amen , take note nintendo

I agree. Mario Part 8 got old quick just like many other Wii games.
I've been saying what Kaz said for a while, I seriously doubt I'd buy a Nintendo console again.
Do NOT sell out your fans -- it will backfire on you in the long run, regardless of how much money you earn up front.
