Anyone who thinks that Nintendo is releasing good titles for the holidays is stupid. Im sick to death of these kiddie titles being rehashed. Animal Crossing is a flat out joke. Smash Bros was a disappointment due to its broken online modes.
Nintendo may be moving systems, but in the long run if we dont get some major 3rd party support, Ill be buying a 360 for Fallout 3 and Fable 2.

“Reggie needs to take a long look in the mirror before making comments like that. You sir, are releasing Animal Crossing and Wii Music for the holidays. Enough said.”

This is a fallacy. Nintendo has released a shitload of games that are high-quality, and high-selling. Third parties have been screwing around doing mostly nothing. Quit being willfully myopic and stupid.

“And while I agree with Reggie, I’d say the same thing to Nintendo right now. After mega-hyping and releasing Wii Music, Nintendo doens’t have much room to talk about at the moment.”

Wrong. No matter what your feelings of the game are, Wii Music was a full-assed effort by their top people. And it certainly is not the ONLY game they’ve made on the Wii. It certainly took more to make that than The Price is Right or Dead Rising: Port Nobody Wants.

The reason we keep having this discussion is becuase the Wii isn’t going anywhere but UP. And if third parties continue to shit on it, they will find a Giganntic, savvy, market-leading fanbase who only trusts Nintendo because they are the only ones who make the best games constantly and do not throw large labels on them.

IT’s happened before. Ask the DS.

Haven’t we had this conversation? Like a year ago? Seems time keeps going yet we keep getting back to the same spot and having the same discussion. I’m to the point where I expect nothing from 3rd parties because they constantly deliver nothing.

And while I agree with Reggie, I’d say the same thing to Nintendo right now. After mega-hyping and releasing Wii Music, Nintendo doens’t have much room to talk about at the moment.

Hmmmm. EA and Ubisoft not in top 5? Probably close.

@Brian Sadly, you are probably right about 3rd party response. Or they will just give us more of the same, Imagine ****, Kids Backyard ***, Carnival ****, and maybe through in some more crappy music game full of **** while they are it.

I know full well there are good 3rd party games coming, but it’s the minority, that’s for sure.

Just wait for all the stupid third party studio responses to this on blogs in the coming days. We will see things like “Well if it had been HD we could make a good game on it.” “If it wasn’t for children we could make a good game on it.”

You know it’s going to happen.
