Nintendo are doing the same thing they've always done: making accessible games that anyone can enjoy.

 

That's all you gotta say.  Nintendo has always targetted the 'everybody' market.  From making games like Mario to Metroid and Sports games to Puzzles, they have always deversified their market, but never excluded.  The other two consoles, justified or not, have spent this generation focusing more on the 'mature' or teenager and up market.  From their image and  advertising to the majority of their games.  Only to have taken an about face in 2008.

i moved on al ong time ago, but i still bought a wii to play the old core nintendo franchises, and though my wii has been getting dust the last 8 months i really don't mind since i have my 360 and my DS for my gaming needs.

You are 20 years old and male, poster child for the "hardcore" demographic that the PS360 is most aimed at. Research however indicates that males 40+ actually prefer Nintendo so perhaps you are not so much moving on as passing through. Demographically speaking, "hardcore" could be considered just a phase.

 

Actually i'm 23, and i dont appreciate stalkers, and namecalling. Should i take your comments seriously? you appear to be a 63 year old male, and a nintendo fanboy with no reasoning.

Looking at your profile is hardly stalking, not my fault it was wrong. And I'm sorry if calling you hardcore was insulting. You guys usually wave the term in our face like it was the Medal of Honor.

Nothing I said was in any way insulting but I apologize if you found anything offensive. So lighten up, that was hardly a personal attack. If you think it was, try taking yourself a little less seriously, you'll live longer and enjoy life more..

Nintendo hasn't sold out. There games have always based around casual games. I think its the people that have changed without a doubt. Notice how most of the people that have said Nintendo "sold out" are the hardcore gamers. So I think we shouldn't take this topic very seriously.

But does that make it true? No.

That's not the problem though.. it's the games. they only keep making installments in games they made 20 years ago.
...It doesn't take a genius, look at their current library.

Erm....uh...um...

Have you tried looking at their current library, or is this one of those "let's set up a strawman to explain why I feel like I do" things? I'm not saying you have to like Nintendo or anything, but your post is just making stuff up.

No, i'm not making anything up. I was a strong supporter of the wii when it launched.

 

Yes, their library sucks. I said it, and I have looked.

I'm not saying you have to like their current library mate, but the reason you gave ("they only keep making installments in games they made 20 years ago") is, in fact, a load of hogwash.

nah, I would say about 40% hogwash. Like a bundle of hogwash, not a load.

fine, name 10 good nintendo published wii games that aren't follow-ups to old series.
