Wii meet again

Nintendo will still be renewing its classic franchises - is there any other company that manages to do this with as little gamer backlash as Nintendo? - and will still have titles that appeal to the older fan. I still think it's an awful name, mind.
  
  


The controversy over Nintendo's new console spread to the paper today, with Aleks arguing that hardcore gamers shouldn't feel betrayed. Nintendo will still be renewing its classic franchises - is there any other company that manages to do this with as little gamer backlash as Nintendo? - and will still have titles that appeal to the older fan. I still think it's an awful name, mind.

Elsewhere the reviews are in this week, with Football Manager Handheld and FIFA World Cup both doing enough to warrant a trial. Perhaps more interesting is Dreamfall, a sequel to the last decent point and clicker, Longest Journey. I'm hoping Dreamfall is rather better than Rhianna makes it sound. I still think point and click games can work, but then I only threw out my ancient Monkey Island t-shirt last year.
