Same reason most eople are -- because Mario, Mario Kart, DKC, Star Fox, Zelda, F-Zero, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Punch-Out! Advance Wars, WaveRace, are some of my favorite game franchises period. Y'know like the actual games that built Nintendo's business for over 20+ years. Those ones.
Wii Sports or Wii Fit don't even register in my top 30 favorite Nintendo games, and I'd say that's probably true for a lot of actual Nintendo fans.
I don't give two craps if the Wii would have sold 300 million units, it was a short term bubble that was bound to burst built largely on the backs of an audience that doesn't actually appreciate real games and all it did was encourage most developers to flood the system with bottom-of-the-barrel party/dance/fitness game crap.
I'll take one Resident Evil 4 or even Turok: Dinosaur Hunter over a bazillion Just Dance or Zumba Fitness Party or whatever.

But if you are still a fan of those games, then the Wii couldn't have been as bad as you describe it all the time.
|
I'm not saying it was bad, I just didn't see any tangiable benefit to us loyal Nintendo fans with the Wii.
Instead of getting a new Star Fox, Wave Race, F-Zero, etc. those franchises were put on ice and we were given Wii Music/Party/etc.

Gamecube didnt get Kirby, Donkey Kong or Punch-Out but Wii did, that kinda cancels out ur Star Fox, Wave Race, F-Zero argument.
|
The Wii also had an extra year of life cycle over the GameCube. It should have more games overall.
|
Those games didnt come out in Wii final year so thats kinda irrelevent
|
If you axe 2011 from the Wii as its final year to make it equivalent to the GameCube, then you can cut games like Skyward Sword and Kirby's Return to Dreamland from the Wii list.
In any case, I don't care that the casuals have abandoned Nintendo. I don't want them back to be honest. The sooner Nintendo really accepts that this casual audience has screwed them over, the better for actual Nintendo fans IMO, because it will mean that Nintendo will have to undertake new initiatives to make the best of what they have now and try to grow that as best as possible.
The reliance on evergreen selling casual blockbusters and the spillover effect of that into the 2D Mario/Mario Kart franchises IMO has made Nintendo a bit lazy. They figured they could cruise through both the Wii U and 3DS launch periods without putting forth the usual effort they do in launching hardware and have been bit in the rear end hard.

Lets axe Twilight Princess from Gamecube then. The point is u said casual titles stopped core titles from coming but thats false since we got those 3 titles I listed along with Sin & Punishment in the west for the first time and even though Rainfall games were late, at least we got them.
This is like ur 50th time ranting about u not caring if casuals leave, we get it, u dont need to repeat urself that many times.
