I must say I am extremely pissed off at Nintendo this generation for many reasons!
You just cant buy games in Australia; Nintendo has only sold about 50k gamecubes in total and most major retailers stop stocking games over a year ago. Yes you can get most new titles from EB but if a game is not published buy Nintendo you have a very small chance of getting it after launch. For example I cant buy games I want like RE:0 or SOA:L!
After a good 12+ years of Nintendo gaming I just feel Nintendo is not offering me anything new. To be honest I am bored with every major Nintendo franchise with the expectation of Pikmin.
Nintendo has whored way too many franchises; I would be extremely excited to see them make a new platforming character or create an exciting new franchise but no we get more of a same old.
I also cant understand why Nintendo made no effort to have an exclusive AAA FPS title on there console this gen. Last Gen golden eye was the must have title and this gen its Halo 2. It makes sense to have such a game.
People have said its impossible to know what the next big thing is going to be but its safe to say people love FPS. Especially the university aged students that want to play some multiplayer over a few beers. Nintendo have been ranting about how they are going to target the 17 year old age group. Not likely with there current franchises.
No brand new Mario platformers on the GBA, I can play these ports on my NES why the fuck would I wont to buy them again? Seriously why Nintendo couldnt put the time and effort they put into these ports into a fresh new 2D Mario platformer?
Anyway I wont sell my gamecube (because you cant give them away in Australia) but its over.
At least I still have my Nes!
