It’s been quite a day for Nintendo, no? I mean, we get the Wii price, release date, Wii Channel screens and demos, and a launch list the size of which we haven’t seen for a Nintendo console in recent memory. And yet, I’m still kind of pissed off ”“ but not about what you’d think. I’m ticked off at the response of the “gamer population” as a whole. The Internet is a g...

Back in the day it used to be cool if you imported a game or system from Japan because you’d always get it a few weeks, or sometimes even a few months before your stateside buddies.
