It went a little somethin liek this:
QuoteI was once an avid Nintendo Power reader, and I haven't read an issue since before you guys took over the magazine. It's not that I don't like your mags (I have a sub to OPM)- it's just I don't like what Nintendo's got out on the market as much. I still play my DS a lot- the problem there is Nintendo's focused on almost nothing but the Wii, leaving the DS to become the next GBA, filled with tripe like High School Musical and these "imagine" games ("imagine figure skater", etc.).
But that's not the point. Ever since Nintendo passed the baton, their forums have laid dead in the ground for nearly a year now. Nintendo was once a company that listened to what its fans had to say- the forum (albeit having its fair share of spammers) was a way for them to do that. And now that the forums are gone, it seems more than ever that Nintendo has closed themselves off to print money with their DS and Wii and nothing more.
Now, I'm not saying your magazine isn't about Nintendo. It's the only one to talk about Nintendo for 90-100 pages, which I consider a feat.
But Nintendo themselves has little part in it, as far as I'm concerned- and I'm starting to lose faith in what Nintendo's championed for so long.
Their customer service.
I'm just going to ask you now:
Does Future US, Inc. have any plans to create or open a new NSider Forums?

I like the way KG put it:
QuoteNot only did you step on their magazine, walk over it, and pour gasoline on their hard work and burn it, but you also shot Nintendo in the face for closing out the rest of the world from making games. Way to go!!
So, discuss
"Nintendo was once a company that listened to what its fans had to say"
No.

Yeah, Nintendo never truly listened. Otherwise, great letter.

Everyone tells white lies every once in a while. ;)

That's about as likely appearing in Nintendo Power as my letter to Nickelodeon is appearing in Nick Mag.
Future? :(
Their British forums aren't even that good. :(
You nailed our problems right on!.........

Like I said before, they basically are ignoring the people that kept the company alive outside Japan for over a decade.

No. We're not being ignored. If we are, then why is Nintendo still making Mario, Zelda, and other such games? Why do they still have Retro make Metroid? Pokemon?

Money.
The only reason Nintendo is keeping those things is because they rake in the cash.

You just said the complete opposite of your other post.
Considering in like, the 2nd issue after the forums closed, the editor said "no more letters about the forums will be published"...

No I didn't. My first post said that Nintendo is still making games for the people outside of Japan. My second post said companies make stuff for money. How does that contradict? Nintendo making games people outside of Japan like makes them money.
