Let me just reitterate, Disolitude, when you say that Nintendo first party games are lacking in diversity?

 

Nintendo first party genres this gen so far:

Zelda: Action/Adventure

Mario: Platforming

Mario Kart: Racing - platformer

Super Paper Mario: JRPG/ARPG

Fire Emblem: SRPG

Metroid Prime 3: FPS/FPA - adventure shooter

Wii Sports: Casual/Sim

Wii Fit: Sim

Smash Brothers Brawl: Fighting

Warioware: Minigame 

Soon to come 

Disaster: Day of Crysis: Survival Horror

Icarus: Flight/Shooter?

Pikmin: RTS

 

Name another developer with as diverse a library of titles in a 2 year timeframe as these. There isn't one. I mean, it's just amazing how diverse their library is, I can't believe you said their first party lineup isn't diverse, lol. What the hell man?

 


 

One can argue that Mario Kart is not racing but a platformer...and metroid is not a FPS but an adventure game but I don not want to start that fight. Howmany franchises is that...Mario, Zelda, Metroid...Fire emblem and, Wiisports/fit.

Microsoft published games I can think off...all different franchises and different titles.

Racing - Forza, PGR4

FPS - Halo, Perfect Dark

Platformer - Kameo

Action - Gears of War, Crackdown

Sim - Viva Pinata

JRPG - Lost Oddisey, Blu Dragon

ARPG - Mass Effect

Adventure - Kingdom under Fire

Party game/casual - Scene it

Soon to come -

RTS - Halo Wars

 

Sony has just as much coming out...Not saying one is better than the other as that is to a gamer's taste...but on a technical aspect, Forza 2 vs mario Kart...hmmm?

Worst of all if we look back at some of those titles, they are a carbon copy of last gen games (metroid, zelda, smash brawl, mario Kart) with wii mote technology applied. What do nintendo employees do all day?
