Topic: Are we Nintendo fanboys for life?

Funny thing is, the Blockbuster near my home took a little while to switch to DVDs, the smaller rental store nearby did well then.

But I guess when the Blockbuster DID get DVDs, the smaller rental store only had its XXX movies as a draw.  After it was replaced by another rental store, it's now a day care.

I hate how Blockbuster has usually been pretty good for my game-playing needs, but wouldn't get Mario Superstar Baseball even after a long talk with the manager about it, and they don't have Chibi-Robo or Odama.  Yet they'll get, like, a dozen copies of Gun and a row-ful of Ribbit King.  They clearly don't hate Nintendo when they get a bunch of every Mario Party...I dunno what their problem is lately...

I think Blockbuster killed a major local chain of videostores here simply through being a marketing juggernaut.  It was a shame, too, since the local chain had locations all over town, and you could return a video to any of them, so you were always near one when you felt like renting a movie.  They may have been overextended with so many locations, so a single Blockbuster moving into the area did a lot of damage.

I'll definitely be a Nintendo fan for life.  It would be long and boring to describe my gaming past, so suffice it to say that my video game love goes back to early childhood with a 2600 (before Nintendo captured my imagination with an arcade Super Mario Bros. machine), so I doubt I'll ever give them up.  As long as there is a Nintendo making games, I will be playing them.
