I know I sound like a desperate little !@#$%, but I think the following.
Right now Nintendo is in a longer-lasting era of crap. Let's face it, nothing good is coming from them anymore. Right now they have a mediocre console that's family-friendly (which is !@#$%, your family is either too stupid to figure it out, too lazy to use it or too discouraged by the fact it's a video-game) and has a control that's just like "real life".
POINT THAT WIIMOTE AT YOUR ENEMY AND IT FEELS LIKE A REAL GUN.
Because obviously every game has ever held a gun and knows the feeling. Besides, it can feel as real as they want it to, it's still just a game. Many games and their plots are supposed to give you the feeling you are part of the game, but what the controls of the Wii does is just a bit too delusional.
That said, I don't find the controlling devices bad. It's still fun to play.
Anyway, back to what I was planning to say. While Nintendo is in deep poop right now and they abandoned the fanbase, which is the major target-group they should be concentrating on, I think it all will work again soon. Don't ask me how, it's just what I feel.
Remember that recent era when there were like, four or five Zelda-games on different consoles released? So what have you heard about a new game since TP has been released? Nothing. Oh, sorry, yeah. "GUYS WE ARE WORKING ON A ZELDA FOR THE WII SRSLY". That's about it though.
Sounds like a bad thing? It really isn't. If they take their time for a game, it means that for a change they might actually get back to making something that's actually decent and not rushed by a bunch of tards who heard about the series for some time now and are REAL FANS WHO DESERVE IT LOLOL.
A.K.A. non-gamers. Guys who just buy a console to be different from their communities.
So I haven't really given up on Nintendo, I just think they're !@#$% right now.
AND THAT COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO THEM AND CONSIDERS THEM AS MUCH AS A PART OF HIS LIFE AS HIS OWN FAMILY.
I could deal with it being called the wii though. What actually made me give up on nintendo was Twilight Princess, that was so disappointing I basically lost all faith in their games from then on.
Taking a bit too far. I think you're biased by two things.
a.) Everyone says Twilight Princess is !@#$%.
b.) Ever since you played the better (best) Zelda-games, you have a standard. From that point on, every Zelda-game that is only slightly worse is instantly bad.
Don't worry, I was the same.
