Nintendo began this year's E3 similarly to their opening act of E3 2006. While Reggie Fils Aime's "Kick ass and take names" statement has become somewhat iconic in our industry, Nintendo of America's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Cammie Dunaway, had a more conservative approach, which is less likely to resonate within the minds of the hardcore gamer. It's long been thought – and especially noted by Electronic Theatre – that in order to grab the mass market appeal that films and music take for granted, the videogame's industry needs celebrities. With Shigeru Miyamoto being the most reclusive of developers, and Satoru Iwata having seen little appreciation outside of Japan, it's left to the money men at Nintendo to stand-up and be counted.

Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.
The Animal Crossing games hold a special place in our hearts. They're not free from our judgment, however. Let's rank them all!
