I'm sorry, but this announcement was the final straw, a part of a larger story concerning the 3DS which I simply find disgusting as a games consumer.

So the last few years Nintendo has been having a blast, moving to the very outer edge of the periphery of video games, making fitness programs and sports minigame compilations with terrible motion controls. And the media has worked very, very hard to make damn sure we all know just how much money they were making doing it.

But now that they've committed to a system they (most likely) have to sell at a loss, they can't rely on a demographic that will only buy 1-3 games per lifecycle. They need all of us, who buy many video games a year, to come back to them and give them money, so they go out and find out what kind of things we like and now want to create this vacuum where all this great content is going to one place.

I love Mega Man Legends. And MML2. They're two of my favorite games from the Playstation, a big part of my child hood. It sickens me to see it a big part of Nintendo's marketing scheme because they've switched their business model and suddenly give a about us.

ANOTHER thing that really sucks is that the long awaited sequel in the Mega Man Legends universe is finally coming.... to a handheld. Games like MML were made to be played on a TV, much like Metal Gear Solid 3 (ohohooo).

Speaking of Metal Gear Solid 3, I already have that game. I have it with Dolby Digital Surround Sound. I have it with four trigger buttons. Two analog sticks. Pressure sensitivity with the buttons! I'd rather have Kojima-san making Metal Gear Solid 6, or better yet, inventing a new genre, instead of creating a 3D remake with inferior gameplay, graphics, and sound.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time ever Kojima has gone back and done a remake instead of creating a new game.

By the way, Nintendo are touting how the machine is so powerful that they can get real ports of console games, using SSFIV as an example... is that going to work both ways? Are we going to get the new Driver game and MML3 on the 360 & PS3? What about MGS3D, since PS3 natively does 3D and developers like Crytek are pulling it off on the 360 anyway?

I know this is just a system making a lot of games I want to play but I've been so over Nintendo for the last few years, especially recently with releasing a mediocre Metroid game (which the media shoved down our throats as awesome at E3 '09), asking people to send in save files to be corrected by Nintendo, and what they're handling the whole Goldeneye situation.
