Quote:Nobody buys Nintendo products for the third party games as it is (just look at sales figures), which is why they seriously need to increase their in-house efforts.
How much further can they go? The Gamecube is a little over a year old, and we have a a new Mario game, a new Metroid game, and (soon) a new Zelda game. Add to that the other original first and second party games of last year and this year and you have Nintendo's strongest lineup ever for such a short time period.
