Hi Malstrom,
I gotta say I hope the rumors about the next Nintendo console, the so called project cafe, turn out to be just rumors. Because from what I’ve heard of the system, it sounds like an abandonment of every ideal that made the Wii such a success at fighting disinterest, and instead goes back to the mistakes of the SNES/N64/GCN era, I gotta tell you, if it turns out to be true, I’m done with video gaming (I’ll stick to board games for my gaming in that case, thankfully fun still seems to be the main goal there), I have no interest in a supergamecube system and supergamecube games, the only reason I stuck around this gen was the Wii and DS and their focus on games like NSMB, Wii Sports, etc.. So count me among the ranks of the disinterested gamers if the project cafe rumors turn out to be true.
Should it be any surprise that…
Wha- i- -ap-eni-ng!? The blog post is getting… interrupted!
An image appears…
“Hello gentleman! I am Shigeru Miyamoto! I make video games!
“You want more 2d Mario? And you want more games like Wii Sports? No! I do not want to make them! In fact, as the 3DS shows, the only purpose of a game console is to do what I want it to do. And you WILL like 3d Mario. I demand that you do! If you are having trouble hitting the block, please look at the DVD video below.
“Emailer, perhaps you should review this video again and again until you understand the glory that is 3d Mario. Once you are properly educated, then you will enjoy the games I prefer to make.”
The image of Miyamoto fades.
Oh my! Reader, I have nothing to say except this: the Wii only gamers are responsible for building Nintendo up. Therefore, these customers have the power to destroy Nintendo. Look at the 3DS as a preview to what is to come.
