C+ or B- The launch itself wasn't too bad, but after that we had five months of nothing but Ocarina of Time and Dead or Alive. Things have picked up since September, what with a medley of major releases, online improvements, and system updates you actually want, but the fact that so many of the games are remakes and ports doesn't do any special favors, despite relatively good 3rd party support. Plus, the lack of new IPs other than Pushmo, though not entirely its fault, is no boon to the system. Not bad for the first year, but still a first year.
Give it another three months, during which time we should get new retail titles like Resident Evil and Luigi's Mansion/Kid Icarus along with downloadable titles like Mutant Mudds and Mighty Switch Force, and it should be at least a solid B.
Love and tolerate.
