We all know that Nintendo are more revolution than evolution- they game us shoulder buttons, truely 3D gameplay, and original concepts.
But where is there next revolution going to come from?
It's no secret that Nintendo have given some of their franchises away- Metroid, Starfox and Smash Bros being a few examples. Initially I thought that this would lead Nintendo to put all their efforts into huge epic games like Zelda and Mario... instead the opposite seems to have happened....
Shigsy has announced his short and sweet policy. Although there's nothing wrong with this, and I'm sure it'll get more gamers onto the GC bandwagon, it would appear that there is less scope for him to release truely revolutionary titles. Zelda OOT took over 3 years to make, and now Shigsy is talking about completing a new game every 6 months?
So, what do you think of Nintendo's policy? I would rather have Ninty's second parties making almost all their franchises, with Nintendo just concentrating on a couple of killer titles- something that would have been superb had they pulled out one revolutionary GC launch title.

The trouble with Nintendo is that you never know what's coming next.
It seems that they're really trying to promote the GBA Gamecube link-up, trying to sell the idea to other developers, but we've yet to see how they will really make the most of it yet.
