I'm going to agree with Hostile Creation. I really couldn't care less about online gaming. I don't care about where is the best place for nintendo to focus is. I don't want for nintendo to go to the typical and Cliche. All I see is that playstation is poo, x-box is good, but gamecube is best when it comes to fun when gaming. (This is a personal and completely selfish post so don't get defensive) X-box and playstation have few good games that are not available to me on a gamecube. Gamecube has lots and lots of great games that they are not releasing on other consoles. I can only see an upside when most of your friends have the great games like GTA and Halo but you have games like Viewtiful Joe, Metroid Prime, Animal Crossing, Starfox, Super Smash Bros., and the Amazing Zelda (i dont see how you people can diss Zelda). Anyway, in my own little mind, not looking at the economy, Nintendo deserves an A because it is the best.
