Nintendo does it right

I spent the better part of 2 days telling myself Nintendo is not evil. Then I see this and it's like all of a sudden, my faith that not all large corporations are out to end life for consumers is restored. They were protecting their IP and the children that largely follow that IP. They made a mistake. They apologized and extended a hand of good faith. Why is it that a company HQ'd in Japan is the one to do this? Maybe American companies could take note at how many people are commenting in that thread about how good this makes Nintendo look to people who probably aren't even fanboys...

I'd also like to point out the number of Mario and Zelda clones out there that Nintendo has no problem with. Go ahead, count them. Now count the number of clones of any game from Microsoft or Sony that haven't gotten a C&D letter. Yeah, I'm seeing a trend as well. Viva la Gamecube, baby.

I'll always have a special place in my heart for Nintendo. Matter of fact I just finished playing a game on my very old antique Gameboy :).
