Must've been deleted. Why? Because you're wrong. I challenge you to find a person on this site who isn't retarded that agrees with what you're saying. You won't.
Urgh. It's people like you that ensure films like xXx and Too Fast Too Furious are produced, and games like Manhunt and True Crime are developed.
The problem with Sunshine is that they got most of it right, but the level design was occasionally sloppy, and some of the shine tasks were boring. It didn't have the purified excellence that the original 3D transition reeked of.
Super Mario Sunshine is the best 3D platformer of this generation, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is a very good racer and Mario Golf & Mario Tennis look to be shaping up excellently. Whatsmore, there's been nothing but good news about Mario 128 - with the same degree of innovation in Mario 64 being promised.
Besides, Nintendo produce lots of quality games in addition to Mario. Zelda is an epic franchise with each adventure never failing to be excellent, and F-Zero GX is a brilliant racer. Other recent gems I can think of are Eternal Darkness, Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pikmin, Mario Party 5, 1080 Avalanche and the Metroid series, which sparked off this conversation.
Nintendo's future is looking very nice in both hardware and software, as they continue to be one of the best games companies in the business. You really should play some of their consoles and games first, before you make stupid comments like that.
