Tristam said:What are you talking about? All sorts of lame life simulation games were released (and by large gaming companies like Square) years before this article was printed.
Agreed. And early Mean Machines and the old CVG (although they were UK mags so I guess not so popular in the US).Talladega Knight said:I love the retroness of the old Nintendo Powers. In a lot of ways, I miss when videogame journalism was like this.

koam said:You know what I find funny and ironic? Everyone during the Gamecube days was bitching at how Nintendo was whoring out its IPs and wasn't creating any new ones. They created three major new IPs.
Nintendogs
Everything Training
Wii everything
Everyone is bitching about those now and want more mario, zelda, metroid.
Oddly enough, their new IPs are doing a lot better than their older ones lately.

Maybe now that Nintendo has these new massively selling properties, those same posters want Nintendo to return to the old franchises, so that they can put Nintendo back into their imaginary box and forget about them?

I don't get it: it says that article is from 4/1/06, so why does it still call the Wii the Revolution? And at that point, it was pretty evident that Nintendo would take the lead.felipeko said:We really should start taking april fools about Nintendo seriously... The gamespot one was on the spot too.
