Video games going down the tube...

E.T. is possibly the worst video game ever made and almost took down the whole industry, is Nintendo heading down the same path? With games such as cooking mama and petz I start to wonder whether nintendo will bring us down the same path as the atari 2600 did with their slew of horrible games meant to make a few quick bucks in a booming industry. The line was drawn at E.T. then so where will the line be drawn on the wii? At what point do we say that these games need to be made like a game should. I'm surprised developers are making such bad games considering the wii sales of games is not as great as their console sales. Most people buy the wii, play wii sports, and leave it alone until something mildly interesting rolls along around christmas and the game is gifted to some poor kid who is stuck playing wii music with no pay off or value. I'm not saying that metroid prime and super smash brothers aren't great AAA games but, so far, there are very few new IP's even worth playing not to mention buying. The nintendo seal of approval is no longer saying that a game is good, just that it works on the wii or DS. Why is it that making money is always more important than making a good game as shown by wii games and deadline games that turn out terrible?
