Where did the news go? - 08-26-2008

Ah, August. The month of summer, holidays, no school, no cares. Leading into September, a chance for a fresh start at school and to get back with friends again. Some of you may love it, some of you may not, but there are all parts about these two months that we love or dislike.

One of the dislikes is that gaming companies seem to come to a halt over these months as they have just finished with E3, and like many of us, are planning the year ahead.

Because of this fact it's incredibly hard to find any news as Nintendo aren't really releasing anything.

This is just to let you know that while it looks like the news has come to a sudden halt, or at least an incredible slow, it's not because our news writers aren't working, it's because we literally can't find anything to write about.

Hopefully after the months are over and Nintendo get back to releasing some more information about new games and gadgets, we can start to give you the news again. But until that time comes, we are going to have to ask you to be patient and to bask in whatever news our News Team manage to scrape from the bottom of the barrel.

I'm sure the writers do that, and more. They have sites they visit that are constantly updated about news etc. They know what they are doing, there is just a dip in the amount of news lately.

They use professional Nintendo Sites that ONLY report news as a source.
Google isn't that reliable when it comes to news that is true.

EDIT: Rik is too fast for me (around 10 seconds faster) <_<

Why doesn't the team just search for different outlets, like Entertainment news, new movies, tv shows, albums. I knw this is a gaming site, but gaming is respectfully entertainment, and I'm sure the members watch movies and listen to music, and watch tv. Or the "tele" as you may call it Rick. :P

Haha, Coolza just proved a VERY good point.
Nintendo news is never scarce, you just need to look in the right places.
Thats a lot of news I've haven't seen here. Expect a bunch of articles on the homepage tommorrow because of Coolza! Although major news won't be published we'll get the occassional rumour to create hype.

News tip: Look at old articles for site's to be your sources.

I guess if things were really quite you could just report on the newest trailer for an upcoming game, or something like that. GC should have lots of stuff like that
