    New Zelda won't see Twilight until 2006

    I don't think Nintendo is trying to lose me as a loyal customer, but this is not making me a happy camper. Outside of Resident Evil 4, I can't see a decent new reason to own a GameCube since Metroid Prime 2. And the lack of good and enticing news on the new console is not making me feel warm and fuzzy either. I didn't buy a DS. Where once Nintendo likely took around $700 a year of my net income, this year, 2005, they have taken $0. $0! My video game playing in general has decreased, but this is not me, it is Nintendo. Zelda was to be the renewal, affirmation I made a good choice in the console wars (I picked them all of course, but GameCube was first).

    Many other fanboys and fangirls have waxed poetic on what is wrong with Nintendo and their strategies, but I think I might have to start voicing those thoughts in my head. Especially if PSP takes the Game Boy brand down a notch. It would just be another voice in the mix. Still, a late Zelda combined with drastically declining third party support spells bad news for the big N.
