So a few of you know, a couple months ago I gave in and bought a Nintendo Wii. Along with it I purchased Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Both great games in their own right, with Galaxy being an absolute superb platformer. Along with those games there are a handful of other good games out for the Wii; some of which I still intend to purchase. But unlike the Xbox 360 and even the PS3, I had took a keen notice that the Wii really had nothing exciting waiting for it in the near future. I was hoping that would change today at E3 with the Nintendo Press Conference. After the press conference I was left with a bad taste in my mouth, with the lack of ANY exciting news coming from the conference.

As stated before, the Wii has some great titles out for it. But a dozen or so good games can't make a console great. The reason the 360 is doing so well is because they have a library of great games combined with a lot of things to look forward to. But it seems like Nintendo has run into a brick wall, just as they did with the Gamecube. I was hoping the most for a new Zelda game, but was offered nothing even close. Instead the Wii seems to want to sit upon their throne that sits on a huge landfill of garbage third party titles, and the worst part about it, is they sit there with an ignorant oblivious smile on their face, pointing constantly to numbers and sales and having nothing to say about quality.

After todays conference I really regreted making my spur of the moment purchase of the Wii, and would have much rather put that towards a PS3, or something else that has a legitimate future. While Nintendo always seems to do great coming out of the gate, they always seem to finish with no style. Does this mean that the Wii isn't coming out with anything in the next couple years? No. But I'm afraid this year looks horrible for the Wii. Hopefully they have learned something this time around, and next year at E3 we can have some good surprises.
