Uh... wow.
Anyway, I thought I'd chime in once more. Somebody did make the point that it's a blog post... which is fine, but it was linked at the very top of the site as one of it's major news articles. Kind of a blog in name only at that point, isn't it?
I would like to defend something though.
Although he may not have approached it in the best way with his first post (and maybe I didn't either), I really do agree with the sentiment that many media outlets, both for Nintendo and all systems, consistently ignore the company's best points in favor of constant cynicism over well... everything.
Nintendo is absolutely not perfect yes, and absolutely not above criticism. That's undeniable. But I feel like the pervasive media attitude for Nintendo these days is one of absolute hostility.
It's very difficult for Nintendo fans to find a place to read up on the company without being hit by a blast of overdone negativity... about everything. And I don't feel that's warranted at all.
