Malstrom ain't no Nintendo fan, that single fact made a lot of Nintendo fans angry, when they realized he doesn't belong to their church.
Personally, haven't read Malstrom for a long time for the simple reason, he said everything he could.
But he was very useful for me at the time, way better than a dozen of 'gaming journalists'. I just don't have a habbit to treat whoever writes smth I consider noteworthy as oracles or prophets. Though it's true, his track record is good :D
