Nintendo: chips, slumps, SNES comeback?

Well this was unexpected. A few days back, if you looked at Amazon's best sellers, you'd note that not only was the PS3 doing poorly, but it was getting spanked by the SNES?!? Man, Nintendo still has a yen-printing machine this many years out? Yikes.

In other news, yet ANOTHER Wii modchip is on the way, Reggie has dropped a huge hint suggesting in addition to Wii Virtual Console nostalgia, that classic backissues of Nintendo Power may be available as a Wii Channel!

On a heavier note, CVG does a fantastic job of asking the question I've been asking myself after my eyeballs go dry from 4-hour stints of playing Zelda on my Wii (40 hours in and still not finished!): is the novelty of the Wii wearing thin? And more importantly.... WHERE ARE THE GAMES? After I beat Zelda, I'm going to finish Wario and Elebits in about 3 hours each, and then what? Call of Duty? Done. Red Steel? Almost as crappy as Farcry. So.... um, Nintendo? Games please?

Sadness isn't coming out until about the fourth quarter of 2007. Cooking Mama'll be out soon. Also they are releasing Ocarina of Time for the Virtual Console, so between that and Twilight Princess (10 hours so far) I think I'll be set until Sadness.

If you go to Nibris' site (the developer of Sadness) looking for information on said game, a prompt comes up asking you "Are you at least 21 years old and don't suffer from a heart condition or a nervous disposition." They also advertise that the game will have "a mood which will not leave you until the very end of the game." Go to their site, it's freaky as hell, I'm going to have nightmares now.

were those videos working when you went there? both came up as 404s when i tried to take a look. you can still color me intrigued, though. (...with an undertone of hype-wariness... but intrigued nonetheless)

Hey there. Thanks for the link. Also, the pixelart background is just too sweet.
