The highlights for me were:

Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Bioshock, Bioshock Infinite, Metroid Prime 3, Zelda Twilight Princess, Zelda Skyward Sword, Xenoblade Chronicles, Dead Space, Gears of War 1/2/3, Halo Reach, Halo 4, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Mass Effect 1/2/3, Monster Hunter Tri, Wii Sports Resort.

Skyward Sword was the shit man. And so many games to play last gen was insane.

Reason I liked Borderlands is because it was a new concept. RPG+FPS, and plus the cyberpunk culture it was so cool.

And honestly I don't really buy consoles from other companies but last gen honestly with Xbox live arcade and all the great games that were coming out it was hard to resist.

Metroid Prime 3 was beautiful too.

Do you think this kind of excitement is going to happen this gen, but just later?

I think NX is going to kick things up a notch, what do you think?

Yeah, Prime 3 showed that even with its underpowered hardware, the Wii could still produce great looking games. I miss the days when Retro pushed Nintendo hardware to the limit.

And it's certainly possible that this gen pick up, but honestly I don't expect it to; big publishers just seem too risk averse these days.

As for NX, its too early to say, as we still don't even know for sure what it will be. It all depends on whether Nintendo are willing to learn from their mistakes.
