With the current thread about Capcom making Wii owners "very happy, very soon" comments, it just got me thinking about how many times you as a gamer have been tricked into thinking something awesome is coming and it turns out to be another POS unoriginal game. I put this in the gaming section simply because people can be disappointed across all platforms, unfortunately all my disappointments lye with Nintendo systems.
Disappointments:
Capcoms big announcement of a game that is being ported from the 360. Turns out to be Dead Rising. At this point I dont have a 360 and am super psyched for this. Then I find out more details, see screenshots, and I always had thought Capcom could do no wrong. Now I own a 360 and a copy of Dead Rising I picked up for 15 dollars.
Resident Evil 4 and RE:UC both sell over 1 million, RE:5 announced with nothing for Wii in mind. Granted now they are talking about something that will please us, and apparently by reading on the forums all it takes is a remake or another on rails shooter to do so. The only remake I would enjoy is RE2 and it better be a damn good remake and not a rushed shit port.
Nintendo's E3. This in part is IGN's fault. They talked this up to be the most badassery event for Nintendo since sliced bread came about. I woke up and sat at my computer and listened to the entire thing. Wow, that's all I could say. 360 gets an announcement that FFXIII is coming their way, Nintendo gets...? Oh ya, Wii fit sales, Shaun White on stage, Wii Music, and an overshadowed announcement of Pikmin 3.
No Street Fighter IV for the Wii. Again, IGN's fault. Jumped on the home page and they posted a trailer for the game on the Wii's page (before the game had any consoles attached to it), no SFIV for Wii. no no.
There are more I'm sure, which is why I created this thread. Reading through I realize that I sound really really bitter. Which I kinda was at the time, but I decided to go out and buy a 360, now I can enjoy both worlds. But I'm still a Nintendo guy and I have always felt like I've been shit on with Every console I've owned aside from the NES (which I was too young to really appreciate).
I have yet to experience any real disappointments or letdowns with the 360 yet, I just got it months ago. But I'm sure there are people out there, especially PS3 only owners, I'd be pissed that 360 is snagging exclusivity rights from games and getting exclusives that PS3 owners don't get to see.
So please, I feel this is simple enough to take some time and share how you have been let down in the past by the gaming industry or how you have been built up to insurmountable levels of expectation to only be shot down to the ground you stand on.
Currently playing: Okami (Wii), The World Ends With You (DS), and Shenmue (Dreamcast)
