Man oh man oh man... and I thought console industry people were already notorious for overhyping and then somehow trying to keep a smile on their faces while admitting they came up short.

Tendo Box (two words) takes a look back at da Y2K.

You might think that we were too lazy to do any sort of holiday special of our own at the Planet, though I think the reason we didn't have one is because I didn't LET our staff celebrate the holidays. Luckily, our pals at Tendo Box have come to the rescue with a nice look back at Nintendo in the year... Read more...
