Well Nintendo's done it.

They pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. Suckered them all into investing in the Wii this generation and then pulled the rug out from under everyone who they fooled.

We shoudnt be angry, it's just how their "kind" operates.
You know their "kind" don't you?

A developer who knows that they can fool people into buying whatever they throw out just because of a name on the box.

Usually this is reserved for companies like Capcom, now it's Nintendo.

In the past Nintendo has been respected. As being one of the best developers and publishers with so many franchises followed by millions, they COULD have released anything but they chose not to. Their games all had a level of care and polish not seen from anyone else in the industry.

Their new games might take a while but you always looked forward to their new titles because they were going to fantastic.

Nintendo has decided that users don't want games in 2008 and 2009, instead they want to play all the Gamecube games again. They want it's users to go back to 2001.

Oh and they don't want to just PORT the games over. No, that would be silly. They want to tack on new control schemes! If it's one thing the Wii desperately needs it's MORE last gen games with tacked on controls. Shoddy looking games with controls never intended for the game? Where do I sign up???

Now I know some of you are having a hard time understanding that Nintendo pulled the wool over your eyes and you're going to try to make yourself feel better with the next sentence...

"Nintendo has rereleased games before, lots of times"

Here's where I crush your last shred of hope.....

Games like "Link to the Past" HAVE been rereleased but there's one major difference.

The game was always rereleased on a platform that could not play the other version. That means if you bought the SNES version and you want it for the GameBoy Advance you can't stick the NES cart in your handheld. If you have a Wii that's not going to take that SNES cart either.

Nintendo is rereleasing Gamecube games.
Just to point this out, the Wii plays every single Gamecube game ever made. The insides of the Wii hide a Gamecube. There's no software emulation, no code to be written, nothing, nada, zilch. The hardware is Gamcube hardware. Put in a Gamecube game and you have Gamecube hardware playing that game.

Nintendo knows it can make money though. Never mind the fact that they make profit on the Wii and the DS. Never mind the fact that their first party games are already huge sellers.

Nintendo knows it can fool it's base into getting old games just because it has the name Nintendo slapped on the front of the case.

Nintendo is also doing this with the Gamecube. The worst modern day console and one of the worst consoles of all time. A console with such a sucktacular library and hardware that it forced Nintendo to change everything and make the Wii.

The Gamecube was such a huge failure that Nintendo had to change it's strategy or stop making games. So of course what all gamers want to do is revisit this generation of fail.

Maybe this is Nintendo trying to make up the money it lost last gen with it's awful hardware and game support. Maybe they think they can sucker enough people to finally make the money they thought they'd make last gen.

Another thing people are going to say is this.....

"You don't have to buy the remakes"

Oh, did a little glimmer of hope pop up that I didn't crush earlier? Let me get that.....

Nintendo is using time and money making these games. They're using time and money that could be going for new games and putting them towards old games. Nintendo doesn't use it's low level guys for anything, heck Nintendo doesn't even HAVE low level guys. If you look at the history of Nintendo rereleasing games on different platforms they are all polished and have problems fixed. Once again I'll bring up "Link to the Past", the rerelease on the GBA was more polished and fixed flaws that were in the SNES version.

So yeah, the guys who SHOULD be making new games? They'll be busy making the old ones.

Nintendo already has your money since you bought a Wii so you helped their market share. They fooled you into thinking that they were going to support you and they failed you. Not only did they fail you but now they're insulting you as well by trying to show off the fact that you can do everything you did last gen all over again. The Wii isn't a whole new way to play games, it's a whole new way to sucker people.

I wish I could tell all of you I told you so but the sad fact is they suckered me too.
