They do, honestly.
They used to be so amazing, they catered for every kind of gamer with the NES, and they released fantastic new series' like Mario, Metroid, Zelda. These games were revolutionary at the time.
Problem is, 20 years later and we're basically still playing exactly the same game, just in 3D. Nintendo seem afraid to change anything in case they upset the retro nuts. What they don't realize still is that they're basically abandoning their hardcore roots for girl thingy games like Wii Fit. Who the hell wants to pay £70+ to stand on a plastic board headering virtual footballs for 10 minutes before getting bored, then watching your nana hop on and make a complete fool of yourself?
Nobody, with any self respect. The Wii has been the biggest waste of money I've ever spent. Motion controls are a gimmik, I thought they'd totally revolutionize the way we play games. What have they got? Mostly lazy ports with tacked on controls. Galaxy hardly utilized it well, Zelda's were quickly stuck on with no thought. Last year I bought 4 bloody Wii games, they were ALL disappointing. This year there's just one game I want for the Wii, Brawl. It's pathetic.
Now that it's been out a year, the novelty of the controller has worn off and it's just not enough to sustain the masses, apart from the gleefully happy 5 year olds who get their parents to buy them Ninjabread Man and Carnival Games. We need some proper games now, I'm sick of playing Mario, I want something original for once!
Worst Nintendo console ever made. I hope they rot in Hell for letting me down so bad.
Meh, I could go on...
