The Nintendo Sequels We're Still Desperately Missing 135
An anonymous reader writes "While the Wii U struggles, Nintendo's been raiding the archives and resurrecting some of its lesser known stars from yesteryear, including Chibi Robo, Steel Diver, and yes, Mario's oft-ignored brother himself — the company is going so far as to call 2013 the "year of Luigi". But as an article published today points out, there are still many more forgotten heroes in Nintendo's IP back catalogue. Series like Excitebike, Waveracer and 1080 used to be trusted to launch a new console, while NES classics like Ice Climber have all but been forgotten, alongside some of GameFreal's lesser known creations. Will they be enough to save Nintendo this generation?"

And the problem is? Nintendo is still making games that are fun. Most of the others aren't. For all the super realistic graphics on the other consoles, I enjoy myself a lot more when I grab my wii. All the extra graphics on the other consoles do is bloat the cost by 300%, making game devs less likely to take chances and reducing the number of types of games we can play. I think the gaming world would be better off if 3d had never been invented.
