What's more amazing is how supposedly lifelong Nintendo fans only appreciate games like Super Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess.

I appreciate many types of game, and have owned various different consoles over the years (see games list). Other than not being an FPS person, I'd say I've played various different types of game over the years, certainly enough to have an opinion.

Are you going to tell me with a straight face, that the Wii has an illustrious selection of games for all tastes and I'm completely delusional?

I say that you are clearly overstating your status of Nintendo loyalty. Since you are so in love with the SNES, it logically follows that you have problems with Nintendo for three generations already. What your incomplete games collection tells me is that Zelda seems to be the main reason why you kept bothering with Nintendo at all through all these years.

In fairness, you are right there; I have had critical things to say about Nintendo during the last three generations. This does not mean I don't love and treasure the essence of what Nintendo is about, despite feeling a bit let down by the Wii. 

My incomplete game collection is incomplete, largely because the system for adding games seems a bit tempremental and a lot of my faves appear to just not be on there, a lot of old stuff is missing.  If anything, it has been the Mario and Mario Kart games that have kept me running back to the big N, as well as Zelda. I certainly couldn't care less for Pokemon et al.

As for overstating loyalty, as time moves on I have started to question the concept of blind, enduring loyalty to one company. However, I will always buy nintendo consoles in the spirit of hope, even if they're second consoles.

I do not deny being very much in love with the SNES, and indeed the SNES/Megadrive era. There is no shame in that, surely.
