Great article.
iNma always gets the point quite well.

I really like the focusing on the switch from 8 to 16 bit machines and how the SNES aided perceiving the need of new types of gaming (and developing them).

I read millions of articles about the SNES, but he managed to keep his interesting and provided deep considerations on things such game technology/marketing evolution.

Cheers! A++ for the whole VC:A actual situation.

I think the idea that the SNES was important in defining the shift away from older types of gaming is often forgotten, though it's arguably the cause for the machines success.
