"IMO if you dont agree with this editorial, then you never liked the N64 for what it was when it was in its prime. That was Nintendo."

More passing off opinion as fact. For many of us, the late NES to mid SNES was their prime, and that's what some of these Wii games are recapturing. Don't you tell us we aren't true fans because you have a different favorite era.

I was just saying that the N64 (in its prime) encapsulated Nintendo. Not that the N64 represented Nintendo in its prime

I guess thats a little confusing.

It's still not a good ecapsulation. Just a handful of games that weren't enough to put the system on top (however awesome those games were) is what the prime of the N64 was. How can you think that's a good representation of Nintendo's prime?

It's basically saying you want Nintendo to just please those who agree with the gaming critics, and follow the same train wreck that the other gaming companies are doing.
