I thought Monster Hunter 3 tripled Japans Wii sales alone. Besides if there are 3 consoles out right now wouldn't owning just below 50% of the market give them more than 1/3 of the market?

Just below 50%? There are three home consoles. Even if at 40%, it's still more than a third of the market. Still, I can't say Nintendo has much to say for themselves. Not a whole lot of substantial software was released in the first half of this year in Japan, and it doesn't sound like a whole lot is coming during the second, compared to previous holiday seasons. But it's still too early to see. Japan isn't a big market to begin with (when compared to America and Europe).

Make some new games, how does that sound? Not all that old recycled stuff we've seen this year. Worst Nintendo year ever if you ask me. Name me one memorable Nintendo game from 2009 we didn't already play on the GameCube?

Pay Attention said:

Re: Vive la Ouii way to pay attention. Wii Sports Resort, WiiMotionPlus games, etc. There have been plenty we didn't see on the Gamecube. You obviously live under a rock.

It makes sense, this past year hasn't been too hot. But wait until next year, Mario Galaxy 2, Metriod Other M, Redsteel 2, MH3, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and that's just the confirmed titles. Wii Zelda would inspire the most.

Viva: I personally don't see anything wrong with simply polishing classic games, and only slightly altering the gameplay additions here and there. Why exactly should someone fix what isn't broken, am I seriously the only one who's noticed whenever a game series goes through rapid changes it usually doesn't end well. Star Fox assault was in and of itself a good game, however was negatively received by many because they added scenes where you shoot from a 3rd person view on foot instead of operating a vehicle, if they did make it be nothing but air shooting like it's 64 counter part it would have been much more well received. At the very least when Nintendo does rehash many of their games they still remain loyal to their previous titles and if they stray from their original gameplay elements their still very good (a la LOZ 2 Adventure of Link). Just look at Capcom, for every memorable game Capcom releases they usually have 2 or 3 quick cash ins to go with it (and yet Capcom is still ironically my favorite 3rd party developer). The Megaman Battle Network series are looked down upon by most Megaman fans due to their RPG elements and being vastly different from previous megaman titles. Now let's Look at the classic Megaman series all of their games have been considered at the very least descent and the best of them (Megaman 1, 2, 3, and 9) are considered brilliant master pieces and some of the greatest things Capcom has ever made despite each of the games having only minor tweaks from their first predecessors overall gameplay functions. My point is sometimes it's best simply not to tamper with a already good game. If this plea doesn't convince you just look into Metroid Other M it is going to be a 3rd person shooter as opposed to the previous 3-d metroid game's FPS style, and is also being produced by Team Ninja as a means of making a game that will appeal to the Japanese game market more. Weather or not Team Ninja being in charge of this will be a good or bad thing I'm uncertain of but I do know any step away from the FPS genre is a GOOD one, so I have high hopes for Other M as one of the few games that has significantly strayed from it's previous golden titles (Metroid Prime's 1, 2, 3) yet still comes out just as good.

Wow, iwata! You actually noticed that ps3 and 360 gamers are taking over the market due to wii's plentiful childish games.
