Miyamoto assures the core Nintendo is working on games for them

I always find it funny that people say their console is "covered in dust" as a way of stating that they don't play it.

My console is also covered in dust, but I play it all the time...I just don't dust it.

Haha, well said :)

I really don't play my Wii at all. I'm a big Nintendo fan, and have been since I was born, so I'll keep my hopes up for the future of the console. Which is why a person that says that plays their Wii slim to none of the times that they play a game goes to Wii and DS fanboy regularly.

Yeah, this is starting to sounds like "We know the WMD's are there, we just need to find them".... Give me a vid of pikmin 3 already!!!!!

Yeah, NOA freakin' sucks massive, pulsating balls these days. I don't know when it happened. No Captain Rainbow, no Disaster, no Fatal Frame...Hell, they've even translated some games and STILL never released them!
They aren't even taking any sort of initiative and bank rolling any Wii/WiiWare/DS games. All the bright spots on the Wii front are coming from Japan!

I mean, Mother 3 is just waiting to be put on WiiWare now. Some guys are making this AWESOME looking 2D fan Zelda...but God forbid NOA does some good ol' fashioned community outreach!
Bastards.

NoA does seem to be falling for the same idea that American media outlets are perpetuating, that Wii is only for the casuals. Club Nintendo, however, might alleviate it.

Disaster will probably come along at some point, Fatal Frame IV apparently bombed (which is why they're not publishing it at all), and Captain Rainbow really had no chance of coming across

On Fatal Frame I heard the only issue with it was the control scheme but I suppose it's sales did warrant reason enough for Nintendo not to releases it in North America. However, I'd like to think maybe they'd give us the option or ability to play it.. some type of translator sd card or something weird like that. If it garners enough interest it won't be a complete loss. I'm thinking weird so forgive me, personally when this game was released it was the turning point for Nintendo imo, only bright sunny skies I thought but then nothing came our way. No More Heroes sold poorly but how bloody fantastic is that game, even the ratings... Id like to say Nintendo needs to stop cashing in but from a companies perspective that's just suicide, lol I'm screwed, I'll just have to learn Japanese it seems. >.<

I felt the same way that those Peas did after I bought my Wii.

Thank you Vgcats for capturing my emotions about the system.

that comic couldn't have described it any better! thats how I feel!

You go to the fansites to get away from the Nintendo trolls and talk more freely and more in depth about the company...even if that includes bitching!

At least I do.

Yes, but the straight-up trolls have begun penetrating the fanboy sites

You frequent GoNintendo, samfish, you of all people should know this. Their comment fields have become a cesspool.

i swear i almost ALWAYS agree with what you say Khan! your absolutly right their comment fields HAVE become a cess pool! i can't even go to myspace without hearing someone say that the Wii sucks and that they regret buying it! i mean come on now! MYSPACE!?! the (Wiihaters as i call them) Wiihaters even took it to MYSPACE!! like WTF does myspace have to do with NINTENDO!!??! its like they bitch just for the sake of bitching!! the Wii is GOING to get some very good games SOMEWHAT soon (2009 soon to be exact) so people need to stop complaining! i understand that people have a right to complain but damn! people who ARE compalining are making it their everyday hobbie to do so!

What exactly do you find gimmicky about it?

That's the last word that should come to mind if you've played games like Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Mario Kart Wii, Zack and Wiki, and many more great titles.

Amen, Sonic. Nice to see someone being positive.

You are right - there are some good titles out there for the wii such as the Mario and Zak and wiki.
But that is just not enough - i still expect more than "cute" games for my system.
I am not bitching on the wii - i am just plain saying it is boring me at this point.

My main gripe with that isn't my concern of quality for first-party games. I'd like to see Nintendo branch out and utilize the Wii and it's control scheme and bring interesting titles to life. Like I said earlier, Fatal Frame series, a great branch there but only in Jap, fail imo. Someone earlier mentioned animal crossing and mushroom men etc, ya I guess that's ok but it just doesn't warrant spending the bucks, there is no longevity and sense of fulfillment. That being said, it can be done. Games like No More Heroes and Okami leave you feeling like you played a "masterpiece" rather than a quick fix game. Look at what happened with the Conduit, why does a game like that have to struggle to get a publisher? It won't be the most amazing FPS but for the Wii it is a necessary one and Nintendo shouldn't idle while fans are salivating at the thought of playing it. Madworld, look at how much controversy that game is getting, why? I don't get it but perhaps it's because people are willing to say hey this is Nintendo don't bring that stuff here. I don't find that fair because I like to have variety in my collection and Nintendo is more than capable in bringing those titles here.... I think I'll just go back and replay some Killer 8 or World of Goo.

That's the weird thing. Last generation I owned a PS2 and a Gamecube. The generation before, a PS1 and an N64. This is the first time since the SNES that I haven't felt the need to own anything other than Nintendo's offering. And people say there's nothing worthwhile on the system. I have a backlog of titles to play.
