From OMG to Meh

  It seems my tastes change some times. 10 years ago the prospect of a new Zelda game on a Nintendo console would have had me drooling at the bit in excitement. Yet consider now, a new Zelda game is out for the Wii and I couldn't be more meh about it. How Nintendo handled the Wii and let it become the shovelware bucket of crap that it became is a tragedy. They had a huge lead and a chance to push gaming in new and fun directions but they let it stagnate and sat there pulling in the money which they are now burning through at a frightening rate.

  The Wii is dead and even though the new Zelda game shows what could have been done with that console nobody cares anymore. There are so many other games worth playing on the PS3 let alone including the few others you can only get the the 360 or PC that it just isn't worth paying attention anymore. There was a time, when I was growing up and even a decade ago, where you could play most of the games that were worth playing. Now I have to decide what I want to spend my time playing since I literally can't play everything that is worth playing due to not enough time and/or money. I think even with the Wii U Nintendo is just becoming a me too console and that is a game they will lose. It can play everything the PS3/360 can, big whoop. Then the controller will allow other games but publishers can't afford to make games for just one console anymore, there isn't enough money in it so Wii U specific games will not exist beyond what Nintendo themselves produce.

  Its a shame really, I have spent a lot of time playing Nintendo games and now I don't see me buying another Nintendo console ever. I'll probably just stick to whatever playstation branded console Sony put out in a couple of years (best guess of most people is late 2013 at the earliest) and even then I may not jump on board if there is nothing worth playing.

  I think that really sums it up, there has to be something worth playing now for me to be interested. I'm not going to waste my time on stuff just to pass the time due to the glut of stuff that I am actually interested in.
