What can I say? Your post doesn't leave room for any other interpretation. It is an attack on Nintendo and its fans, reasonable criticism looks differently. There are also doubts that you are a Nintendo fan.

1) Pikmin isn't hard to spell.

2) Nintendo didn't make a single dance game this generation.

3) The Last Story isn't a name that is hard to remember, especially because it is an amazing game.

4) Pandora's Tower is probably not that great, but naming it along with Xenoblade and The Last Story is a popular talking point, because Nintendo of America decided against publishing these games. Looks more like you just threw it in there, because you at least know as much as it sounding like valid criticism. Which it is, coming from the right person. But honestly, your whole post sounds more like covering up.

5) Real Steel, oh my. Okay, at this point I am inclined to believe that names just aren't your strength.

6) MadWorld, The Conduit and Red Steel were not excellent games. Excellent equals high quality, these games weren't even close to deserve this adjective.

7) Red Steel sold a million copies in a matter of months which is a feat for any new IP that releases during a console's launch period.

8) Like the trio of Japanese games, this trio of third party hardcore games is also a popular talking point. Basic stuff you can insert in posts to make them look better. Instead of Red Steel, it's usually No More Heroes though. But the important point here is that you called them "excellent" which strengthens the impression that you are covering up. You don't really care, you could easily be without Nintendo.

9) The "Nintendo patrol squad"? I prefer "Wii Gestapo".

Look, you can prefer Sony and their games, that's fine. But don't pass off this point of view as if it were coming from a former Nintendo fan. "Never tried Zelda, never will." - You would be the first Nintendo fan to say this. Not liking Zelda, okay. But being outspoken against even trying it? Something about your story isn't truthful. And finally:

10) Describing Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower as the games you want while pretty much everything else Nintendo makes doesn't fit your idea of what a game should be. This is the final nail in the coffin. Doesn't sound like you were a Nintendo fan to begin with.

PS: Dissidia is not a Sony game.

Oh my, you took the time to make a list for me. Oh gosh, I'm blushing now. I feel flattered.

Wonderful, how marvelously wonderful. Hahaha. I'm a nintendo fan. Plain and simple. If you think otherwise, well so be it. I got nothing to prove here

Sorry but if Rol hadn't I would have. You obviously never were a "Nintendo fan" from the sounds of it you were just a gamer who owned a Nintendo console and moved on. That is not a fan say I buy Pirates Of the Caribean and think its alright then the sequel comes out and I'm not that interested 3 movies later I still don't like the series. I didn't mind the first film so I call myself a fan. No I am a consumer who purchased one of the movies not a fan.

Also your arguments were hugely flawed. Red Steel was I guess a decent quality game when it launched but it was definitly not excellent. MadWorld was a disaster the game was hopelessly repetitive and lacked any creativity it used gore and violence to try and sell itself. The game was a peice of shit it lacked depth and quality, using its mature rating and gore to try and sell to so called hardcore gamers. As for Conduit it too was a mediocre game, it was the best FPS on Wii at the time but it was nothing to write home about. None of these games deserved to sell more then they did, Conduit2 is probably the only one I think should have performed slightly better since I don't think Conduit one was really that horrible.

As for the Japanese titles, Rol is right you are only mentioning them because you know everyone whines and complains about them. But you probably don't know too much about them and you are obviously oblivious to the business decision and why it was made.

As for new IP your right Sony has created some good IP lately. But you lose me when you mention Resistence having played all three Resistence titles and being a huge FPS fan they were mediocre at best. The first one was the best and the later two just got worse with every installment.

Nintendo is not playing it safe either. While they rely heavily on the success of their existing IP they created around half a dozen new IP this generation. Yah some were casual but Nintendo has had no shortage of new IP. You seem to realize it is not in Nintendo's best interest to abandon its big successful IP in favor of new IP. Yet you argue they should, well that just doesn't make sense.

Nintendo is going to bring more new IP to the table. But they will not stop supporting their existing IP. One of Sony's biggest mistakes is allowing their IP to die. Sony should have made sure they held onto Spyro and Crash they should have ensured that Sony's internal studios didn't let any franchise selling more then a million or two copies die. It was poor business decisions by Sony that has lead to their current first party software collapse.

A Nintendo fan who is against Zelda and such is not a Nintendo fan as Rol said. Even if you didn't enjoy Zelda as much as everyone else you would not be against trying it. That right their screams hostile fanboy and judging from your post your a Sony fan who dislikes Nintendo!
