Nintendo and its "I only buy Nintendo games" fans should be mighty proud right about now. Way to bring a system with so much potential crashing down in flames.


Nintendo fans used to buy a fairly wide variety of games, unfortunately that chunk of the Nintendo fanbase eroded in the GameCube days and went to Sony/MS and never came back. But things like Wave Race 64, 1080, Star Fox 64, Killer Instinct, Turok 1/2, GoldenEye, NBA Courtside, Star Wars, even South Park 64 would sell great on the N64. 

But that audience splintered away from Nintendo, now all Nintendo is left with are Mario/Mario Kart/Pokemon/Zelda fanatics that don't buy anything else but a few Nintendo franchises. 

Even Nintendo themselves have a lot of trouble selling things like Pikmin and Wonderful 101 and Xenoblade to this crowd ... they don't give a crap about anything unless Mario or Link or Pikachu are on the box. And even Zelda can sometimes be an iffy proposition. 


the sad part is those few of us who enjoy Nintendos innovations can't really enjoy them because majority of the crowd only buy mario. 

Hell the WIi and gamepad both had loads of potential however ne one really used them because why bother if your sales will be shit anyway. Ironically my favourite WIi games control wise were Godfather, RE4, RS2 and the earlier Tiger woods games with a few COD games and Metroid to kind of fill the gaps towards the end.  Everything else was meaningless waggle even from NIntendo.
