  Keep your customer satisfied

  Honestly, this years Nintendo Conference was disappointing for me as a long time Nintendo fan, but in no way to the general public. The Big N gave us a thorough explanation why they focused on games like Wii Music an Wii sports resort and gadgets like wii-motion plus during the press event. Call it shovelware, call it crapware, call it Gamecube 2.0 games. It's these types of games that attract more and more people into playing games, hence one of the reasons current third party sales are on top. But sadly, none of these games got my slightest attention.

  During the the last two years, Nintendo did release some great first party games, like Twilight Princess, Warioware, Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and a few other games. Also, they have some great upcoming games like Tales of Syphonia, Wario Land: Shake it, Sonic Unleashed (which will hopefully good this time). But looking at the rich library from the NES/SNES/N64/GC, there are still some impressive games that Nintendo can create sequels or remakes or entirely new games. Where are the games that we, core gamers, can enjoy? Where's Star fox? Where's Kid Icarus? Where's F-Zero? Bomberman? A Real Pokemon RPG (or at least Snap)? Golden Sun? Breath Of Fire? Earthbound? Riviera: The Promised Land? Pilot Wings? Skies of Arcadia? Is it really that hard to create another Donkey Kong Platformer? Maybe even a Luigi's mansion 2?

  There's at least one game in the list I mentioned above that you are longing for, but they didn't give us anything.

  Nintendo did reach their goal: Sell systems (as any big business would), check. Get non-gamers into gaming no matter what age, check. Create something new and innovative, check. They really worked hard on a machine that isn't too complicated and is accessible to everyone interested. I think they made that pretty clear during their last 2 conferences -_-.

  Now, as a Nintendo Wii owner (not a mindless fanboy), are you currently satisfied? Me? Yes, I am. I'm having a lot of fun playing Brawl online and locally with some friends, so it's definitely getting some hours. But in order to keep the gamers attention to your console you must prove that you can still create quality, top of the chart, first party tittles. And honestly, I'm not seeing anything big at the moment.

  But fear not. This year ain't over yet. Leipzig and Tokyo Game Show are just around the corner. Hopefully here, they will pay attention to the long time gamers. And if they don't show anything by then, then it's going to be a very though Christmas with tons of unsatisfied costumers.

  Nintendo, here's a new goal for ya: "Keep your customers satisfied"

  Well, the cat is out of the bag: It's Gamespot beta!

  Don't' know what it is? It's Gamespot Beta! This is the beta version of the new design of the site and so far I'm loving it, especially the new look of the profiles. Also, don't forget to take the survey in the top right corner to let them know what you think. If you want to provide feedback, feel free to post them in this thread.

  In other news, I've finally bought a Wii last month along with SSBBrawl and I'm loving it XD. I'm always open for any challenges so feel free to post your FC in this blog or tell your friends XD.
  And yes, I can own.

  Summer has started!

  That's right! After a whole month filled with exams, I finally have some free time.

  I'm still accepting challenges. So PM me or comment below with your FC if you're confident enough. Oh, and Gabu, let me know when you're back so we can battle.

  And guess what? I'm the Mod of the Month of May! I have bragging rights now, lol.

  Well, as you can see, I'm too lazy to write blog (i did enough wrtiting for my papers O_O ) so I'm keeping this short and sweet.

  Later peeps!

  EDIT: I forgot to mention, I was talking about challenges on Pkmn Diamond/Pearl. My bad .
