GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

I'm serious. I don't like Nintendo (other than their Mario/Zelda/Metroid games...that's about it), simply because of the fact that they seem to be not caring too much about us hardcore gamers. I mean, look - most of the Wii and DS games (including their online shops) are full of stuff that either nobody has heard of or cares about, or they're marketed torwards younger kids. (Especially with the DS.)

Oh, and not to mention that they hardly do any system updates, and when they do, there's hardly any new features. And then there's the fact that they're not supporting VC as much as they used to, which is a feature I've enjoyed so much on the Wii Shop Channel, and a feature I wish could come to the DSi in the form of Game Boy games. How can we enjoy games from the past when the DSi doesn't have a GBA slot anymore? Not to mention there's a lot of GB games I didn't play since I never owned the original GB/GBP.

That reminds me - last night, I saw a kid who had a DSi, playing with the Camera. That made me think things like "Does he have the latest firmware?". I'm pretty sure that most old people or kids don't know what the hell a firmware update is, nor do they know how to apply them. Why would nintendo do something like this that its younger audience don't know how to do?

Have you seen E3 this year? They're releasing a new Zelda, 3 new Mario games, a new set of Pokemon games, Golden Sun, Zelda Spirit Tracks and so much more. Those will be out between this years end and next fall.

Yes, but things like that happen once every few years. I'm talking about Nintendo in general.

I see where you're coming from. Nintendo has been going a bit downhill with more than half of the DS games. Nintendo was much better back in the 90's and early 2000's. The only good things that are coming out soon from Nintendo are the new Zeldas, Metroids, and Marios. Those are the only three good Nintendo series they are still producing. And once those are out, it'll take another 3 or 4 years for Myamoto to create some good Zeldas and Marios.

yeah that's the main difference between nintendo and sony,microsoft because nintendo doesn't care about making their consoles better and only targets younger gamers not the more adept ones who have enjoyed their games for years

You can always switch to another console/handheld.

Already have. The only reason I ever play Wii/DS is if something good actually comes out for those platforms (like Tales of Symphonia, or Mario/Zelda/Metroid). Also, I've noticed that Nintendo hasn't really made much use of that Wii Zapper (or whatever comes with Link's Crossbow Training).

Man, I miss the "old" Nintendo...
