Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has noted that Wii console sales in the US for the Thanksgiving weekend were 'huge', with the company selling 800,000 units in three days.
Last year for the same period the company sold only 350,000 units of the popular game console.

The abandonment of games for the N64, such as RPG's, had to do with the deals going on with Sony. Many devs were ticked at the Big N for having a cartridge based system. Among them were Square (FF) and Capcom (Resident Evil, Street Fighter, etc.) so the N64 really suffered. Nintendo is just starting to get those devs back into the fold within recent years, but still, everything is a "cookie cutter" process, mostly a new FF here and there.
My DS satisfies some of my nostalgic 2D game craves...
As for the N64, I LOVED that thing. 95% of the games were crap, but that could be forgiven with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, among a "few" other gems.
I also wanted to mention that Halo 3 reminded me of Doom 64 with upgraded visual!

Quest 64 sucked but Zelda was enjoyable even if flawed as was mario, I personal loved Turok it was my first real 3D FPS not a 2D sprit based one.

I remember seeing the commercials for quest64 and thought nintendo was going to start making rpg's again... after forcing myself to finish the game I was quite happy that they never did. I gave the big N one more chance with crystal chronicles for GC which I beat in 6 hours and felt violated. Kind of reminds me of the new star wars movies vs. the old

Quest 64 was made by rare I think it was a generic RPG like most new RPGs today, crystal chronicles is spares attempt to make a simple FF action game in the view of FF adventures and Mana.

I just got a Wii.....it is awesome. Every system has crappy games, if you want to go that route let us remember to point out the ps3. Yeah it only outputs 480p, but if you equate graphics to fun factor you have problems. 360 is still #1 to me though.
