Re: Does anyone else feel that the Wii has been a terrible disappointment?
I've discussed this several times with BaB and I know he disagrees with me. But I've played through most of the killer apps, and there's not much on the horizon. Nintendo seems to assume that if they're gonna make a good platformer, they have to make a new Mario game. Or if they're gonna make a good adventure game, they have to make a new Zelda game. On the other hand, everybody always bitches about getting the franchises rehashed over and over again. I would love to see Nintendo start making new unique platforming and adventure games.
Nintendo needs to seriously reevaluate their development planning system. They're wasting their creative ability on disappointing games. They continue to focus on quick-play titles that are fun in the short term, but do not leave a lasting impression and do not satisfy in the same way a game where time investment offers a sense of accomplishment.
