nikka this isn't 1996 anymore
Nintendo and quality does not belong in the same sentence
Sony and Microsoft have both been putting out better quality products for two, soon to be three generations straight
And the ps3 was not overpriced, expensive, yes, but how the hell can a system that cost 900$ to make and sold for 600$ be overpriced? Besides that was 7 years ago.
Nintendo began creating gimicky, casual friendly bullshyt, that catered to people that had no interest in video games in the first place and that's why they are failing, this is what happens w hen you abandon your fan base in favor of nikkas that want simple cellphone quality, shovelware games.
I said this in another thread, ps2 dominated cause it had no real competition, Xbox and GameCube both sold under 30 million when the ps2 dominated, of course that won't ever happen again cause Microsoft is real competition now, they split the market share damn near right down the middle.
LOL If it wasn't for Nintendo, Sony would still be using them oversized joysticks. The Big N innovated on a lot of shyt, like the joystick on the N64. They still have an importance to the gaming industry and for people to be happy to remove an innovator that still makes AAA games from the console race, is just evil. If that ever came true, then the gaming industry will suffer another crash like 1983 due to stagnation outside of better graphics.

Donkey Kong Country Returns was one of the best games this gen..other than that I agree..lolMario galaxy was great, even tho I feel like The second (while better that the first) was almost the exact Same game.
Metroid prime series was dope even if the first two were a lot better than the third, the wii controls is the only thing that made that game fun, seriously, play the first two with wii controls and tell me I'm wrong.
The last Zelda game was shyt. The one before tried to be a darker oot
Nintendo can make AAA games when they want to but that hardly ever happens.
They rather make new super Mario bros 15 and a bunch of rehashed remakes of their old games ( Kirby, donkey kong country, punch out, etc.)
How come we can't get a real game from those series, shyt donkey kong 64 Is the last time they actually gave a damn about that character.

nintendo has too many billions in the bank to die because of wii u, however, i do believe that their next console will be a console/handheld hybrid that will even further distance itself from the traditional console business.
most likely, the wii u will simply live on in irrelevance like gamecube. an embarrassment but still profitable with a few big first parties coming out a couple times a year.

i think four years from now, for $200-$220, they can convince a large number of people to buy into a fairly advanced handheld that can connect to a tv and have controllers connect to it (wiimotes and wii accessories, wii u pro controllers)
this would probably mean it automatically inherits the great 3rd party relationship the 3ds has with developers, and nintendo gets to focus all efforts on making AAA games for one platform. it's the most logical thing they can possibly do.

of course mario galaxy 2 felt similar to the first game, it was a direct sequal made with the same game mechanics. however, the level design in part 2 was waaaaaaay better than the first.
in regards to metroid prime, i have the trilogy on wii and it goes 2>3>>>>>>>>1. the second two were so much better than the first its not even funny. you cant seriously think prime 1 is better than prime 3.
the console/handheld hybrid is definitely happening. they are already merging the console and handheld departments so there is more crossover.
as far as wii-u, even if it flops, it will still live out its game cycle of whatever amount of years before we see anything new on the horizon. even if the wii-u does gamecube numbers, the gamecube was a good system for those that had it.
people saying nintendo is gonna be sega status gotta chill, the wii-u has only been out for 3 months and has already sold 1/3 of dreamcasts total sales.

Haha even with these issues Nintendo is still an extemely wealthy company. So they aren't going anywhere. Honestly the Big N can save this console but they are going to have to work inhouse to make a true AAA title, and drop the price. Even then I expect them to put out another console by 2017.
Needs more internal storage or dump the 8gb model all together.

That too especially.
Good
In 2012/2013 they released a console that doesn't blow away tech from 7 years ago. Then their last console wasn't even HD.
