I love Nintendo in a way that other companies can't do. Their consoles are great and i have still a lot of games to play, so i won't give up with them although if they were not at E3 :)

I've given up on them, but they might be able to win me back.

i don't think Nintendo will anounce any new core games for Wii this year either, there are sooo many great core games coming, there's no need for Nintendo ones at this time

I don't base my love of a console on anything other than what appears on my tv. E3 and the like are interesting, but if Nintendo didn't announce a single game it wouldn't change my feelings for them.

As for are the speed they are releasing games, i have read (though never bothered to figure out for myself) that they have been releasing games much much faster this gen. If this is the case, perhaps the lull in the last year has been a combination of having almost all their teams simultaneously in the early phases of development (because they all recently released a game) and the few that aren't are holding back products till wii motion plus comes out.

Sounds like a bunch of guys broke up with their gf's in here. lol

For a poor E3 showing........no. If they start making games I don't enjoy, then I would "give up" on Nintendo.

Nintendo considers themselves to be the great inovators of the gaming industry (and I agree). They feel they absolutely must keep their secrecy because the novelty of their ideas is their greatest asset.

I get that their are a lot of people who have a real desire to hear about games far in advance. Me, I'd rather not. Maybe I've just been burned too many times, but its been a lot of years since I have cared at all about what companies have to say about a game that is a year or more away from release. With over a year to go till the release of a game virtually any feature they might announce publicly could yet be deemed unworkable or too costly. With over a year to go virtually any pics or movies that are shown of a game have to be suspect. Even the release date itself can't really be known more than a year out (unless we're talking about one of those companies that will release on the planned date, no matter how buggy it might be).

So if you can't really know what a game will be like, what it will look like, or when it will be out, then what exactly are you learning from hype far in advance? Nothing. But then you weren't meant to learn anything, you were meant to consume an advertisement that cost the company far less than traditional advertising channels.

I have a Wii and a DS. They make games I want I will buy them; if they don't I will not buy them. I'm thinking I am not alone using this logic.

What is the point of your thread? Why would anyone give up? This is stupid

to be honest i think that punchout and sin&punishment 2 show that they do 'care' about their core audience. the way spirit tracks was announced at GDC tells me that nintendo are thinking about the reaction of the core when they plan their conferences

No.
