I remember those times :D. Ah, it was good, then The Wizard came out. At that moment, all things changed. I knew of a game that wasn't out yet, but that I still wanted, SMB3. It came, I played, I had a blast, and then on the news, I heard of "Super Mario Bros 4" or Super Mario World to us now on a new "Super Nintendo". Then for the first time, a new system was coming out, and when it did, I made a horrible mistake in giving my NES to my siblings. It was screaming "no, I can still make you happy, to the extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme"... Anyway, I got a new one and got most of my games back from them, so it's all good.
Anyway, the main reason we are upset is because Nintendo is falling into a state of "no risks". They read the manager's sacred book and the most holy of commandments within "If all else fails, say "no", because if it fails, and remember, it always could, it will be YOUR butt!" The book didn't have the best grammpr... Online is vastly important to us, and to them it seems.
Oh, and most companies always are planning for the future. I'm sure the GCN was being planned soon after the N64 was out, though it was only a plan at the time. The fact that they have a team currently developing the new system doesn't mean that the other teams working on GCN games will be any less skillful. However, I think I'll stay out from discussing anything else they should do in the future. That's quite some time from now, and we are just now settled into the current generation of consoles. I want to revel in this generation with no concept of the future for a while.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
