Pretty fair editorial on Nintendo over the past console generations, and his feelings on the Wii.

Great history lesson, and a sober outlook on the new console.

I wonder how it will all turn out!

after reading this i'm going to wait for lots of feedback...

i think thats a pretty 'meh' editorial, eventhough i didnt take time to read it thoroughly

for one
nintendo has never been about being the most graphicaly intense console. yet that doesn't mean it hasn't been creative in it's design. people who focus on graphics tend to play some pretty boring games.

Oh and a great example of what i mean is, take a look at WoW. That stupid game can still play (although not well) on sub 1GHZ machines with 512 RAM. The artwork is awesome, but the game is not 'that' graphically enhanced

yeah, i agree.

it's all about having fun with the games that you play, not being floored by the graphics. imo.

and nintendo games are always super duper fun

agreed. But the point he makes is that nintendos recent consoles haven't kept up with games. And third party designers haven't put much effort into design and when they do it had taken them so long. Just more of a review about the seeming ineptitude of management
