An Open Letter to Nintendo

Dear Nintendo,

I have been a Nintendo gamer since the dawn of my life. One of my earliest memories is sitting on the floor, struggling to beat the last level of world 1-4 in Super Mario Bros. before rushing to dinner. I've every generation of gameboy including Pocket, Color, Advance, and Advance SP, and I am currently an owner of a DS. I also own a Nintendo Wii.

In the 90s, the Super Nintendo was my life. It stole countless hours from me and made me a unsociable geek. I regret nothing of those days. I played the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube, and I remained loyal throughout those troubled days as you battled against the PS2 and Xbox.

Nowadays, the games I await most anxiously are nothing more than sequels or remakes. Chrono Trigger DS, Final Fantasy 4 DS, Metroid Prime 3, Animal Crossing Wild World and so many others are simply remakes or continuations of other franchises which you have nurtured for many years. A vast number of the wii games seem like nothing more than silly gimmicks or excuses to play around with motion controls.

I feel as though the magic of Nintendo is beginning to fade away, and I don't want to live in a world where Nintendo is not a godlike force. Nintendo, you invented the P-Switch in Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES. This switch turned blocks into coins, which is exactly what the wii has done for countless 3rd party games. But I fear that the ticking has begun, and unless another switch is found, these coins will soon again turn back into useless bricks.

On behalf of myself and many other gamers everywhere, I would simply like to request that you make an original and non-gimmicky fun game to rekindle my love of your systems and company.

With love,
Lord Setheris
