Of course. Nintendo is a corporation, no different from any other. Making games is only a means to an end; what they exist for is to make as much money as possible while spending as little as possible. Don't let anyone delude you into believing that Sony and Microsoft are any different. Nintendo does it by decreasing development costs, Sony does it through marketing screenshots, and Microsoft does it by harnessing the endocrine systems of adolescent males, but they all pull stuff like this.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
