The past two years I haven't liked Nintendo

[Great Rumbler]

Also I know you and I don't care about them, but are you really not counting things like Wii Fit, etc? Multi-million-selling games that are helping them in one of their key goals with the Wii, succeeding with people who have not previously played games much?

Oh yes, they've certainly succeeded at that. At the expense of driving me away. So, no, I don't care much if they're achieving their long term goals because achieving those long term goals certainly isn't doing me any favors.

I understand the sentiment, but you just go too far. There are three huge games coming from Nintendo in just the next few months, and don't know anything yet about the second half of the year, but they'll have more then... this should be one of the Wii's best years, first party wise. Also, looking at that list of mine there, each year's list is longer than the one before its is. That's kind of a good sign I think, total-games wise at least.

Yes, they're three huge games, but those three huge games don't make up for the two years. If in the second half they drop three more huge games, hey, I'll turn down my tune a bit and give them some props.
