IMO Nintendo just lost all the remaining admiration I had for them. They didn't announce any core Nintendo titles. For some odd reason I thought Nintendo was going to announce games that would please their core base (perhaps because Reggie said so?). I didn't get any of the key Nintendo franchises such as Kid Icarus, Zelda, Pikmin 3, Earthbound, Golden Sun, Pilotwings, F-Zero, Metroid, Star Fox, Donkey Kong or Punch-out. Neither did I get any new IPs for core gamers. I am highly disapointed. Okay, to be fair I'm sure the Zelda and Mario teams and Retro Studios are working on something right now but you think that it would still be enough to feed their core base? Still it's not like Nintendo needs gamers like myself anymore as they got the masses of casuals feeding them money.
As soon as PS3 dips below the $300 price point, I think I am going to purchase one. No longer would have to wait every 4 months for a good core game.
Goodbye Mario, Hello Kratos.
