The best game on the Nintendo console wasn't even made by Nintendo. What does that tell you? Out of my top 10 GC games only 3 or so are actually Nintendo games (4 if you count Metroid).

Yeah Nintendo screw up marketing but their new "short but sweet" attitude in full illsutration by the DS, is grating somewhat.

Yeah, that kind of happens when I'm spending hundreds of pounds on something.

What games have Ninty actually made themselves recently?
Mario Party: Lameophone Edition?

The Battle Stages are a joke. Whoever thought up having a Gamecube as one of the stages deserves shooting.

But it sells games. Keeps third parties on board and stops us moaning about it.

You do demand an awful lot.

Still playing it with my friends to the day. Earlier in fact. I won but just about.

Quality game. Utter quality.

If it was called Super Resident Mario 4 then yeah, sure Nintendo can take the credit. If they're gonna loan out their main character and put him in rubbish games then I blame them.
