That's the "Dude, I'm pulling in some serious bank and there ain't nothing you can do about it" look...

Followed by the "Hardcore....pfft..." look.

I was going to say the same thing. I'm not sure why there's a change of heart just for the DSi Ware store.

There are some incredible Wiiware and normal Wii games, the same with the DS, my wii haven't lacked use since I bought it when it came out, if you don't know how to search and inform yourself about games, you problem.

lol you're talking to someone who's never bought a bad game in his life. The point is, nintendo is the last company on earth that's allowed to talk about quality over quantity as the majority of all of their lineups is pure garbage. That's irrefutable and it can be proven by hard numbers.

Sorry tmac, but metacritic doesn't in any definition of the words constitute "hard numbers". A review is always just someone's opinion.

I wasn't aware you know what I buy. Maybe I just have a brain and know what I'm buying before dropping $60? It's that intuition and intelligence that steered me away from buying RE 5 and just renting it. Best decision I've made game-related all year.

I can't speak for the Wii, but there have been many more worthy games on the DS than I have had the time or money to play since the handheld launched. Sure there's been a ton of crap, but it's not hurting for truly excellent games, either. (maybe there are a few genres that lack the AAA titles, like shmups, but that doesn't detract from the overall plethora of goodness)

Ultimately this'll be the make-or-break feature for whether or not i buy a DSi before they start producing a lot of those DSi-only games they discussed

So i'm watching you, reggie. My keen gaze shall break down your implacable facade of "not my problem"

Dick Tracy villian - Little Face?

The last time Nintendo was touting 'quality over quantity' was with the N64. I loved my 64 but wow, there were some long droughts waiting for the quality.

Maybe that's the last time they emphasized the phrase, personally I don't follow trends in Nintendo marketing slogans that closely, but I think that's pretty much been their general approach for like a long time now. The number of important games on the N64 may be small enough to count on your own hands, but those were some of the best games litterally ever made: (OoT, Majora, Starfox64, Mario64?). Sure, they always have their fair share of minigames, lesser titles, and the rare utter failure, but the points that define them are their Zeldas, their proper platforming Marios, things that almost never disappoint.

Besides, it makes sense that the first party alone can never really create a majority of the titles for its system. That's practically what Nintendo had to do with the N64 as one third party after another defected to Sony, and it pretty well explains the droughts between Nintendo megatons. They were probably similar length to what they are every generation, you just noticed them more because there were fewer third party releases to distract you. The DS has already proved itself able to attract competent third party developers, hopefully that will carry over to the DSi shop.

Oh Reggie - again with the zany things that will undoubtedly make people think less of you. You used to be the champion of the American Nintendo fans - and now you're just some old guy who seems out of touch with the world as it is.

I feel like this is a miss-step on behalf of Nintendo. But oh well, I don't own a DSi yet, so I suppose I shouldn't care what they do with it until I do.

it happened when he became president of NOA. He's less creative now, backtracks a lot, and spews a lot more bullshit. He should just keep quiet now before he really shoots himself in the foot.

Now that I'm living in Japan, it has become easy to see that the Japanese market is still king for nintendo. The US is still its bitch, and if in 6 months japan has only had a handful of quality DSi games, then the US will have even less than that.

I know for a fact reggie is lying through his teeth, and it bothers me to no end to hear him speak nowadays.

Why's everyone being so negative? I'd much prefer to have A.) a conversation about the article rather than a series of lame attempts at humor about Reggie's face (aristokrat, you did good; everyone else, there's a place for that, it just seems over the top right now), and B.) one or two LostWinds or World of Goo-calibur games out of Nintendo every six moths to a year than have 150 "Frat Party Games" added every day. Quality over quntity sounds like a good idea to me.

Whatever. I don't know where you guys get the time to game so much but there's more than enough quality titles on the Wii for me. Hell, I don 't have time for the four systems that I own but I can't find it in my heart to sell any one of them because they all have really good games that I just haven't gotten around to playing yet. I'm still trading my DS Lite in for a DSi tomorrow.
Anyway, has anyone heard whether or not I'll be able to play at least my NES and SNES VC games on the DSi? 'Cause that would be tits.

Don't do it, you'll regret it. Trust me, I wouldn't lie to you.

"Anyway, has anyone heard whether or not I'll be able to play at least my NES and SNES VC games on the DSi?"

That functionality has not been enabled, but I don't see why it couldn't be implemented in the future.

Interestingly enough, Reggie was on CNBC earlier today, showing the DSi and talking about Nintendo. You should have seen these people fawning over the DSi like it was the coolest thing they had ever seen. It was weird.

"But, he stresses that these companies need to create experiences unique to the platform and not available anywhere else, so don't expect a DSi version of SSFIITHDR or anything."

I don't really like this. There are games out there that would be fine if they were just ported directly to DSiWare.

Also, I move that every picture of Reggie be replaced by a picture of Android 8 from Dragon Ball.

In the Wired article it says that Nintendo isn't going to infringe on the creative freedom of liscensees. That's just a suggestion, albeit a strong one, not a madate as I understand.

On the talk about this "quality" thing, I constantly keep hearing how the DS is supposedly the best system and way better then the Wii. I'm curious as to why that is, because all I see are the two libraries being very much the same.

In that case, you aren't looking hard enough. Name your 20 favorite Wii games (this includes Gamecube (Twilight Princess) and PS2 (DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3) that you can honestly say you still play now and then.

I'll give you 10 from the DS right now: Pokemon Pearl, Blazer Drive, Sangokushi Taisen Ten, The World Ends With You, Shiren the Wanderer, Prince of Tennis: Crystal Drive, Super Robot Wars W, SD Gundam G Generation DS, Ouendan 2 (Elite Beat Agents), Band Brothers DX.
