Nobody rike Rink on boat. I giev dem Rink on TRAIN! It sell mirrions!

I actually thought this was a joke thread, or you were exaggerating somehow; imagine my surprise when I find out the game is exactly as you describe it! That just goes to show how ridiculous this idea is.

Nintendo IS a pretty ridiculous company nowadays
Rock Wall climbing simulator... fascinating.

I think they are talking about the new Zelda to DS, where it seems like you travel around with a train (intead of a boat like in Wind Waker). The game was just announced at GDC.
And "Rink" = Link I guess.

I'd guessed it was about Zelda, I saw through the Engrish ;-) It just seemed that it was a specific article that brought it on.

Nintendo officially falls under the stupidity category.

Zelda will sell!
Anyway, whats wrong with it? I mean, there dosent seam to be enough to talk bad about it yet.

And why would that be?
They may not cater to "hardcore" gamers as much anymore, but they have made the most profits out of their system by giving the general public what they wanted.
They're not business stupid, that's for sure.

There's a reason why there's more shovelware on the Wii/DS than on other consoles.

More shit for the shit console?

Precisely.

LOL wow. Zelda on a train. Talk about fucking up a classic series. They may as well rerelease the cd-i series at this point.

And that is perfectly correct.
The point would be to... not buy the shovelware. Sadly the casual gamers don't have a shovelware radar and keep supporting companies that produce crappy games.
If only there was someway to install a shovelradar into casual gamers...

it's for the DS, you can forget about it.
