I'm very upset in the Wii because they don't have any hard hitting 3rd party exclusives that I want. Just shovel ware, ports like Dead Rising, and a second wave of Gamecube styled 1st party games. I want them to be better.
I was going to get a Wii when I heard a rumor Mega Man 9 was announced for it as a Wii exclusive I said "yes! finally a reason to own a Wii." That was until I saw the official trailer for it at E3. Not only is it for Xbox Live and PSN but they went back to that gritty Nintendo look. >_< Don't get me wrong I appreciated that look when it was for Mega Man 1-6 but now it's un-exceptable to me. I was hoping they'd make the graphics a little more Mega Man eightish... so much for that.
So yeah, still no strong 3rd party exclusives. I am a Nintendo fan, I own most of their good systems (hence why the Virtual Console is meaningless to me) bought Smash Brothers, Donkey Kong, and Mario Kart before. I don't like the new Mario Kart and BRAWL seems to be more of the same. I'm noticing the Gamecube pattern here and I don't want to fall into that trap. Already have a Gamecube. I guess what I am trying to say here is this, I am glad Nintendo is ahead of the competition for the first time in years just like I'm glad they have something for the casuals but when is it going to be the hardcore gamers time to have great 3rd party fun show up on the Wii, a game I can't get on anything else. That's all I'm asking for. Not multiplatform games, not Wii-Fit/Sports, (although those are good too for those that like them) I know Nintendo can deliver and if/when they do I will jump on board.
