Im with ETM. I was a diehard Nintendo fan since '85. Hunted down a wii after visiting like 8 stores on launch day, was happy and had fun for the first few months, but all these little niggling things started stacking up:
- the lack of nice HD
- the constant battery changing
- the cumbersome store
- the fucking nunchuck style controls
- etc etc.I finally got a PS3 a couple years after and was blown away at the graphics difference. I gotta say, as fun as a game is, it does make a difference when you have 2 systems side by side and one looks awesome and the controller is easier to hold, and all that.
I was dissilusioned with Nintendo, but bought a 3DS for my kid and its much of the same. Cheap gimmicky shit, poorly designed hardware, and an 'online store' that boasts maybe 3-4 good games, the rest being garbage. The 3DS was really the nail in the coffin for me.
Nintendo makes toys, thats it. Sad to admit it cuz i grew up loving them my whole life.. like over 20 years of having their back..
