Recently there’s been rumours going around about Nintendo revealing something about the successor to Wii at E3 2011… which isn’t that far away now.

It’s always fun to speculate stuff and I thought I’d start a discussion regarding what you think Nintendo will do with their next generation console, what you think they should do and what you think they should avoid doing. I know there are heavily divided opinions of Wii so I think this’ll end up being quite interesting…

At first, I was pretty bummed out about the Australian launch line-up for the 3DS, however I did get one game that I think has made getting a 3DS at launch worth it…

I’m not really a big fan of the Tom Clancy series of games released by Ubisoft, and to be honest this is the first Ghost Recon game I’ve ever played. That said, I do realise that Shadow Wars (with “3D” attached to the end for the Australian release for some reason…) isn’t like other Ghost Recon games. Instead, it is a tactical role-playing game more along the lines of Nintendo’s Advance Wars or Fire Emblem… which is great for me since I’m a pretty big fan of both of those series.

So the ongoing “discussion” as to whether Australia needs an R18+ rating continues… and I’m starting to realise I’m growing very bored with this entire thing and am starting to realise how pointless it actually is.

Of course, I’m not saying this in a “woe is me, for the government will never acknowledge that gamers are adults” kind of way… I’ve actually come to the realisation of the obvious. We’re not getting an R18+ rating down here because we really don’t NEED it to begin with… though not for the reasons the people who oppose the rating for video games in this country would have you believe.
