GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Kriven]

Well that's why I always liked Nintendo. They didn't try to make stuff that was hip with the times, or force popular trends on preexisting characters.

You do that and people look back and groan at how embarrassing they were. Anyone remember "Yo Yogi"?

Give it time and that New 3DS ad will be pretty embarrassing too. Maybe not to us, since we're a different culture.

Disregarding the fact that Nintendo didn't force a fad into a preexisting character and instead created a brand new character who really is not out of place given her environment (a franchise which is built entirely on taking character tropes and personifying them to great degree).

Why are fads bad?
