I feel let down by Nintendo

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.

 

The forums really could use a Tissue Dispenser button.

Seriously, you don't like some of the games, big deal.   Do your research before you buy them, rent them, read up on them.  Don't buy something you'll regret and then whine about it later.

If you bought the Wii because of the hype or just because it was Nintendo then that was your choice.  Some people actually find games on it they'd like to play before they get one.  They're the happy customers.  A lot of people like games like Metroid Prime 3  and Twilight Princess you know, so do you like insulting all those people?  Is that your intent?

And also, people are disappointed by Brawl being delayed but notice how the rest of us aren't getting on a soap box to cry about it?  Some of us actually realize that it'll still be an awesome game whether it's released in December or February.  That won't change.

If you really are bored with your Wii, give it to someone else and buy a 360/PS3.
