The controversy over Nintendo's new console spread to the paper today, with Aleks arguing that hardcore gamers shouldn't feel betrayed. Nintendo will still be renewing its classic franchises - is there any other company that manages to do this with as little gamer backlash as Nintendo? - and will still have titles that appeal to the older fan. I still think it's an awful name, mind.
Elsewhere the reviews are in this week, with Football Manager Handheld and FIFA World Cup both doing enough to warrant a trial. Perhaps more interesting is Dreamfall, a sequel to the last decent point and clicker, Longest Journey. I'm hoping Dreamfall is rather better than Rhianna makes it sound. I still think point and click games can work, but then I only threw out my ancient Monkey Island t-shirt last year.
