Against the grain: What Nintendo SHOULD have done/should do with the Wii

Yeah, I do not play many puzzle games. I enjoy tetris and Proffesor Layton, but that is mostly it.

Back on topic though, Nintendo should have put more emphasis on the vc and they should have had a larger flash drive or a hard drive attachment. They also need a new fzero and star fox game.

VC was and is not a priority for Nintendo. That's Wiiware. I hate to say this because I was one of the people eargly waiting for it but is understandable. VC is more or a treat for the core fans and lapsed gamers, with Nostalgia being a huge factor. Is important but not Top priority while Wiiware is to give independent studios and even the big ones a platform to make small scale games with low budgets and  more importantly to find new talent and genres. Like Iwatta said, "to find the new tetris". It makes sense, why focus in the past instead of the future?

 After 4 years is obvious that the storage issue  wasn't a huge deal and we should drop that argument now. Is useless, silly and the reality is that it didn't affect sales at all. If a HD was that important then gamers would have switched to the HD twins and that's not happening. It would be nice yeah true but it could manage without it very well. Maybe next console may correct that.

I am pretty sure that they are working on them. Both franchises were never very succesful so they are not very important. Although the same could be said of Metroid and they made 2 games but we all know how terrible the 2d one faired..I guess that they are making them for the WM but who knows..

I ran out of space in  mid 2007 and it took a while for them to finally release a solution so space was a problem. It may have affected sales, maybe not hardware, but software sales on the vc. As for wiiware being their priority, I would like a link to that quote by Iwata.
