Mario and Zelda on PS2 as strange as that sounds their could be more truth in it than you think.
Nintendo have been told by some heavyweight financial advisers that they should develop software for other platforms or face financial ruin.
It would appear that the poor GC sales are starting to bite with developers getting increasingly worried about the GC continued poor performance and the lack of software sold because of this.
Producing for Xbox and inparticular PS2 would add a much bigger user base up instead of the limited one they have now makes sense to me. If Nintendo was able to make more money from software they might be able to produce more quality titles rather than the tripe they do at the moment, hell it might even help Nintendo to sell more GC.

What are they then big shot? This should be a laugh.

If it goes above and beyond your comprehension of the language, then I guess you're just unlucky, "innit".

The title should have really read

What the..? Nintendo are the most original and innovative company I've ever experienced, who cares if they do a sequel? There are plenty of new franchises starting up - Pikmin, Doshin The Giant, Animal Crossing, Eternal Darkness and more. Plus, I don't see you complaining about Metal Gear Solid 2, Final Fantasy X, Jak & Daxter 2, Pro Evo 2 and all the other sequels on the Playstation 2. You're clutching at straws.

Fact? Top Score, the fact is, every single word of that was complete and utter tripe you've just made up to justify your dead and hated fanboy comments. Try and see the truth.

Then you're obviously very ignorant. Why can't you just play games for fun? I do - I own a PS2, GameCube, GBA and PC. I don't care who's going to fail, what other people think and which one I want to 'follow'. Games are there for entertainment - not some kind of sick religion.
