Gaming: Hey Nintendo it's not 2001 anymore!

As a Mac user, I do all of my video gaming on consoles. Currently both a Xbox360 and Nintendo Wii reside in my game room, but lately only one seems to be getting much love.

Am I the only one feeling cheated and ripped off by the Wii? Nintendo promised innovation, but instead have been repackaging the same tired franchises since the N64 days. How many times will they remake Zelda? How many Mario Strikers or Mario Baseballs do we need? How can they charge $50 for Mario Kart Wii, when it's the same game they released in 2001?

Next week TDL will take a look at some of the disappointments of the Wii. In the meanwhile have a look at this comparison video of Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart Gamecube. Can you spot the differences?
