with the exception of the virtual boy.  I've played and finished so many games on Nintendo platforms that I lost track a long time ago.  I bought a Wii before I ever even considered the 360 and PS3 and was a staunch defender of gameplay over graphics.  With this latest iteration of AC, however, both gameplay AND graphics went out of the window.  What's left?  A 6 year old game that has be relabeled to catch a few million suckers.


 

There's always Pikmin remade for the Wii. Oh, wait..

I can't wait.
