They are losing me too, I can't believe I just said that.

Do you want to know what consoles are hooked up to my TV right now? an Xbox360, a PS3, Snes and my ever trusty N64 (<3). I haven't had my wii set up in at least 2 months. last time I played on it was at christmas when the family were playing wii fit.

Do you know what the problem is? Nintendo have forsaken it's fans. They have gone to the mass market over the existing fanbase. They don't see F-Zero/Pilotwings and the like to be worth developing because wii play and carnival games sells so well.

Please ninty, release a good Pilotiwngs game and for gods sake please don't fuck up pikmin 3

Again with this. Where's the proof that they've foresaken their fans? They've had all their studios working, and have put out outstanding iterations of all their top franchises. It certainly feels like there has been a dearth of top-quality games, but thats more a matter of poor planning than an underutilization of resources. What could they be doing further that they aren't doing now?

 

To tell the truth out of their top franchises only SMG was outstanding... TP was good, but basically a rehashed OOT for the GC. Brawl and MK were hardly different or better than the GC versions that you could keep playing on your Wii, and I greatly prefer Metroid Prime to MP3 (pacing, atmosphere,challenge).

Overall it all seems a bit formulaic, though they are still good games.
