You do realize of coarse that your lists amount to about two really good games per year. That qualifies as starvation. While the other platforms average six or more per year. That qualifies as being well fed. Not to mention the fact that Nintendo was never consistent in delivery. They would leave players hanging for months on end without anything, but casual crap. I think it also needs to be said that your eye for quality is quite obviously atrocious. Either that or you were trying to pad your list.

A good number of titles on your list did not achieve a meta score of over ninety. Excite Truck, Super Paper Mario, both of the Kirby Games, one of the Metroids, Mario Kart, and none of the Donkey Kong games qualify as fantastic console exclusives. Ruminate on this for a moment. The Wii had all of fourteen games with a meta rating of ninety or higher. While the 360 had fifty, and the PS3 had forty five. There just isn't any comparison. The Wii was just plain bereft of really good games.

It isn't my imagination. It is yours for actually thinking the platform had a lot of fantastic first party titles. Which it plainly did not. Which wasn't always the case with Nintendo platforms. On my N64 I could count on a great core game once every two to three months, and if Nintendo wasn't supplying the game then Rare was. Two games sometimes coming all of twelve months apart. Sticking with the Wii demanded some insane sacrifices on the part of gamers. Most couldn't live on the Wii alone, or were forced to relocate just to have enough games to satisfy their hobby. That is Nintendo for you. By any chance is any of this story at all sounding similiar to what is currently going on with the current console?
