As terrible as Star Wars Jedi Arena was, at least the game developers were trying different ideas back then. Now, the majority of video games fall into one of maybe six different genres (run around and collect stuff for 20 hours, one-on-one fighting games, first-person shooter army games, sports, driving, or really boring role-playing quests).
The upcoming Nintendo Wii is supposed to change this slump in creativity. I hope it does.
Well I would say that given the Xbox 360′s all but complete and utter flop, and low interest in the Playstation 3, the opportunity is there for Nintendo. However, I think that the consumer-base has tired of Mario and Zelda and Metroid titles.
