Forcing handheld gamers to buy two copies of basically the same game if they want to "catch them all", Oh, and forcing developers to pay up front for cartridges and publishing rights on the NES and SNES and then possibly shutting them down by not providing the "seal of approval" or giving them poor reviews in their own magazine (which was by far the greatest source for game reviews at the time). This isn't a tough choice for me. Yes, the other two have long shit lists as well, and in various categories and market, but in the gaming circles, there can be only one. |
You knocked it out of the park with this post.
