Could that canned GC game be Too Human? Hmm..
But yeah, it is depressing. The next generation is Nintendo's last hope. They've made some great strides with the Gamecube from the Nintendo 64, but they need to make even greater changes with their next system. Most importantly it must be released at or around the same time as Sony and MS's new consoles. Their storage medium has to match or beat Sony and MS's (that includes having a HDD), so no more crappy ports because of insufficient disc space. They have to have plenty of great games come out on a regular basis (the first half of 2002 was torture for Gamecube owners), they have to improve their marketing ten-fold, and they have to try to shake off that "kiddy" image. It's quite a task, but I hope for the best.
