The downfall of Nintendo

Nintendo has not provided anything new to date. Do not get me wrong, the Wii was revolutionary during its release. I was one of the many that purchased the Wii not just because it was revolutionary, but because it looked like something new and exciting. Well, fast forward to today, my Wii is stored away collecting dust.

I have to give great credit to Nintendo's marketing team. Because, if I knew graphics were not going to be up to par with the Wii's competitors then I would not of purchased it. I feel as if I was conned! Another complaint was the fact that the Wii could not do what was advertised, the motion sensors were out of control and games became a nuisance to play.

Now, this takes me to my last note on this topic. Nintendo continues to milk their platform exclusive games.
How many Mario revision games are we going to see? How many Zelda games are they planning on making before people start to catch on? How many times is Metroid going to be attacked by aliens that she killed years ago? We need something new, not remakes and revamps of old classic games with improved graphics.

The Wii was a complete disappointment. I do not understand how Nintendo could state the Wii was a "next-gen" console. The specifications on the Wii's hardware were comparable to the Gamecube's specifications.

With that said, the Nintendo Wii U is said to have specifications comparable to the PS3 and the 360. That is not a next-generation console guys! Why would I buy a console that has the same specs as the PS3 or the 360, when there are going to be more powerful console out there? I believe this may be the second to last console Nintendo will release and follow SEGA's path. If I am wrong, Nintendo needs to open their eyes and understand that they can not compete against Microsoft or Sony.

Nintendo's disappointment at E3

PlayStation Vita Beginning

I was one of the many that loved their PSP. I bought my PSP at launch, and I have loved it ever since. The PSP is a great piece of hardware. You can search the web, listen to your favorite music and play your favorite PSP or PS1 games all at the same time. Graphics are still top-notch for hand held consoles. Of course Sony has delayed the new era of the PSP for quite sometime. Nevertheless, the time is now, Sony has announced the Playstation Vita. Which will incorporate every single thing the original PSP was missing. Dual analog sticks and better multi-tasking, what else could I ask for?! Maybe backward compatibility with PS2 games, might be a little to much, but I can dream right? Some of the features of the PSP VITA, sit back and enjoy.

Call of Duty - ModernWarfare 3

Well where can I start? Call of Duty 4 revolutionized all first-person shooters. The first time I laid eyes on the Call of Duty gameplay I was stunned by the graphical environment it had to offer. Also, how often do you have a main player die in the game?! That in itself was breath taking! At first glance I actually thought the gamplay was Computer Generated Imagery. After finding out that it was game play I was astonished, and I knew that was the game to get. Once the announcement of Modern Warfare 2's release I literally thought that the sequal was going to be the end of epic fanchise, I was definitly wrong, and I must admit I was very excited. Modern Warfare 2 did not bring much new into the franchise, nevertheless, it was the game to get.

Now before the talk about Modern Warfare 3 at E3. I was a bit hesitant to search the game. As I had a feeling they could do nothing to improve upon Modern Warfare 2. Now with the release of official trailers, I found myself excited yet hesitant because I do not want to waste sixty-dollars on an exact Modern Warfare 2 replica with just an added feature or new skins for weapons. I broke down and previewed the trailer, and I have to tell you. It was a huge let down. I saw nothing impressive, and just another linear shooter game. The little hope I had for this sequel was crushed, I for one will not be getting or jumping on the bandwagon for this game.
