@ grammar and readable English, it's like my man Stan Van Gundy says, "When is a playoff game not a must-win?" If you're trying to communicate with others the majority of the burden is on you to get the message across. Unfortunately, internet forums are filled with laziness with regards to healthy communication.

@topic, none of this is Nintendo's fault. Nintendo is leading by example and they are releasing graphically pleasing, core-targeted (along with casual-targeted), fun, high quality games. What else can they do but start buying/paying third parties to make games for the Wii.

If somebody can explain to me why it's Nintendo's fault, I'm willing to listen. But as of now people need to stop blaming Nintendo. They are doing they job and they are doing it with the same or better quality they always have. I'm referring specifically to the Wii, but at the same time Nintendo in general.

kingofwale this applies to you, why are you blaming Nintendo for what third parties do?

I don't blame Nintendo for it. What I'm trying to say is.. if you are whinning about the current situation, get PS360, because the situation is not going to change, it's been happening for YEARS on DS, and now it's on the Wii.

 

Having said that, I do think Nintendo has certain responsibility to protect their owner. Considering most of them are casual fans who don't use video game reviews to have an idea about the games they are about to buy. Nintendo had the kind of "seal of approval" in place before. By removing that, they are almost asking for crappy games to come on.


 I haven't found anyone that complains about the Nintendo DS library, it is stacked high with great games, as it should it has a 70mil install base.

The Nintendo Seal of Quality, was primarily a marketing gimmick, and in my memory given out mostly to 2nd parties and high profile third parties (Squaresoft). My argument for it's dissappearence is that it's not necessary at this point. I've heard that getting game published on the N64 and GameCube was restrictive. Nintendo is dealing with two high install base consoles at the moment. They have essentially opened the floodgates to developers to do what they please. This has some undesirable side effects such as a mountain of shovelware (like you said kingofwale they are essentially asking for crappy games). Though atop that mountain is a snowy peak of great games. As the mountain grows so does the peak. Like I posted previously, patience is necessary, but there will be no lack of great 3rd party games in years to come.
