Ha, fail...
In all seriousness, I was also planning a similar joke, albeit more urine-orientated...

It's mostly about the 3DS right now. Believe it or not, that is the competition PS360 has from Nintendo. They'll keep selling the Wii and releasing software for it, but 3DS is gonna be a huge focus. It's almost the Wii's actual successor.

I was really hopeful for both titles until I actually played them.
GoldenEye was fairly decent however the maps availible at E3 were not classics. I asked the developer why in a remake we weren't playing classic levels. He told me that GoldenEye is actually not a remake rather a re-invisioning. He said their would be a large amount of new content and changes to old content. My heart dropped as I know we all wanted a remake not a re-invisioning. So I'm not sure the game will sell once people find out its not a direct remake. Though I've gotta say it was still pretty fun.
Conduit 2, The demo I played was glitchy as heck so bad that I don't think I could go 20-seconds without another glitch. That being said the developer told me that all the bugs had been worked out and I was playing the E3 demo. Even though he re-assured me the glitches have been fixed it still didn't appear to offer anything unique. It looked better visually then the origional Conduit but I will probubly pass this one and most likely many others will too.
I think developers have doomed the Wii for the FPS genre, by not offering consumers any quality products the FPS user base has all but abandoned the Wii.

Lol this. It's not like Move or Kinect is going to push their consoles to first place.

There's really not a whole lot left to keep the Wii fresh in minds of many. At this point (four years in) the primary reason to buy a Wii this late is for the current catalog of titles, particularly most titles published by Nintendo.
I really don't see the third party support situation changing in any significant way.
So while there are plenty of reasons to maintain interest in the platform in the back catalog, in addition to upcoming titles from Nintendo like Skyward Sword, existing catalogs generally don't take center stage.
I know, someone will probably chime in about Wii Relax (was this title even announced?!) and the Vitality Sensor, but I can say with a pretty fair amount of confidence that if and when it's finally released, it will not be another Wii Fit/Balance Board.
I agree with the notion that the real future of Nintendo lies with the 3DS. That's where the 3rd party developer support seems to be at along with a lot of enthusiasm from those currently working on titles for the platform.

There were legal reasons they couldn't use the old maps from Goldeneye. Yes, that is diappointing, but it also means this game will stand up on its own, not rely on nostalgia.
Conduit 2 doesn't have to be unique, just good. It's not as though FPS is a genre known for innovation. The last big one was Modern Warfare... and even that wasn't the first series to make the leap out of WWII, just the first to get attention for it. Oh, and Conduit 2 doesn't have to sell to Conduit 1 players, just the greater amount who didn't buy it.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
