Nintendo owes them some money, because they just sold me a Revolution.

Having said that, while Nintendo was releasing another Resident Evil game, and a Sonic the Hedgehog collection, Microsoft unleashed Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and Psychonauts, two of the most original games in the last five years.

If Nintendo could recapture the fire exhibited in that movie, they'd take over the world.

i'll give you psychonauts, hands-down ... but for every one psychonauts, there's 20 cookie cutter shooters ( ... )

first off, "another resident evil game" was RE 4, arguably one of the best games of the last decade. i agree with yer pyschonauts\oddworld critique, but dont discount RE 4. granted its one in a series, but its the best stab at the survival horror genre ever ( ... )

I was going to make a reference to Mario Party but switched it to RE4 when I realized that both you and Dave would probably read this.

I'm sorry, but Nintendo can be fun and quirky all it wants, but if it wants to make its name matter again, hardcore gamer or otherwise, it needs to get hungry.

Name one good thing that came from anyone or anything from resting on their laurels. And they get crazy and innovative more than anyone in any medium of entertainment, but who's playing the games?

They have the fire for everything but selling stuff.

The games are there. The quality is there. The imagination is there.

They just don't care if no one sees it.
