Hasn't Nintendo Power folded? If so, then there are no Nintendo-specific magazines anymore.

Cause stock holders sound like they want to hear it?

At this point in time, however, games look pretty for the sake of looking pretty. They don't make a statement. They don't fit the style and mood of the game. I don't think a masterpiece like FF6 could be created at this point in time, given the current standards of the industry. There are far to many distractions. Costs are far too high.

And thats where Nintendo stepped in, unfortunately its also hard to see, because they implemented a remote and a touchscreen not because they think games are art (and I believe they have already stated that) but because they want to reach as much people as possible because they like money.

I wonder how much he knew about the remote before the split, that would had also clouded his judgement.

In the end, power means nothing.
Lesson #1: If you're trying to reach out to a new audience it's not a very smart thing to insult them.
Bet that was Mark Rein. Le sigh...
So, if I were to buy the game now, it would be the "patched" version?
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (and the ones for TV and radio) also require companies to pay to be members (and receive services).
Other similar organizations like the Screen Actors Guild/Writers Guild/Directors Guild/etc. also require membership dues.
