What the hell happened?

What's wrong with Nintendo?  They're losing it badly.  At first, I thought that it was okay what they were doing, but now I realize that Nintendo is out of ideas.  It seems like it anyway, because we're seeing remakes of every Mario game.  Even GBDK!  I wish Nintendo would start trying harder, but there's like one major Mario game for N64, and one DK game.  What will become of them, I hope they stop being their lazy-remake-like selves and come up with some new dandy games like they used to, cause I don't wanna see them fail!

Oops.

What I meant was just Mario games on GBA, cause Nintendo's other games are good.  Can't wait to buy Kirby Advance and Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance!

But you know, people have been begging for a portable Super Nintendo--and they got it with the GameBoy Advance! Besides, I've always wanted a GameBoy version of Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island!

Kirby Advance looks really good...it brings back the original Kirby style of gameplay; suck up your enemies and copy their attack powers!

Now, I've got some rather bad news to tell you guys at TMK. I was in complete shock when I learned this news, but I'm afraid it may be true...

I got this information from GamesRadar.com -->

GameCube may be Nintendo's last console. This was the shock news that was revealed at a analyst meeting yesterday by recently appointed Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata.

In talking about Nintendo's future direction, Iwata said that the company would focus on making better games and expanding its share of the games market as opposed to designing ever-more powerful consoles.

"We're reaching the limits of how far we can appeal to consumers by boosting the machine's performance or providing more compelling graphics and sound," he said. "I feel like a chef cooking for a king who's full."

This is not to say that he's not ambitious for GameCube though, saying that Nintendo intend to shift a staggering 50 million Cubes by March 2005.
