In the world of Nintendo...
Just checking to see how many people still actually read this forum...
By the way, doesn't it feel a little boring in the world of Nintendo so far?
I mean, sure we will be getting some pretty crazy awesome rpg's in 2010.
Tales, which looks amazing, and two other less-interesting turn-based
Japanese rpg's, Monado: The Beginning of the World, and Arc Rise
Fantasia.
We got a great shooter coming our way (or already out, don't know)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex. But I probably won't bet getting that
one until I find out there are no hackers.
Don't know when the next Zelda's coming out either. I'd get New Super
Mario Bros. Wii but my bro won't want to play that. I don't know, it just
feels really... lonely and desolate when I play a Nintendo game now. Like
if they're not really... putting their heart and soul into it, ya know? Tell me
you guys, is it just me or do you all feel that not just Nintendo games but
ALL console games are losing their charm?

KyuubiNaruto4 Don't forget No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle January 27, 2010. HELL YEAH!!!!!Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles comes out this November Sin and Punishment: Successor to the Sky Q1 2010 Silent Hill: Shattered Memories December 8, 2009 Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers December 26, 2009 Epic Mickey 2010 The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks December 7, 2009 Metroid The Other M 2010
Okay, people, you aren't getting my point. Yeah, those look like some pretty
good games but I'm saying that I just don't feel the same way when I
play them because just something... something that they are doing that
isn't right.

Many of the games that are released on the Wii I feel are losing quality. I try to be fair with many Wii games, but many are just too underbaked for my tastes and many Nintendo fans are failing to see this. Nintendo is giving us lower quality games. I'm not just talking about casual games, but also the hardcore games as well. It's about the lack of effort being put into both categories. Casual games are usually the minigames and waggle-fests that try to make the Wii live up to it's potential, but come up short due to underdevelopment. The hardcore games are somewhat repetitive, either in plot or gameplay, and overly-hyped (like Brawl) and I end up getting bored with them before I even finish them or after I beat them for two times. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption I haven't even beaten yet and I've had it for about two years. Zelda: Twilight Princess I've only played through to the end two times. Super Smash Bros. Brawl felt too unbalanced to me and it's the worst Smash Bros. in my opinion. They're fun at first, but to me they lack the replay value and outstanding quality needed to make them timeless classics. The reason they get high reviews and praises is because they have the benefit of being part of a long-time popular franchise. A platforming game these days with Mario slapped on it's title is going to get an instant 10/10, while an equally good platformer that's not part of a popular franchise will more than likely get an 8/10 at the most.
Nintendo is, unfortunately, sacrificing quality in an effort to make more money, because they almost got killed financially the last two generations, as well the fact that they are being hit with the ******** recession. I can understand that, but you shouldn't seriously downgrade the quality of your work so you can make a better profit. It's the same issue people have with bands like Metallica or with the mainstream music industry. They're giving out the Golden Seal too freely. During the last two generations, sure they lacked strong third party support, but they in turn gave us outstanding games from second and first party developers, games I am still playing to this day.
Third-party developers aren't giving the Wii the chance it deserves, yes. But it's also Nintendo's fault for not recognizing quality like they did in previous generations. It's also the reviewers faults for reviewing the occasional good casual games in a negative way. And finally, consumers need to be able to recognize quality when they see it. Renting games would be a good start.

Well said. I couldn't find the right words to say and that pretty much sums
it up. Yet again, think about it. When we were small children we thought
everything was cool and when we moved into the 3d era, GAMING
EXPLODED and it opened up so many new possibilities and developers
had such fresh ideas in mind! Now, we of the N64 and NES era are
starving for that tingly feeling we got when we played those games of old
(or is it just me?). I think the memories we have of when we
played those games and the experiences we got from playing those
games is what we are looking to revive and that's why we (again, maybe
just I) are so dissapointed with today's games. Maybe Nintendo has not
lost its witty charm. All I can do now is have faith in the games to come.

L a s t B a s t a r d Allegro Somebody should let out Sarin Gas inside this topic. Well dude. I guess you just don't know what we're talking about then. If you are satisfied with today's games, then that's cool. Thanks for the elitism, you stupid a*****e. I'm glad you're keeping it in the spirit of the theme of this topic: "I know what exactly is going on in a giant industry and here's why it SUCKS."
Tell me, are YOU the boss of a developer or publisher in the middle of a damn recession in an industry that specializes in a non-vital service? Do you think it's worth putting out new, innovative titles when people like you only mention TWO original titles (and call them less interesting too), rather spending your time talking about SEQUELS.
THIS is why the industry is stagnating: because you're LETTING it.
If you opened your mind you'd find PLENTY of charming games out there, but since you're only focused on titles that rehash the same thing over and over, no ******** s**t you're gonna be disappointed.

Xilo The Odd Destheren Isn't red Steel 2 coming out in December? And remember that a lot of work has been put into casual games, like Wii Fit and Wii sports Resort etc. (yuck) What really saddens me is that I go to wal mart or something and browse the Wii games section and all I see is third party casual crap and the occasional half decent game. yeah the whole seeing third party only is because WAL MART AIN'T GOT GAMES LIKE DAT PS TRIPLE. you go shopping for wii games you go to a game specialty store or online. Here's the thing. Game stores are worse. The crap Wii games there are simply overwhelming. ******** MARCH OF THE PENGUINS. THE VIDEO GAME OF MARCH OF THE ******** PENGUINS. WHAT THE ********.
