You would think that at this stage they could get that in there ;)

I laughed several times at his comments. He or they (Nintendo) don't
seem to get where things are headed, whether he likes it or not...agrees
or disagrees. Things are headed toward an all-in-one-unit for home
entertainment and eventually everything along those lines including PC
functions (some of this already but not completely yet.) Him or Reggie
forget now, but it was the G4 interviews (which have been quite good,
Sessler with Allard from Xbox was equally good as these Nintendo ones)
and they talked about what you mentioned, going after a target audience
of something like 11-20 yr olds etc.. Am I mistaken or have there not
been numbers out there that put the average age of gamers quite a ways
outside his target bracket? They say they are not "kiddie" based yet in
the one interview (the Reggie one) this is brought up by the interviewer
and he says something like "we have mature games, like (he hesitates a
little) RE4...(hesitates a lot more) and well we have most of the big
games from the other developers/publishers." They just don't get it,
don't have a freakin' clue. If they want to stay glued to the younger
gamers fine, do it...admit it but don't try to fake it.
While we still know little about Nintendos "Revolution" so far there is
nothing revolutionary about it. Unless it is the being able to download
all the old games, which to me is just beyond weak. Most of that stuff
has been re-released already on handhelds or available by other means.
If you want to release this stuff again then do a disc like the Arcade
Treasures or Namco Museum (think those are the right titles.) And really
what thrill is there in playing these old titles on new improved
hardware...none that I can see.
You can only milk those same charcters/franchises so much, and I think
this might be the point that many of the die-hard Nintendo fans finally
wake up and realize WTF is going on. Sitting around waiting for those
couple of great games a year, if that, is lame...especially when the
other two are putting out so many more. Nintendo is not IMO the end all
of game developers as they may have once been or once considered. Plenty
of other companies out there that are putting out as good if not better
games and with much more frequency. Maybe the "Revolution" will turn out
to really be something great, but at this point and with what Nintendo
has done with the last two consoles I seriously doubt it. They look like
they will remain where they are right now, last place. They have the
handhelds, which that new Gameboy Micro is lame...how many more versions
of this same damn thing are they going to release. Is this the answer to
the PSP, is that what it is supposed to be?
The biggest event of the year and they really showed up with nothing at
all. Almost looks like they brought out that version of the Revolution
just to not be totally embarrased after seeing that the others had what
they did to show off. They shouldn't have even bothered if they had
nothing more to offer or show IMO. All it did was make them look bad,
and they definitely didn't need that. So they showed Zelda and
Nintendogs, which is so lame and something that has already been done
before. Another version of the Gameboy...zzzzzzzzzz.
