Thanks to the massive success of the Wii and DS game consoles, Nintendo was able to turn the tide and once again become the number one game company in the world. As with any honeymoon, however, it must come to an end at some point. Nintendo reported its financial results for the first half of 2009 yesterday, and it didn't look good.

It's good news this drop, now they will stop being lazy and release more good games and more innovation..
And it's about time for Wii HD
My actual dreaming game would be a HD version of Legend of Zelda with heavy usage of motion plus
Another Zelda game in HD, now THAT'S innovation, lol! I always see hardcore gamers crying for more Mario, more Zelda, more Metroid, etc. Basically, "just give us the same shit we played last year, but make it look better!" That's innovation to the hardcore crowd, and the reason why they will happily plunk down $60 for the latest space marine shooter/fps flavor of the month. Maybe one day, these people will get tired of bleeding from the asshole and stop paying for the same games over and over again, start demanding real innovation, and not just another sequel with a higher polygon count.
PS: Before anybody accuses me of being a Wii fanboy, you should know that I don't own one.
