Do Nintendo have to put the boot in?

Playable titles at the showcase, which was held at the very Zen Energy Clinic, included Wii Fit, Sight Training, Big Brain Academy and Face Training. They all appeared to prove popular with attendees. Indeed, we've enjoyed giving our eyes a daily DS workout with the free copy of Sight Training that was handed out at the event.

And as you can see from the image below, Nintendo is pushing its mainstream focused and Touch! Generations titles pretty much as the antithesis to the 'stereotypes' picture on the previous page.

Nintendo UK boss David Yarnton did promise that the N wasn't about to forget its loyal fanbase, however. "It's important to know that we're not ignoring the hardcore gamer. They're still very important to us and this Christmas alone we have all their needs catered for with Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy. And on DS there's The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass."

So, despite its continued push to capture the elusive hysterical mid-life ladies in the kitchen market, Nintendo does still have something for everyone. Even long-haired, time-wasting isolated saddos like us.

I don't have the energy to really hate anything properly. Most things I think are OK or inoffensively average. I do love quite a lot of stuff as well, though.
