So to you success equals legitimacy? Have you ever played Angry Birds? I have. It's boring. Since Angry Birds is the most popular phone game I feel as though they're in a way spearheading this whole trend to mobile gaming which I personally detest. The more popular these games become, the more influence they're having on the videogame industry as a whole. So my main point remains: cellphones are calling devices first and foremost and their ability to play games is secondary. Rovio is an upstart company that has the gall to insult Nintendo with nothing but this 1-hit wonder to back them up. So why are you so quick to defend them?
People forget what a phone is supposed to be - a device to call people with!People play games on their phones out of boredom and convenience, not because they are legitimate gaming platforms. This mobile "gaming" fad is an abomination to true game developers and I pray that it will die out . Oh and while I'm on the topic, a big F-U to the developer of Angry Birds!
Interesting how the Wii's backstory unfolded like the PSX's back in the day, when Nintendo rejected Sony's plans for a CD add-on to the SNES which would eventually become the first PSX. Food for thought in all of this.
I used to get NP back in mid-90's throughout the N64 era..I used to love reading the Pak Watch section for the previews and such. I remember they sent VHS tapes a few times with footage of upcoming games...good memories.
No one's mentioned the awesome TANK TANK TANK!? This game was a blast in arcades, I'm so glad they're porting it to the WiiU...anyone who has never played it, I suggest you check it out!
Yes Rare's demise is sad indeed. From what I understand, much of Rare's old talent left to form Free Radical Design in '02 and would go on to make the Timesplitters games which were like the spiritual successors to Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. I'm thankful they gave us games like Battletoads, DKC, Goldeneye, etc. back in their heyday. Old Rare will always be amongst the greatest of game developers.

Used to play the exact same way! Nothing better than a pistols only, LtK shootout in the complex. I wish MY friends still played...
Re: Nintendo Feels That Working On Smartphones And Tablets Would "Decrease Brand Value"
@Caryslan I didn't mean to be crude but my ire is well placed. Read this.
