Did Mudede sneak over to write that last graf? I realize there's no overt reference to a philosophic school, but still...

Legend of Zelda, the game that announced to the world what Nintendo was on earth to do.

I thought that was Super Mario Bros.

Since when did "toys and youth" and "crime and sex" become mutually exclusive?

Um. Seriously. This is strange. I think obsessing over women has been around for a lot longer, Charles. Now, step away from that controller ...

Are you sure Nintendo was founded in 1889?

Tool. Plain & simple. get therapy & go back to Junior High. Try not to flunk English this time, grow up and choose an occupation way, way far away from writing. Please. Thanks.

Were you the one tripping and foaming at the mouth about Teletubbies supposedly trying to teach children about gay activities a few years back, or are you really that paranoid about Japan, its culture and Nintendo? Maybe I read into this to hard and should just have a laugh. I think I'll laugh.
And watch Yakuza gangster cartoons with robot girls in bikinis toting machineguns. Beats American cartoons anyday.cept South Park.

Don't quite understand the negative reaction to the article - the last graf is trying a bit too hard, but yes, Nintendo was founded in 1889 (according to the packet of information about the company they sent when I signed up for Nintendo Power back in the day, a few issues before they stopped listing the top 10 NES games of the month), and part of my brand loyalty comes from the fact that they're such a weird-ass company.
