I second this suggestion. How about a RSS feed?

TalkBack / RE:Editorial: Free NOA!

Hi guys, first time poster, long time reader.
I was thinking along these same lines last week as well. I was in Vegas last week for business related obligations during CES. Since this was my first CES, I thought I'd take the opportunity to go see what Nintendo has going on at their booth. I figured they'd have some exibit or some booth somewhere in the massive show. I look at the Map of exibitors and Nintendo has a location outdoors, in the Central Plaza area. I walk around and cannot find it. I ask at some information area and they direct me to a Van parked outside. A Friggin Van with noone in sight! Granted, it was a Van adorned with Nintendo logos, but still, it was quite lame. Microsoft has its own booth with a small, but visable, X-Box presense - Plus it was in evidence at the Pre-CES Keynote. Sony had a closed door PSP session (though none too impressive). Nintendo has nothing.
I mean they just launched a new handheld, have tons of games to showcase, and they don't have a booth. Come on. With so many Mom and Pop Manufacturers and Distributors having a presence at THE consumer electronics show, I find it unexcusable for a Giant like Nintendo to not even have a presence. I took my DS there, hoping to finally use its multiplayer functionality. What better place to showcase these capabilities? In between Appointments and Meetings, I'd pull my DS out and kill some time with Mario or Metroid. You would not believe the amount of people who'd come up to me and say something along the lines of: "Oh, is that the new Gameboy, I've heard so much about it!" or "Wow, Is that the touchscreen handheld that just came out? My son was wanting one so bad". And then I inform and educate them about how cool the DS and in turn Nintendo is.
I mean, hell, how hard would a booth be? Is this just Arrogance on Nintendo's part to think that they have no need for a booth? I know E3 is around the proverbial corner, but still!
