That's a good article. Nintendo has a good outlook. This year the only games I've really been playing are Zelda, Contra, Blades of Steel, Tecmo Super Bowl, Superspike Volley Ball, Ducktails, Mario. I kept realizing "these games are fucking simple. You could beat Mario 3 in an hour if you wanted to." Most of the games take about a month to get the hang of the controllers and then about 50 hours to beat. If Nintendo makes some Mega Man game that is simple right out of the box, I'd be happy as fuck.
The 8 bit system with the A and B buttons, simple as it was, is still my favorite system of all time. Go Nintendo!
