No I don't think you really have a point here. I thought Galaxy and Twilight Princess were mediocre, and never really spent much time with any of the ports. I have spent a lot of time with Mario Kart Wii, but thats because the game is so amazingly different from the DS version that your comparison is laughable at best. Wii Sports and Super Paper Mario are also great additions you seem to forget entirely. But you are entirely missing the point about the fresh experience. It is not about the games being entirely new so much as being entirely different from how you played them before. Notice how you love Metroid Prime 3 despite Metroid Prime being the better game, and on the GameCube.

I don't understand why people bash Nintendo for releasing the "same games they have been for past years". People actually be happy that the game series continue to have more and more episodes.

If anything, Nintendo should be bashed for not releasing Mario games frequently enough. It's just like James Bond, there must be a new Bond film at least once every 2 years! I was gutted when the 2 year rule was violated for Die Another Day (3 years) and Casino Royale (4 years!)

 There should be a James Bond movie every 10th year or so. (Better that way) and that goes for a lot of franchises.

I saw some lady at the store yesterday walk in with her son.

The clerk asked, "what do you want?"

She said, " I haven't played a videogame system since the Atari, and I want to get a new one, but I don't know which one to get."

The clerk then said, "You know any company names or what your friends may have?"

She said, "Maybe I'll get the Nintendo one."
Clerk says, "The Wii?"
She said,"Yea"

Guess what she bought...

A PS3

That is why the Wii is popular LOL

Mario Party says HI.

Another loss sale because the wii was out of stock?

I wonder how much worse the 360 and PS3 sales would be if people could just go with their first choice.

 I was kidding, she actually did buy a Wii.

This article is full of epic fail. I also don't like the Wii that much but I'm not going to write an article about it that's full of misinformation.

Glad to see this is sort of in jest. The Wii was not designed to compete head to head with Sonys or MS's product. It exists on its own with NO true competition, other than that Vtech thing. While Sony and MS battle over the considerably smaller Hardcore market, Nintendo is relaxing and raking it in. Sounds like the plan of a genius to me.

the mod edit it's wrongly placed :P
