So you're so stubborn to admit that Link has dropped that you'd rather argue that a bunch of characters have gone up in strength?

what excludes Cloud Strife from being lumped into the "too strong for the normal bracket" group?

The fact that he almost lost to Snake and Samus? Seriously before the contest people would have laughed at those %, Next year Samus will be stronger and Surely Mario would be too. Cloud isn't invincable. Link is for the SOLE reason Cloud is the only one who can get any decent % on him. Samus and MArio would never break more than 40% on Link in a 1v1 ever due to SFF. But they would be able to beat Cloud.

Link isn't beating Cloud by much more than Cloud beat Samus/Snake. Link's win just seems tremendously more dominant because he starts off like a bull and then tapers off. If Cloud started the match with 57% on Samus/Snake and fell to 52% by the end of the day, I think more people would see him as worthy competition for Link.

Nintendo has changed. They're no longer showing off games that are still years away; both Mario Galaxy 2 and Other M will be released within about a year of their official unveiling. It seems almost impossible to think that Nintendo would reveal, hype, AND release Zelda Wii before the next Character Battle, but the rumors are that they're shooting for this holiday. It's gotta be very far along in development.

Nintendo needs to redo their entire strategy, starting with making good systems. Something they haven't done for two whole generations.

yeah i went there. Wii sux.

Nintendo hasn't uttered a single peep about Zelda. Reggie has had at least one lengthy interview where he said "wait until E3" verbatim, like a dozen times. He's not trying to raise or lower expectations, but remaining completely tight-lipped, which makes me think they're going to blow the top off this game at E3, and it's gonna be good.

I'm not huge fan of the Wii, but I think the 'cube was pretty good.

Hardware-wise anyway. The game library was the problem.

The Gamecube was pretty good with Melee as its anchor. It had two great Metroids, two great Zeldas (counting TP here), and an amazing Resident Evil collection. Pikmin was a fantastic new series, as was Animal Crossing. From a Nintendo fan's standpoint, it was just missing a Mario game of SM64's quality. I still think the Wii can be salvaged, especially if Galaxy 2, Other M, and Zelda Wii are all hits, but you've still gotta expect more from a system that's sold so damn much.

It's hard for the Wii to be awesome when third parties don't care much for it.

As for games it is pretty comparable to the Gamecube.

Okay maybe I went over a bit with the Gamecube sucked statement, but it certainly wasn't as good as the PS2 was. And the Wii has been so much worse that it amazes me how dominant Nintendo remains on this site. They've completely alienated the fanbase that made them what they are in my opinion. That is NOT cool.

When the next gen systems were released, I would have NEVER predicted that I'd be sitting here a few years later with a PS3, a 360, and no Nintendo system.

You're right. Nintendo has stopped making excellent additions to the Mario, Zelda and Metroid series. There also not making a 3rd Pikmin game and large numbers of good DS games.

They're only making Just Dance and Wii Fit.

Add Smash. They've stopped making those as well.

The issue the Wii hgas is 3rd party, exactly the same as it was with the GC. But it has a completely different side AS WELL. Core fans, whine though they might aren't getting any less than they were last gen.

CJaM613 | Posted 3/21/2010 3:39:58 PM | message detail
Uh...the only reason Samus and Snake were even close to cloud was a) 12 hour match, and then b) bandwagoning. That's the only reason you'll ever see anyone come close to Cloud, and even with those things no one will ever come close to Link, because the only characters that get bandwagoned are Nintendo -- and those characters could never stand up to Link (I consider Snake more ninty than anything now).

True the Wii edition of series are pretty comparable, I don't see what the Gamecube has over the Wii.

Pretty sure it was decided via nominations, which is why we ended up with some hilariously inflated seeds for characters like Nathan Drake.

Nintendo's DS is the best though, 3rd party support there is simply excellent, my favourite DS games aren't even from nintendo.

It is inferior to the other 3D Zeldas

Still an awesome game, but this sort of thing happens when you're forced to cut a third of the game.

Also, I'm just gonna say that while the Wii isn't the best console for 3rd party support, it does have way more 3rd party games than the Gamecube, and any Nintendo console since the SNES. At least there are quite a lot of games worth getting for it that are 3rd party.

Though I think a lot of the whiners just don't bother to look in that area-how many Wii anti-fanboys have even heard of Little King's Story or Muramasa?

The DS has been Nintendo's most successful system since the SNES.

Interestingly enough it was Nintendogs that started the push to build a lead over the PSP, before that it seemed that the PSP only had a few weeks before it took the lead.
