Animal Crossing: City Folk
For all the previously stated reasons. I played Wild World on my DS quite a bit back in the day, and this game was just like it... And that is no exaggeration! What's most disappointing about this game is that Animal Crossing has the potential to be one of the best games ever. No exaggeration: They need to update the graphics (the style can remain similar, but we need something above N64 quality textures and models, don't you think?), add more varied towns (instead of always giving us the same basic layout, with cliffs, a river, and a beach, let us have more say in what we want. A desert? A tropical island? Why not? It's my town!) and add some MMO aspects. Just my opinion, of course, but I hate to see this game series stuck in neutral.

Donkey Kong Country Returns
I actually enjoyed this game quite a bit, mostly because of nostalgia, but Retro picked the wrong DKC to clone. The second DKC had the better music, stages, and motif (yes, I loved the whole pirate gag). I'd love to see a second one!

Skyward Sword
One of my favorite Wii games, but it gets mentioned on this list because it should have been, unquestionably, the greatest Zelda game in the series. The controls add to the game and increase the tension and action. The painterly look is epic. But the lack of diversity (in types of areas and enemies - especially that one super annoying boss-monster you fight multiple times!), content (The sky world was lifeless outside of the main town) and persistent fetch quests brought the game down (The spirit world tests just ate away at my patience, and I hated having to collect those things for that water dragon, just to name a few). There are some other downsides that I could mention, but I'll save that for another time. Again, it's such a great game... when you really master the controls and own a boss or two you feel GREAT. But when your sword gets taken away from you and you have to collect imaginary tears to prove you're the hero... Not cool.

I do want to mention how much I enjoyed the Mario Galaxy series... Some people here were disappointed with it, which I can kind of understand, but I really think Galaxy was the perfect marriage of 2D Mario with 3D Mario. I did miss the openness of Mario 64/Sunshine in the Galaxy series, but I also enjoyed the return to more frequent action and jumping puzzles. The smaller worlds meant more life and less nothing to wander around in. But I do understand why some people miss the openness (and I do hope Nintendo does return to that openness for the next Mario game). The Galaxy games alone made my purchase of a Wii well worth it (I paid $80 for it two years ago), so despite the many disappointments (and missing games series, like FZero and Star Fox, both of which probably would have been great on the Wii) I do no regret buying a Wii.

Tis an opinion,even though it's a crap opinion.

Even after all these years we're still going on about it... lol. Why it was cancelled I still don't know.

Skyward Sword: I'm a die hard Zelda fan, I really am, but this one was horrible. The controls worked well, the story was fine and the visuals are quite impressive... but the thing that ruined it for me was the Silent Realms, I didn't like collecting stuff in Twilight Princess and I don't like it now. They weren't fun at all.

GoldenEye: Fantastic game... but the constant freezing and the fail controls at times made this annoying to play. Go online and it's faults double in annoyance, but it was still fun with those problems, but would've been better if those faults weren't there in the first place.

the game never froze on me Ò.ó and what crontrol problems did you had? did you played with pointer or classic controlller?
To me, it was disappointed how the game suddenly changed from an tatical approach, to all hell breaks loose and thousand of enemies and explosions after the first half of the game, it lost identity and felt like playing a world war game. Also, it was VERY dark, a commom problem on many modern games... but I still loved the online mode, felt more balanced than CoD

Thank God I love Other M and DKCR. It would be really annoying to be you.

1 hour of suck in a 40+ hour game = horrible game?

...what

Haven't you heard? Any flaw discovered in a post-Ocarina Zelda game automatically makes it an irredeemable failure.

Well good point as that's consistent with people complaining about Majora's Mask who clearly didn't play it for more than an hour or so. (thankfully though I haven't seen that complaint in years)

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHA

over-the-top evil laughter at my internet joke?

...what

The only thing that disappointed me about Skyward Sword,was the final boss.

I don't want to get put on the backburner or get put into the ultimate "Nintendo Life Users To Despise" list, but I was disappointed in Okami. The art style is beautiful and they have some nice dialog going on, but I just found myself a bit bored with playing it . Of course, if someone else was playing it and I could just sit back and watch it, I'd gladly do so!

For me, the game has an insta freeze spot at the helipad in the first mission.

Skyward Sword for me. I didn't hate it, but I didn't LOVE it like I have all the other console Zeldas. It seemed kind of half-finished in spots with repetitive enemies, few memorable NPCs, a very barren sky overworld, etc. To me, Skyward Sword seemed to have the scope of a handheld Zelda title because of how small the world felt and how few sidequests there were.

You and me both bud!
I found this one completely uninteresting, even it's unique visual style didn't quite do it for me and i too found the entire overall package to be quite boring.
The fact that it's around 40+ hours long completely turned me off....I could hack that in Zelda Skyward Sword, but with Okami? No thanks.
Dead Space: Extraction was also quite possibly one of the most boring on rails shooters i've ever played....I've never been a huge of fan of Aliens + Space (Metroid is the only real exception) so there was that going against me. I just about finished it but threw in the towel because i wasn't having any fun with it.

House of the Dead 2 is still the finest On rails arcade shooter i've ever played. Meanwhile i found RE: Umbrella Chronicles, DS: Extraction and HOTD: Overkill to be all dissapointing, but i'm willing to give RE: Darkside Chronicles a chance.

Super Mario Galaxy
Then again, i'm completely mixed on this one. There are things that i absolutely love about it including the wonderful imagintive and memorable world/planets, the beautiful graphics, most of the score, and the nice blend of motion controls(Bubble Blower curser and Web Slinging had to of been my favorites. Plus the boss battle against bouldergeist! ;} )

But i have to admit, i just didn't have that much fun with it. The controls were clearly on the slow side, unlike any mario game previously released and the flow of the game does not make me want to revisit it whatsoever aside from checking out the scenery. Mario 64 had such complex and varied analog control for mario, where even the teeniest sublte movements counted. Here in Galaxy that range of control was completely stripped down and it was far more loose feeling. And that hub world? Blugh....Give me a world map and lets call it a day.

Also, Mario 64 may of been absolutely groundbreaking for the time but playing it now doesn't exactly showcase that wonderful 'wow factor' & magic it previously once had, obviously due to the 1st gen 3D visuals and barren environments. It's still as fun as ever, but I've got to admit i'm not a huge fan of 3D mario....Yet at least. Back in the mid 90's even mario 64 failed to impress me half way through the game. It may of been in 3D, but those 3D graphics didn't capture the personality, charm and detail of it's SNES brother Super Mario World. Maybe SM3D Land or Galaxy 2 will change my tune.
I love SMB1,2,3 and World and that's that.

Zelda: Skyward Sword, Xenoblade, SMG2... Pretty much anything I bought in the past two years except for MHT. Let's hope I don't add The Last Story to this list D:

what kind of expectation does one have to be disappointed with Mario Galaxy 2? The game delivers 130% everything it promises.

Pretty much anything that wasn't a FPS. The Wii needed more FPS games.
