The past two years I haven't liked Nintendo

[A Black Falcon]

I started playing TP again in late 2008 (starting from where I had abandoned it in early 2007, at the second dungeon), got to Ganon by May '09, and moved it way up my list of favorite Gamecube games. I definitely like it better than Wind Waker now -- WW does have the better story, and I still really dislike a lot of aspects of the plot and characters in TP, while WW has a better story (not ideal or something, but better than TPs for sure). However, gameplay-wise TP is outstanding and blows away WW, and Zelda games are mostly about the gameplay.

So yeah, the #1 reason I want a Wii is to have it for when Zelda comes out. Honestly, if a real Zelda game had come out sooner, I'd probably have gotten one then... that's the game I really want, along with Fire Emblem... but Zelda is what makes me really want to own it.

I agree, of course, that the Wii's almost total lack of third party support despite its winning marketshare is very disappointing. This is not really Nintendo's developers' fault -- they are still making a good number of fantastic first-party games -- but third parties just aren't very interested in supporting the technologically weaker system, and Nintendo isn't willing to pay them all off for support, obviously. It has been sad to watch third party support if anything go backwards from where it was on the Gamecube, quality-wise... and bizarre, with how successful the Wii is. You'd think that with so many of the first party titles placing so high in console all-time sales charts some third parties would want to really try to get into that market too, but I guess they prefer losing money on expensive HD games that will never make back their investment... their choice, really. :)

I mean, looking at what has been released there are things I'm interested in -- A Boy And His Blob, Gradius Resurrection, Castlevania Resurrection, Excite Truck, ExciteBots, Battalion Wars 2, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii, Blast Works: Build & Destroy, Castle Shikigami III, Ultimate Shooting Collection, Sin & Punishment (VC), Speed Racer, Nitrobike, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Excitebike World Rally, Arthur Mclean's Speed Zone, Klonoa, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Zack & Wiki, maybe Dewy's Adventure, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, etc... it's not like there's nothing there I want.

Other than that, the DS is of course this generation's real winning console, not the Wii... DS Japanese third-party support blows away that on any of the three "main" consoles. I know I haven't bought as many DS games as I should, but still, I have bought some and that is very much true.
