Well...apparently Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, and Mario Kart Wii were cancelled right after release dates were announced.
At least that's what all the gamers on the Interwebs are acting like. Nintendo announced "WiiFit", a fitness game for the Wii. While neat, it does not interest me. The same for most of the "hardcore" gamers out there.
Honestly, you'd have to be a fool to not see something like this coming. Nintendo's obviously been going to this "expanded audience" thing for a while. Remember Nintendogs? Then there was Brain Age, then there was the name "Wii." Did you guys honestly expect that Nintendo would ignore the crap loads of money they're going to get for "expanding" their audience?
And it's not like Nintendo's going to stop making games that appeal to real gamers. No, Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, and Mario Kart Wii did not get cancelled. And, OMG, that's 4 hardcore games compared to 1 casual game (Wii Fit). WTF is wrong with you people?
And Mario Kart online with "more players." Finally some 8-player multiplayer Mario Kart?! And 32-player online Medal of Honor? That's what I'm talking about. Evidence that Nintendo has an online plan (but still not as good as Microsoft's).
And keep in mind, E3 hasn't even started yet. We'll learn more about third party games during E3. And remember that the Smash Bros. Brawl trailer wasn't revealed at Nintendo's conference last year. It was AFTER the conferences.
Also, if you wanted a 100% hardcore gaming experience and you're solely a Wii owner, you made a mistake. Get a damn 360 to go with your Wii. Wii60 FTW.
