well let me try and curb this discussion back to being on topic.

yes i agree, nintendo should absolutlely show more motion plus games.  the part i'm angry about is that motion plus was released june 2009 and we are now discussing about what nintendo should announce E3 2011.  after two years - wii sports resort and fling smash is a very very disappointed effort on nintendos part.

your thread is right on the money ... 2 years ago.


Oh, I'm not denying that they should have showed it off sooner. I think they got caught up in hoping Super Mario Galaxy 2 would finally get 3D Mario to get 2D Mario sales, and for Other M to break the series into mainstream, that they lost track of showing off that controller, and since those two games didn't do what they wanted, they need to get back on that direction.

That's not an excuse for them taking so long, just my supposition on why it did.

well i can 100% agree with you and what they should do but frankly, i don't think it is going to go down like that.   i look at the basket of unsupported peripherals nintendo got me to buy and then never support with games and i fully expect nintendo to just throw the entire wii hardware into that basket as well.  my money is on the new hardware taking the spotlight and nintendo dropping support for the wii altogther.  looking at this year's releases it really appears like they already have.


Again, I bring up that gap between now and the release of the next system. Anything later than the end of this year would be long enough to lose momentum needed to keep their customer base, get any new ones if they find another killer app, and keep revenue high.

Coasting is not a financially viable option unless they want to pull a Saturn surprise with the next system. That's why I say they won't do it.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
