I look round the shops at stuff I want to buy and its ALL Nintendo at the moment, the only other thing I've grabbed recently thats non-Nintendo is Zone Of The Enders 2. The quality is FANTASTIC at the moment, Viewtiful Joe, F-Zero, MK:DD, Sword Of Mana, Golden Sun 2, FFTactics ... all wicked. I think they're doing a grand job. Someone posted that ALL Nintendo are doing is sticking out rehashes. That IS a steaming pile, come on you have to admit it.
Take Zelda for an example, firstly, lovely new graphics engine. Secondly its the first bloody time that they seemed to have advance the plot beyond the previous game ... being set after the events of Ocarina Of Time, explaining how repeatedly a hero in green appears, also being set in a radically altered Hyrule, with a more story driven engine than before. A proper sequel. Now if thats a re-hash, I suppose that makes Metal Gear Solid 2 a rehash due to its similar gameplay and extention of storyline over the first game?
Mario Kart has finally had some new ideas bolted onto it, although it STILL has the same old cups, would have been nice to have a few more levels. Metroid Prime, rehash? The conversion from 2D platformer to 3D shooter is about as different as you can get!
Anyway, its nice to see Nintendo chucking out some real quality after a shaky start. When I compare games on my PS2 to my Cube, the Cube ones just look crisper, more vibrant ... ZOE2 STILL has awful dodgy borders on it. Hey ho, anyway a few choice PS2 titles still to come this year.

Pedantic mode - Nintendo did not publish FFTA, Sword of Mana, Viewtiful Joe etc. And 'recently' is pushing it, although for all I know the PAL release of F-Zero GX was last week. It's a pretty old game now though.
