I will never understand all the backlash against malstrom. It seems like people argue against him just for the sake of arguing against him. I have seen very few good arguments going against malstrom.. Just the usual "blah blah blah he's an arrogant retro gamer or nintendo fanboy or nobody analyst."

I mean sure I don't agree with the guy 100%, and he can take certain things too far, but he is by far the most intelligent gaming "analyst" out there if you want to call him that. Hell he's possibly the most intelligent gaming journalist out there, at least that I've come across.

I think the backlash is a reaction to the OP and others saying what a genius this guy is, and you just said "he is by far the most intelligent gaming "analyst" ... theres certainly no proof in that post of his! He is just ranting and speculating, igoring facts and picking whatever suits the point of his article. Dude, he might as well be masterbating about Nintendo! :p

I mean he can write and we can all have fun reading and discuss it, but please, stop gushing about him, hes no genius and its insulting to say that he is, unless he is 5 years old, then yeah, we should all bow before him.


How many analysts saw Wii winning back in 2006 as well as changing the gaming landscape? Because he did.

The Wii has new Excitebike, new Punch-Out!, new 2-D Mario, new 2-D Final Fantasy, new 2-D Mega Man, new Boy and His Blob, and uses the same controller as the NES.

With the amount of people who believe Malstrom doesn't like level editors on this site I'm about to just say that maybe I misunderstand Malstrom when he says "I have nothing against level editors reader it's the lack of content that I'm..."

Lol I should do a graph on this maybe people would get that Malstrom has NOTHING AGAINST LEVEL EDITORS.

He does however have something against GAMES THAT ARE SOLD TO THE USER TO MAKE CONTENT.

There is nothing suddle or sublime there so if someone under me (and they will) actually posts something about Malstrom hating level editors I will take the time and email the guy for a quick response with two questions.

1. Do you like level editors?

2. Do you dislike level editors?

I will post back his response here if he does respond.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

PS3 has new eye toy, new rachet, new killzone, new gran turismo next year, and uses the same controller as the PS2. I'm not actually saying the PS3 is gonna win by the way. I'm just saying this guys reasoning for the Wii being first is stupid.

Wii is much closer to the NES in terms of software than PS3 is to PS2 Killzone, GT, Ratchet didn't make PS2 the victor last gen, controllers and hardware don't win gens, Software libraries with wide appeal wins gens

And none of the above games are making the Wii the victor. That is the Wii series.
