Nintendo is failing me

I love Nintendo, love the Wii; however, after talking about it with Jehuty, nothing good is even remotely close to being released. Many of the Wii games are just gimmicks as of late. I love galaxy, brawl, Mario kart, twilight princess and metroid prime, but that's about a half empty Nintendo to me. I haven't read anything about some games I would like tos ee. Such as Starfox, Fzero, Fire Emblem, and Mario Tennis.

If anyone else can shed some hope that's cool; if you agree go on and post

P.S.
I know it's about the money, but your core is a source you need to keep.
 
I think there are one or two Fire Emblem games out for the Wii already and Mario Power Tennis for the Gamecube is being remade for the Wii as we speak. There's also Pikmin, which they are remaking for the Wii, too.
Not really new games but these two games are great! I haven't heard anything about an Fzero game but I think they are working on a Starfox game. I'm just not sure.

I totally agree. I feel like Nintendo has ditched the gamers that made it popular in favour of the "casual gamers" who fall for every gimmick they can pull out of their hat. I haven't bought a Wii game since Brawl. At least we can look forward to the new Wii Zelda title, but who knows when that will come around.

I forgot about Radiant Dawn.
As for Tennis and Pikmin, is it supposed to be a straight ports or new games? Because I can't see myself buying those games just to use the Wiimote if they aren't different from the originals. As for starfox ty for the heads up.


I also realized I'd love to see a new Jetforce Gemini and Pilot wings from the old 64

The Pikmin game will be a direct port. It'll be just the same with new controls. The new Mario game however will have additional unlockables as far as I know.

I would love to see a new Jetforce Gemini game too. Thing is, the franchise is owned by RARE and RARE is owned by Microsoft, so it won't show up on a Nintendo console. But if it came out for PC/X360....
 
Jet Force Gemini was left to die; I can't recall it being very popular back then (It was between a very small circle of friends at school, and we're the obligatory graduation class filled with 75% gamers.) and I doubt Microsoft/Rare has any real intention of bringing it back.

If it is coming back, it'd do better on the 360. They'd just gimmic-it-up on the Wii too much, something that has killed NEARLY EVERY GAME/FRANCHISE to be ported to the system. Play CoD3 if you don't know what that means.

Also; JohnT, hating on all forms of mainstream media since '65. Rough estimate.

I 2nd that.

I don't think the Wii will ever support the real retro gamer.

I've felt the same way here as of late... It's sad, but there really isn't anything we can do. In the meantime, I'll go build me the bestest sentry gun evah!

Consoles are a scam.

mmm k the N64 was so scamming?

Unless you meant that by the newer generations.
Consoles also make much better party tools than computer games.

As for Woodstock, you are unfortunately right. Nintendo is losing its losing its touch. Yes they've always been out to make money however, I feel they are just out for the quick buck. Back in the day they knew game quality.

Nintendo's next generation of console won't be successful imo. Casual gamers who got the Wii because of its playing mechanics won't be that interest in re buying a Wii with revamped graphics (my theory). If they go back to normal console, they have alienated most of their core by then.

But personally I like it when a company does something that, while it may not make a lot or any money, supports the consumer and does something for them for once... or am I wrong?

Even if a company supports a game after the release with free DLC it will get them money at some point. If you like a product and the support of company X you're probably going to tell your friends how awesome it is, aren't ya? And there's a big chance that you will buy their new game, too. Hell, maybe your friends will buy it. So in the end, companies do get money from free support. But nothing is as good as the love of fans, right? :)

So true.

The Wii sells. Alot. They still know what quality is, they just approach the market in a different way this time. I don't think it's their fault that many other gaming developers can't/won't make good games that use the wii controls. They rather make party games because Wii Sports sold very well. We could really need a new jump'n'run game that is decent/good. Just look how much fun Super Mario Galaxy is, I'm sure a classic Crash Bandicoot game would be fun.

We don't know what kind of console they are making. Yes they are probably going to stick with the casual market but that doesn't mean they are going to use motion control yet again. A Gamecube with revamped graphics for the next generation would do just fine.

I agree , Nintendo went for the non gamers. Which is quite a shame. There are only a few good games on the Wii.
 
Calle you put me in my place, thanks though. You are giving me hope.

I think i also realized that it is Nintendo's fault so much as me growing older and preferring more mature games.
 
I haven't paid much attention to Nintendo since they failed me last generation for the same reason the OP was talking about.

If it weren't for RE4 I would have thought that Nintendo & 3rd parties abandoned the Cube long before the Wii came out.
