Well, here is a place where devoted Nintendo fans can concisely voice their views on what Nintnedo should do - realisticly of course, to improve sales, market profile (i.e in FHM, Mace Griffin is not on Cube, and there are no Cube ads, despite an excellent GBA SP one, and it says 'the millions they have lost on Gamecube' about Ninty) and most importantly dispel the ridiculous anti GC attitude.

I mean, Game Boy has a great name, but both the N64 and now the Cube (to a lesser but still worrying amount) are seen as rubbish.

Outline your proposals here. Petition anyone? Meh.....

Stop fannying about with stupid anti-importing crap and actually release the games we want over here.

More advertising.

Sort the release dates out.

To be honest, with the current climate in the video games world, with people wanting style over substance, I can't really see Nintendo's position improving. It's all about the name, and sadly, Nintendo's name just doesn't carry the credence it used to.

I know and you know that Nintendo makes the very finest video games money can buy, games that have amazing playability and whimsical charm, but that's not what ordinary Joe consumer on the street wants anymore. We know what they want; Playstation with it's superficial style of games. But they sell by the bucket load.

At the end of the day, Nintendo could release more amazing games in their own style, more great consoles and innovate 'till they're blue in the face, but if they don't appeal to the 'tards then they won't sell. Fact.

Nintendo could change their style. They could make more adult themed games, but frankly that would annoy me. Nintendo have their style and I wouldn't want them to resort to cheap tactcis to sell games that appeal to mongs wanting blood and guns.

Nintendo need to realise that Europe isn't filled with Japanese people.

Online gaming is far better than I thought it would be.

No doubt about it, Nintendo will implememnt it, but only when they are really ready.
