Some comment on whys from my point of view.
WM+ and WiiSports Resort were unveiled last year and it comes out in a couple of weeks. This is a definite negative to the Nintendo score. Had they been brand new introductions the value would be signifigantly higher. Also as for WM+ to many in the mainstream and to many people I know they thought they already had this with the Wii.
Metroid - Yes it is different this time with Tecmo, but I was like jeez another Metroid. Yes Sony and MS have sequels to games as well, but they have had a great deal more big releases between them and didnt just announce a 3 pack of the other Metroid games for the Wii just a couple of weeks back.
SMG2 and NSMB - Similiar could have been said about SMG2 and NSMB and it does become even more so the issue with them both being Mario platformers. It doesnt help much that the SMG2 looks just like SMG and NSMB is perceived as mostly a DS port.
Wii Vitality Sensor - Not only people were like whats that for, but i was also wondering (have seen a couple articles that bring this up as well) why attached to the WiiMote. Why not a pulse monitor watch like device that wireless connects to the Wii. Why a wired attachment to the WiiMote.
Also to many (me included) Nintendo and Sony press conferences are actually 4 press conferences because of supporting both portable and console. MS spent nearly 2 nonstop hours showing content and cool stuff for just 1 console. Nintendo spent 1 hour on 2 consoles and still had time for statistics. Sony was in the middle with 1.5 hours of content spread across 2 platforms and had time for statistics.

You're joking right? Prime 3 was released in 07 and Other M will come in 2010 at the earliest. In that same gap of time Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo 3 ODST, and Halo Reach will all happen. I don't think anyoen can pretend to be exasperated with a series that went on an 8 year haitus versus one that has only been ramping up its entries by an alarming amount.

With just announcing the pack of the GameCube Metroids and Prime 3 a couple of weeks ago and the fact that Nintendo has so many other IPs that people are almost begging for Nintendo to make it does seems like jeez another Metroid.

Oh really. And what games are Metroid and Team Ninja stopping? Star Fox, which just had an entry a few years ago? Or maybe Pikmin, even though we know another one is in the works? Or maybe Zelda, which again, has two games on the way. Oh, I know, Kirby, but wait, that's coming too. Maybe Golden Sun - wait, that was announced. Mario? Two of those coming. Punch Out? No, that just made a comeback. Sin and...nope, that was on the show floor.
What were you complaining about? Oh right, a Metroid compilation is completely ruining Nintendo's line up and a new game is not allowed to be made for at least another decade because re-releases are even more demanding.
