In this letter [BoingBoing.net], Nintendo apologizes for going all crazy about one of the Suicide Girls writing that Metroid was one of her favorite games in her profile. I haven’t had a chance to see what Suicide Girls is all about, but word on the street is, it contains Goth chicks in the buff.

I can sorta see where Nintendo is coming from. Zelda.com was, at one point, a dirty, nasty porn site. Don’t get me wrong; I have no problems with porn in general, but targeting franchises you know children are going to go looking for is just wrong. I really don’t know why porn sites would want to attract kids anyway. It’s not like the kids have money in any form that they can spend online. The best they’re gonna get are some advertising click-throughs.

Anyway, Nintendo has been pretty active about going after these creeps, which I appreciate and apparently the cease and desist they sent to the Suicide Girls was a mistake.

Nintendo, it seems, is big enough to admit their mistake and make a mends. Now if only they would apolgize for not putting online play on the Gamecube.
