You're right, Ryan. I want so, so badly, for the next Nintendo system to absolutely blow me away with innovation. However, that is also what I expected of the GameCube. Don't get me wrong, I love my Cube, but I'm saddened by the fact that when I look at my collection, many of my favorite games are simply sequels or remakes. SSB Melee, Resident Evil, SMS, Mario Party, Wind Waker, Soul Calibur II, F-Zero GX, MK: DD, MGS: TTS, Paper Mario.
I will agree with the sentiment that no great technological leaps were made, but I will say that Nintendo did have a few gems through its life. Pikmin, Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, and Animal Crossing to state a few examples.
Trust me, if Revolution itself only has sequels to these games, I'll be happy. A new Smash Bros is a personal dream of mine :D. I'll enjoy the sequels and remakes on Revolution as much as I enjoy them on GameCube, but I can still hope for that next big thing that will change gaming, it's just that I've been let down on that promise by Nintendo before, and I'm not entirely sure I won't be disappointed again.
