Being a 21 year old dedicated gamer with a long history Nintendo fanboyism is not easy nowadays. Why did I buy a Wii? I remember the first days of E3 '05 when they demoed Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I was in awe. The motion and IR controls, fantastic art design, and just simply being another Zelda game was enough for me to get excited about. After that quickly followed Super Mario Galaxy, WarioWare, Excite Truck, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and finally Smash Bros. Brawl.

Those games, having been beaten time and time again, are now collecting dust.Nintendo games are becoming a dime a dozen today, as more players such as my mom and five year old sister are buying games more than I am for the Wii. Why did I pay for a system when my grandma plays it more than I do? Nintendo claims that they are reaching out to non gamers, but instead they are approving shovelware crap for a garunteed quick buck.
Wii Music, Wii Play, and Wii Fit have topped the charts since their release dates, and will continue to. To date, the Wii has about 860 titles, while both the PS3 and Xbox 360 combine to less than in software titles.
With the upcoming releases of Madworld and The Conduit, Nintendo has been given a last chance to redeem themselves. Creating simple ported "All New Play Control!" games such as Pikmin and Mario Tennis from the Gamecube does not count. They're just slapping us in the face.
