I wonder if nintendo will release an add-on(or peripherial) where you could erase all your gaming skills and preferences so we can enjoy "games for broader audience".

No need for a peripheral; just toggle auto-aim on, start salivating over the next matoor shooter, and voila!*

 

*broader being limited primarily to the sixteen and under male crowd.

Zelda and Mario teams may be hard at work ,but from what that has meant in the past we may be 3-4 years away from anything.Remember Zelda Twilight Princess?It was delayed and delayed until it was used as a Wii launch title.

And these arent HD games.THe day Nintendo finally enters the HD content era we will see development processess of 7 years for each Mario or Zelda game.

Oh gosh this is sad, you guys that are complaining don't want video games, you feel some type of sick recognition for having your console "do the best" this is just amazing - your emotions are in the wrong places, I can understand getting mad at spending 50 dollars on a game that sucked like in 2007 shovel ware feet.. (I'm still sore from Alien Syndrome) But come on!

You guys don't care about games! You guys just wanted to feel that "Nintendo won E3", The Sony fan guys do the same stuff too with their yammering about FFXIII, they acted like the game isn't coming out on the PS3 still, then they would always respond "but still." But still what, Square wants to be around to make FFXIV, I can't blame em.

Microsoft Steals Home, and Miis just like everyone knew they would and the Xbox guys all go wow it's cool buuuut...

Like that's not good enough.

Whatever, Wii fans should be happy they got 1:1 and voice chat, the PS3 Guys should be super happy about still have MGSIV and GTAIV and FFXIII and Killzone2 and Resistance 2 and MAG.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

Yes after giving us 1:1 motion control they are obviously turning their backs on us. Obviously. And they gave us voice chat. Oh I mean seriously they dont' care about our needs. Hell in a recent interview Miyamoto said they are trying to fix the storage space issue. And confirmed Zelda Wii and Mario team hard at work. Not to mention Kid Icarus. It is so obviously they don't care about the core gamer that they just want us to go buy a 360 and PS3.

i kinda agree with you zucas but its neither mario or zelda that i was loking for. i knew that those games werent even close to being finished we just had TP and galaxy. but where are the other core games DDoC, Fatal Frame (US), kid icarus, just to name a few. and "working" on a stoage solution just dosen't cut it for me, that should have been addressed a long time ago.

Yes lack of DDoC and Fatal Frame are disappointing.  Mainly Fatal Frame IV to me. 

 

And hey working on it is better than not even doing anything about it.

Simple strategy:

Nintendo making more casual stuff = More Wii sales.
More Wii sales = developers began to Think, that hardcore games will sell better.

This worked with DS, but with Wii.. who knows(looking to Tales of Symphonia sales).
But overall, Nintendo is there where is MONEY, and money is more in casual userbase. =)



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
