I feel let down by Nintendo

[Game_boy]

I am a loyal Nintendo fan. I have bought an N64, a GBC, a GC, a GBA, two DSs and a Wii. I love Mario, Metroid, Pokémon, Smash Bros. and Animal Crossing. I only buy AAA first-party titles because I love the style. I have personal objections to Microsoft and never was interested in what Sony had to offer.

Whgen the DS and later the Wii launched, I was pleased that Nintendo had innovated and this had paid off with phenomenal hardware sales. I waited for the games to appear, and by Q3 2006 I was really excited - for the first time, so many first-party titles had been announced I wasn't sure I'd be able to buy them all.

Here's what happened:

In 2006:

"Wow. This is going to be the best year for Nintendo ever: Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Yoshi's Island 2 Zelda: TP and Pokemon D/P!"

Mario, Metroid and Pokemon are delayed; YIDS was poor; Zelda was nice but not stunning for me.

In 2007:

"Wow. This is going to be the best year for Nintendo ever: Super Paper Mario, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wii Fit, new Advance Wars and Pokemon D/P!"

Super Paper Mario was an easy and boring platformer rather than the excellent RPG I expected, Metroid got made linear and standard-FPS-like, Brawl was delayed, Wii Fit was delayed except Japan, Pokemon D/P was exactly the same as Pokemon Red I bought nearly ten years ago and Advance Wars was Q1 2007 rather than Q4 as was suggested before.

In 2008:

"Wow. This is going to be the best year for Nintendo ever: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wii Fit, new Advance Wars and Mario Kart Wii!"

...what next? I feel let down by Nintendo, and all I wanted was new and worthy iterations of Mario, Metroid and Smash Bros. I have a Wii next to my TV just waiting for them.
