It's summer, or getting there and Nintendo has a very competent part of the gaming market thus far. Yet why arn't they keeping us existing customers satisfied? Why are we being dripped content for our beloved white boxes?

Sure the Wii isn't about power, thats been stated so much but Nintendo seems determined to have a last gen product on the market. Nintendo has never said the Wii isn't about features, they state its about community but in todays gaming landscape theres more than one community the box social and the online.

A next gen console, in this day and age should at least cater for the multi media areas the 360 and PS3 are successfully capturing. By this I mean it should play music, it should allow this in game and on the channel interfaces. (instead of the looping calm relaxing elevator music)
I know exciteatrick does this but im talking burning your music collection to the Wii via CD and playing it ANYTIME you wish. Im talking about making Ipods and the like compatible with the Wii. Storing music on the Wiimote? the possibilities are endless.

The Wii shop if im allowed to say such a thing is crap, you have one channel a year and these are always half arsed. An opera browzer is a nice touch but what have you done for us lately? theres nothing worth plugging my Wii in for on the VC at the moment. Wheres the ability to download demos while im asleep like Nintendo promised us? in face wheres the demos? wheres the DS link up for adding DS content? infact wheres the DS link up? That's two things Nintendo promised but didn't deliver 6 months into the Wii being on market.

And what is with the Wii's online infastructure, its not finished, nor has it been announced and the consoles been out 6 months. We want friend lists over every game, we want private chat, we want team chat, ability to play music on the Wii on any game ectra. We don't want silly slow friend codes just stick a parental lock on for that and give us what we want?

And then you have the games, nothing original and none-sequal sticks to mind for the console of new experiences. We did if you recall have Metriod planned for launch alongside Zelda and a promise Mario Galaxy would be out in the new year. Where the hell are those two? hanging back for a profitable season like Christmas no doubt? and lets be serious Nintendo could hold back Brawl till Xmas 2008 to capitalise massively at Christmas twice in a row?

The Wii has so much potensial but Nintendo just seem so content on doing nothing while the system flys of store shelves, too conserned with shifting units that keeping existing customers happy.
