This week's Community Challenge is about Nintendo. It's been a hot topic here around the GameSpot offices. As you can see we've written about it, talked about it, heck it was even a discussion point on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show. So today we're here to ask your opinion, should Nintendo move away from hardware? Should they open up their games to other platforms? Or are they perfect just the way they are? If you need some help coming up with ideas there are awesome conversations in the Nintendo forum. The community team has kicked off this challenge with their own blogs, so check out what ohaifrancy and digitaldame had to say. Agree or disagree, we want to hear what you have to say.
Once you have completed the challenge leave a link to your blog in the comment section below (leave us suggestions for future challenge to.) The community team will pick their favorites and feature them in Tuesday’s GameSpotting blog!
