I think Nintendo have just lost their spirit.
This is comming from a long time Nintendo Fan, i also want to add, i own all 3 "next-gen systems" so fanboyism or anything wont come into this.
I'll admit, there have been a few great Title's in the last few years from Ninty, but 90% is pure crap.
Okay, i enjoy my Wii, i enjoy playing games i want to play on it. Mainly Brawl (i'm in EU) and House of the Dead 2 and 3 (i just love them games) but thats it recently, and it annoys me, because they do have the calibre to make amazing 1st party games, also there have been amazing 3rd party games in the past.
But the problem is, Business. Lots and lots of Company's release crappy games on the Wii, simply because they will sell.
The market has been flooded by all this crap, and shifted the balance in a big bad way, Nintendo have become there own worst enemy.
Pretty much every Nintendo Fan (before the Wii.) will be on some level a core gamer, and we all know what Nintendo has done, and when the Fad (yes Reggie, i said it!) of the Wii dies down, and its only seen in a core's bedroom; althought it will be gathering dust, Nintendo will suddenly realised what they have done.
Nintendo will in the next 10 years will epically fail, when they realise, they've pissed off their Core audience for too long, and they moved nicely onto a system that caters to their needs and wants, And atm for me, its the PS3, although, there are still games i want to get, to play on the 360, and for the next year my list of "to-buy" games is about 20-25 for the ps3/360, about 10 for the PC, and 1 for the Wii, maybe 2 if Kid Icarus looks any good.
And i'm assuming most Core Gamers will feel the same about the Wii and Nintendo.
Sorry for the rant, just had something i wanted to say.
