Nintendo - Can They Break A History Of Dull Games?

So there's a review of the new Nintendo Revolution and more particularly its controller. Nintendo has a history of innovation...in hardware. Unfortunately, their strict adherence to family-friendly gaming basically limits the platform to usually dull spin-offs of usually dull rehashes of usually dull premises. The technology can be really interesting, but without a title that intrigues me, it means nothing. The only reason I ever bought a Gamecube was for Mario Kart: Double Dash. NO OTHER REASON. I only bought a Gameboy (Advanced SP) to have Mario Kart in a portable format. NO OTHER REASON. The revolution will be no different...have a compelling game (or at least a re-release of Mario Kart), or be doomed to innovating yourself into non-existence.
