Who will win E3 and why?

@Dodece:

...Why are you asking me to rate timeliness if my opinion in terms of subjective qualities is irrelevant? Do you realize how backwards that is?

What defines a franchise "pedigree"?

I don't care what you've owned and what you've bought or what you've played, just that you're wrong.

Look, in the first place, my statement that the core titles are here is in reference to the fact that you claim tha Nintendo has let core values slip away - you're free to take it as an invitation to, you know, back up your claims.

In the first 2.5 years of its life, the Wii has had a Mario, a Mario Kart, a Mario Party, a Metroid, a Zelda, a Pokemon title, Punch-Out, Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, WarioWare, a proper Wario game, a Fire Emblem, a Smash Bros... the Gamecube took 5 years to get some of these titles, where it had any of them at all.

And no, you having more Gamecube games than Wii games isn't sad. The Gamecube had an effective lifespan of over 5 years. That just shows that your perspective on the "timeliness" of Nintendo's core title releases is unnecessarily narrow.
