Comments
I think the big (N) did good for 06, but can the forgotten king continue to bring the sales & games. I for one don’t want the same mistake the cube did, i know nintendo said it’s not going to be. If the games keep coming like hotcakes and i mean 3rd parties and not just 1 parties like the cube then it will be a site to see.
What do you think gameon & gamers?????.
I think that 2007 will be a pivotal year for Nintendo. They truly have some HUGE titles coming out this year and everyone wants a Wii.
They’re baaaaaaaaaaaack!
