Sky Render on 13 December 2008
This is not your father's Nintendo. When Iwata took over, everything changed. Even the release strategies. That said, Nintendo is using the same basic tactic now that they used in the early years of the NES: make games that people will buy as early as they can make them, then have them sell throughout the lifespan of the system. The holiday line-up for 2008 only looks sparse to somebody who has been buying games as soon as they come out. To the gamers who are just coming onto the scene, or ones who only keep a casual eye on what's coming out, pretty much every game released so far is fair game.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
