Nintendo lost me in the PS1/Sat/N64 era. I don't hate them but I changed the way I play games and what I like about games. Nintendo seem unable to create games that talk to my tastes. I really like games with stories I could relate to in a certain way where I can see myself being the main character. I like cinematic games with different camera angles and deep music. I like life like graphics even if it's set in a fantasy world (why I like Oblivion).
I need my car simulations, my best game this gen is Mass Effect 2, I like games like Uncharted and Demon Soul, where's my Burnout or Trials HD on Nintendo consoles?
Sony and Microsoft publish games that set the tone for third party devs. Like someone said, Microsoft published Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon so third parties aren't afraid to release RPGs on the console. If Nintendo released some more different games than their usual mascotts I'm sure third party devs wouldn't be affraid to do the same. You gotta realise that if Nintendo doesn't create different games than those kiddy games it's like they're affraid these games are not going to sell. So if the console manufacturer is affraid of publishing these different games, why would third parties do it?
This is how I view Nintendo consoles since the N64. The Gamecube had a lot of good games published by Nintendo but these devs left, Rare, Silicon Knight and Factor 5 to name a few.
I don't hate Nintendo I respect what they do, but I'm not afraid to say that imo Nintendo consoles are mainly for kids and the family. Just like Kinect right now... hehh why would third party devs develop big games for Kinect if MS doesn't do it first? Well guess what, they do and third parties will follow. This is what Nintendo should be doing imo.
