This is the end for the cube. There is nothing left coming that's not made by nintendo, or going somehwere else worth getting. All nintendo has left is Zelda, I was previously against moving it to revolution, but now I'm all for it. Nintendo should concede defeat this time around and start working on the revolution campaign and getting third parties into legally binding
agreements from third parties.
I disagree. Nintendo themselves has been on quite a role this year. They got Pikmin 2, Donkey Konga, Paper Mario 2, Metroid Prime Echoes, and Mario Tennis all in the space of 4 monthes. Mario Party 6, DK: Jungle Beat, and Star Fox are all set to come out soon in 2005, too.
Granted, none of these big exclusives titles are third party. I'd say that's disapointing, but I wouldn't go as far to say they're doomed. They have a big niche which they've gotten rather good at supporting by themselves. That niche will probably keep them going a LOOOOONG time.
They're a lot like Macintosh in that way. Of course, fanboys want them to be more like Microsoft.
