It's awfully quiet here... That's because most of the action is over at the LITHCast Forums. Why not head on over?

Is Kirby Dead?

Okay, before I get a barrage of people telling me that I am a terrible person for saying this, let me just say that I am not passing any of my conclusions below as fact and that I am not saying that I want any of the claims below to actually come to fruition. With that said,

A Slew of My Nintendo-related Positions


I get asked a lot of the same questions all the time on either the podcast or on the forums. I have no problems reiterating my positions on things, but I was recently emailed by a student of journalism who asked me several questions about Nintendo-related topics and I took the time to provide very wordy answers to his questions. I figured that I would publish them here so that you guys can know where I stand as well the fact that I feel it is good to have a written record of where you stand on various things.

Here were his questions:

On the subject of E3 2008
- How did you initially view Nintendo's press conference?
- Should/could Nintendo have done things differently, specifically to please the core gamers, or does their new view of E3 make sense?
- Three months on, how do you look back on the conference and some of Nintendo's more recent announcements?
- How do you think Sony and Microsoft performed in contrast to Nintendo?
- Is the end nigh for E3?

On the subject of the DSi
- How would you rate Nintendo's decision to add MP3 and camera capabilities to the system?
- Should they have looked at alternative ways, if any, of improving the platform?
- Would you suggest these additions are designed specifically with the gamer in mind or as an attempt to compete with media-enabled handhelds like the PSP and iPhone/iPod?

The inevtiable Casual vs Core debate
- Where do you stand on this issue?
