I think I'm bothered the most because Nintendo's rehash train started waaaay earlier than anyone and has spanned a half dozen hardware platform and every hardware platform is built on the same exact set of games. For example N64, Gamecube, DS, and Wii...4 systems that were built entirely on the same goddam games that were re-released for each platform in a number of creatively bullshity ways, each time asking you to cough up full price.

I was stupid enough to think the Wii brought new blood to the formula and I was ENTIRELY wrong. It was almost a perfect creature...it made third party titles that were *so* awful and so reprehensible that the ONLY games "worth" getting were the Nintendo titles. It was genius. Case in point, here is a list of the Wii's best selling titles...

Nintendo rules the top 10 best selling games and a third party title doesn't enter the list until place 13. I was in denial but I get it now. This is the shape of things on a Nintendo platform. I bought the Wii and its only function is to stream video from Netflix. The Wii U can eat shit and fucking die.
