I have been playing video games for many years now. I have been hooked on them ever since the first time I played COMBAT on the Atari 2600. I have followed the video game industry for several years now and find much pleasure in seeing it flourish.

When I am not playing games I study for my classes in hope of attaining a degree in Criminal Justice. I enjoy running, watching movies, reading, and beating up Square fanboys.

My advice to Nintendo is to not be arrogant. Nintendo should quit acting like online games are the devil and get online with their systems. I also believe that Nintendo Power could be utilized better than it is. Nintendo should transform it from the strategy guide sampler that it is into something with substance (exclusive news, a worthwhile review section).

On the positive side…keep pumping out those classic games.
