Where the Wii Fits In

AGFlamey writes "On Angry Gamer is an interesting and lengthy article about the new direction Nintendo are taking with the Wii and in particular "non-games" like Wii Fit and Big Brain Academy. From the article: "Hardcore folks don't like to admit it, but Mario and Zelda are relics of the past. It's become quite clear that Nintendo is losing interest in remaking the same old games over and over. They want to pull us into something new, if only we can give them the chance." Is it such a bad thing that Nintendo are neglecting their roots?"

    Why there is neither Mario nor Zelda to play on the Wii then, huh?
    In Europe at least, no. Maybe they have a different strategy over here, i.e. the old 'don't bother releasing anything here until a year after everywhere else so we don't make any sales' strategy.
