Nintendo's Secret Weapon to get back the "core" gamers
BlindsideDork \| 8:52 AM on 06.19.2008	19 comments

It is no mystery that Nintendo is hitting the "casual" pretty hard with their recent console. But they have always said how that they haven't forgotten the core gamers that made them what they are today. With that said, Nintendo is releasing something that will appeal to them. The Nintendo Online Magazine.

No, not Nintendo Power but the Nintendo Online Magazine.

Get it? No? Still nothing? Maybe their sign they made will help it make sense...

...blown up for effect...

That's right NOM! NOM NOM NOM NOM! Nintendo is planning to hit the core market by attacking with lolcat terminology. Remember this kitty?

Or what about this classic...

These were no simple mistakes. They were planned marketing. Is it working? Are you won back?

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I thought this was going to be about F-Zero's new iteration. I'll continue moping somewhere far away from my Wii now.

NOM used to stand for Nintendo Official Magazine.

B-Radicate

Hmm. If it's not something I can actually play with my Wii, then how the fuck is it supposed to "win me back" when all I do now is play my 360? This is complete shit. Fuck Nintendo. Yeah, I said it. They lost me. For good.
