Okay so I was sitting here thinking about games I wanted to buy, and also thinking about how Nintendo sold Rare, and how Cube has been out for almost a yr now? I asked myself WHERE are the 1st party games??? Star Fox is just now coming out, and Nintendo sold them out, which I guess is understandable taking in consideration Nintendo's merits. However my queston still goes unanswered, I refuse to think "oh joy!" just because Star Fox is now here, and even Mario, I love it but come on... We all know that was sort of a welcomed surprise and not the game that we've all been hearing about since Cube's release or the game that got us all hyped up. I'd first like to take a look at:
Exhibit A: Silicon Knights
Remember that little company that sold us all on "Too Human," where is Too Human now? I haven't heard about it since last year... The game had better be amazing if it's this TOP SECRET
Exhibit B: Brownie Brown
I have yet to experience the fruits of their labor, granted I don't own a GBA. Where is the RPG we've been promised, WHERE? Nowhere that's where... I mean can we even get a name of the game instead of, "Brownie Brown RPG"pssh...
Exhibit C: Retro Studios
Yes we're expecting Metroid from these guys? Well "oh joy", maybe they can start work on smaller projects after this and start pumpin out quality, or not... Another long wait will be at hand once Metroid is released I'm sure, or I'm sure they'll prolly get started on the next Metroid! "Oh thank heavens a sequel!

So I think you all get my point here, all these "parties" but no games, it doesn't add up to me and am rather dissapointed. I mean everyone was complaining and moaning about how they didn't think Cube would be supported in the 3rd party region but to me that looks like what they've got goin for them the most... If we were to name the top 5 games coming out within the next month, I gurantee they would all be from a third party. In conclusion I'm just wondering if anyone else is feeling kinda dissapointed about the drought of 1st and 2nd party games that we were promised.
