Nintendo Unveils Casual Gamer Brand

The Guardian Gamesblog discusses the newly announced Touch Generation of games for Nintendo's consoles. From the article: "This is, of course, a pointless piece of product re-positioning, symptomatic of modern business's obsession with branding above and beyond the call of sense. More importantly though, it's about Nintendo reveling in its E3 success. It is about a company that has effectively spent the last decade in its own self-made ghetto, turning to the industry and saying, 'I told you so' ... The wider world is coming back to videogames - and Nintendo is speaking its language. Anyway, the first three new releases in the Touch Generations line-up will be Big Brain Academy, the second title in the brain-training series, Magnetica, a marble-based puzzler, and Sudoku Gridmaster, a Sodoku game with over 400 puzzles. They're out this summer."

You're desperate about a few more "lines" ?

Who the HELL are you talking to when you're playing?
I have ample time to finish whatever is needed, or just turn the damn console off whenever I leave my train/bus/whatever. I rarely use the sleep mode, but pausing/closing the DS doesn't "kill your groove". If you think it does, you take your toys way too seriously, dude :(
