Great overview and balanced look back and forward.

One quibble, though:

"two men who have been following recent events intently, and Nintendo as a whole for most of its existence"

Really? These reporters have been around since 1889?

It'd be nice if the disc-based games recognize my saved data from their WiiWare counterparts.

Looks less like Centipede than Smash TV.

I download and store all Wii demos. On a 4 GB SD card, it's trivial.

This sure brings back memories -- the facial models look just like the N64 version.

I have an Apple IIGS in my cubicle at work. I still play BattleChess during my lunch break.

Looks like it was a copyright violation, after all -- this YouTube account has been closed.

I would name my ship the Spoony Bard.

Your Tronix link is broken. :-(

I hope this game has more goals than Endless Ocean and is more like Everblue 2.
