Nintendo's ideas for gaming systems.
I cannot exactly describe why, but they just don't sound as exciting and new/original as the past's N64, Gamecube, and Wii... before they were released.
I don't think Nintendo could get any better than the Wii. And now they appear to be going downhill a bit...

But the wii U IS the wii, and better.

Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.

I haven't gotten to see the Wii U myself, but many people I know think otherwise.

Maybe the system itself is better, but what about the games for it?

On-topic while ranting, I have to say that the Sonic Generations Planet Wisp isn't well-designed, and quite a lot of people I know of agree, mainly because the way the stages are designed compared to how the rest of Sonic Generations is structured, the wisps are more of a pace-breaker, and the Planet Wisp stages are the longest of all the stages. I found that in Sonic Colors that since it was structured to be more of 2-D platforming, and since there wasn't too much speed implemented in the entire game, I found that it fit. However, the lack of Sonic's speed also made me not like Sonic Colors as much as I thought I would (except the DS version from which I've seen has quite a good sense of overall speed).

No. Don't say anything about the games.
The Wii U literally JUST came out. Don't use that as your point.
The good games will be out eventually.

I probably wasn't thinking very straight when I wrote that. Maybe not even now.
You are right. There are always good things to come, even when things may look bad. Like a n00-*shot*

Well, as awesome as the Wii U is, I consider the fact that there aren't very many good games for it yet a flaw. Of course, among the games we DO already have is Nintendo Land, so I guess I can't complain.

Well you can't really help it being a flaw when the wii u came out not too long ago.

Didn't the PS3 suffer from a smaller library at it's launch as well? Look at it now, it's a lot more popular with how much it offers now compared to the beginning.

When the walking dead game introduced ben.

I mean, the game is great. that's why it won awards...
But there's always that character that ♥♥♥♥ everything up for everyone.
That game, it was ben. Hated his fake pixelly guts.

The mario series in general. I mean c'mon, after 2009 they officially said mario games will have little to no story.
