Forums - Nintendo - The Quality of Nintendo's Games is Decreasing

Ari_Gold said:
i agree with the op, but remember that nintendo is making more money right now, why would they care to make more games?

This.

Why make great new games when you can make games as Wii Fit 2 and probably make more profit....Business wise it would be stupid to make new zelda/mario.

I give you credit for approaching this situation as you did, but I feel compelled to point out a few errors you made. First, you're using Metacritic. I understand why: it's convenient, and easy to use to judge the quality of most games. But it doesn't work for Nintendo games at all.

Look at it this way: Wii Sports, the most influential game and biggest system-seller since Super Mario Bros., got a 76. Games approaching 20 million+ in sales, like Brain Age and Nintendogs, scored even lower. Wii Fit, which got more love and sales than GTA IV from the masses (and is still selling like hotcakes) is somewhere in the 80's.

Long story short, you're applying a model that doesn't fit Wii games. And I take issue with your overall thesis as well. Since 2004, Nintendo's been giving us some damned awesome games, surpassing even much of what they did on the N64.
I don't care to get into a list war, but suffice it to say that I (and many, many others) have been quite happy with their performance in the past four years. You may not be, and that's sad, but please recognize that your opinion is not shared by many, many of us.

 Yeah, same goes to the Wii, Zelda twilight Princess and SMG WAS SURE a shovelware ): tsk, tsk, tsk...

OK this is getting nowhere! Why even make a thread about this? This thread IS PURE FAIL and only make trolls post on this thread. I can even post some games that are million seller that are shovelware on the PS2 but of course loyal SONY fans dont want to see that right? I mean JEEZ I knew this thread will not end well it just gives me a headache.

Game journalist/Reviewers etc didn't complained about PS2 and his games as Eye Toy, Buzz cauze Sony studious was still releasing great quality games everyear. For every casual game released Sony also had an game or two that made the hardcore gamers happy. The fact hat you have to name two Wii games from 2007 to make a point is in line with what this thread is saying.

Anyway if you are mad about the fact that so many PS fanboys are now using metacric numbers then you better be mad at all those Wii owners who post threads in 2007 as 'The PS3 only has 2 +90 games, The Wii 5'!  Of course users as DMJ, LEo-J, Crazzyman love to point out now that PS3 has more +90 games on metacritic now.

The hate against the Wii will be less in 09 thx to games as Madworld but the hate against Nintendo will not stop until they announce a new game as Zelda.

After what I've experienced right now, I dont think I dont believe that theres  a definitive console right now. Or better yet, a console that caters to hardcore or casual gamers alike and certainly the HD consoles satisfy the hardcore gamer. BTW all loyal 360 fans out there, enjoying a source like engine graphics of Fallout 3 with 2001 lips animation and simple graphics of Lego Indiana Jones thats been bundled in every 360? What about a singleplayer Burnout paradise without multiplayer splitscreen? I could take a splitscreen racing action if not the game leads you to career mode right away and the menus arent simple unlike Burnout 3 and revenge...  

For you HD console fanboys out there, just cut the crap. You're not funny and you dont know you're talking about! What you all say about good things about HD consoles and negative about the Wii are just BS! Theyre consoles there purpose are just the same to play games if you dont like the console then dont bother the ones that enjoying it. Anyway, i dont want to partake in this debate thread discussion here anymore because of the BS. Im only posting in news threads from now on. This is the last time Im posting in this these kind of  threads. BYE!

you know its a shame you guys do have to resort to fanboyish comments. I 100% agree with yushire. I myself sometimes say fanboyish things, but never once have i looked for an oppurtunity to bash a console, i usually end up bashing through the defense of another.

So i can't say i blame yushire.



 Twilightman on Gametrailers

Im really disappointed on my brother's purchase of 360 though, its so BAD he ended up playing geometry wars and sleep afterwards. He cant take it back since its not broken but definitely we will bring back the games we are disappointed with. This time we will choose what games we have to buy.
