Ok so it's been a while.

Life speeds up when you hit a certain age I am noticing. It has its ups and downs indeed, but I think its good in the end. On the gaming front I am now the proud owner of a DS. Enjoying the New Super Mario Brothers and Final Fantasy III. I swear the FF series dictates what systems I buy.

That being said I truely believe Nintendo has done everything right to attract the "fun" in gaming all over again. They have re-captured all the people who used to play the original Super Mario. The older audience, the and the younger audience combined. The NES was a family system, made for all ages. The Wii is identical, and its 100% fun. Its the rebirth of a whole new breed of gamers. Maybe we will see a new Zelda, or a new Final Fantasy series spawn out of all this. Something new that players will latch on to for 15- 20 years. It all has to start somewhere.
