Castlevania HD is the best part of today. Might convince me to get a xbox360 again, but I'll probably just wait for a PSN version which is not likely since Konami is too lazy to port digital market games lately.
I'm kind of amazed that PS3 and 360 are just now getting Wi-Fi built in with their latest console reversions. That was something Wii had right out of the box
....huh? PS3s have always had Wi-Fi, since the original 60 gig. In fact only the 20 gig bare bones model came without Wi-Fi. PS3s aren't just now getting Wi-Fi, they're getting faster Wi-Fi.
As for HD and 3D and all that crap, none of it ever really mattered to me, and to be honest I can barely see the difference and can't even actually see things with 3d glasses on. But still, PS3 is now already 3d compatible, done via update through PSN. I dunno about Xbox, but I doubt they'll have 3d any time soon, and as for the Wii...well they don't need HD and 3d graphics. Little Timmy and Grandma Gertrude don't really care if their Miis swing their racquets in 3d or not, or if the new Mario game has super defined graphics. They're fine with what they have. Nintendo sidestepped the entire Console race by targeting 'non-gamers' with their gaming system, and that's exactly who they're currently catering to. HD and 3D aren't really going to make a game any better in the long run.

Do you ever happen to have your own thoughts or do you just repeat memes you hear on the internet? Because that "Old content is old" argument was really working for you, too.
Either way, those crying about there not being a Wii HD would technically be the "haters." See, "haters" are the people that disapprove of how someone else achieves success.
Additionally, "Haters gonna hate" is something usually said to disregard a personal attack, playing it off like some comment hasn't affected you. I didn't make a personal attack, but something I said clearly resonated with you or you wouldn't have responded, so clearly what I say affects you.
If you're going to spout memes, you can at least do us a favor and know what they mean. I believe they have sites for that now.

Yeah, 'cause nothing says "Hey Grandma!" like Zelda, Metroid, and even more challenging Mario levels. And "Sin and Punishment"? That's fun for the whole family!
So MS has not only learned nothing these last few years, they now want you to jump around and force the issue.
Poor Alan Wake disc, you do not deserve that fate.
Taking stupid memes way too seriously ftl )=
Words and phrases have meanings, there is little excuse for using them poorly even if its slang. Saying something without understanding the meaning of it is really just a great way to get yourself in some shit down the road.

Yup, because the one new Zelda game(two for the console so far), one new Metroid game(again, second one on the console so far), and another attempt at an "M" rated are what Wiis are all about.

...wow, I knew it was bad but I didn't think it was *that* bad. Hell I've seen PS1s and 2s dropped from 3-4 feet up and the games barely even skipped. I love the one guy's reaction though, you could tell he knew things were going to go bad real fast.

...dude, internet memes never have any meaning. It's just stupid stuff said for the distinct purpose of being stupid. Next thing you're gonna tell me is that bachelor frog is a way of life and that the numa numa kid is a reflection of our currently overfed yet under educated society.

Because we're talking about "what the Wii is about", not what audience Nintendo is serving.

If you want to talk about which audience is using the Wii more, talk about that. If you want to talk about which audience other publishers are dealing with, talk about that. But don't talk about what Nintendo is releasing, and then backtrack on that.
Also, as an exercise:
NES: 2 Zelda, 1 Metroid, 3 Mario*
SNES: 1 Zelda, 1 Metroid, 2 Mario
N64: 2 Zelda, 0 Metroid, 1 Mario
GCN: 2 Zelda**, 2 Metroid, 1 Mario
Wii: 1 Zelda, 2 Metroid, 3 Mario
*: SMB2 is of course technically Doki Doki Panic, but it evens out if you count Lost Levels. Either way works.
**: Counting TP as a GCN game, as it was designed to be one, and received upgrades for Wii, not a backport.
Also keep in mind the Wii is far from dead; Nintendo could EASILY increase that count of classic, core games before it goes out. And the Wii has access to all of the games before N64, PLUS Lost Levels which could be counted as an EXTRA Mario game brought to North America thanks to the Wii, to bring its count to 4. The only competitor to the Wii in terms of core games from Nintendo like this is the original NES. And that's including the infamous Zelda II.
The idea that Nintendo is straying from the hardcore market is absurd. They're expanding beyond it, but they're just as much putting out fine games as they ever have.
EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention Metroid Prime Trilogy. I'm not counting ports and rereleases as new games, but it contains huge enhancements to the original GCN titles; and provides three games at an incredible value. It's almost the Orange Box of the Wii.
I know he would make it a little Deus Ex-ish, but I like how he employed it here. I was worried the paintbrush thing would be too Okami-ish, but its totally not and thank goodness.
The Reach trailer was phenomenal, and it makes me sad that Bungie is done and moving to Activision. It really looks and feels like what Halo should have been all along - Spartans kicking Alien ass, not a glorified remake of Marathon.
Nintendo's press conference is almost over, I woke up too late to catch it so I'll watch the outtakes at GT later. I did see some kind of seriously retarded Kirby knitting game or something, and from what I read in the comments new Zelda is fail.
