Wow. Nintendo's really up there with the big boys now, for the first time since the mid-1990s.
Also, nice to see Atlus USA get some of the recognition it so duly deserves. With so many publishers doing slapdash localizations of Japanese games, Atlus actually hires talented voice actors and translators. Hell, I'd go so far as to say that their localizations are better than the much bigger companies (Square-Enix and Namco-Bandai, I'm looking at you.)
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
