Nintendo Hoax

Dear Future Gamer

In response to the recent letter about DataDyne and Perfect Dark, I've checked datadyne.com and it's definitely a marketing ploy by Nintendo. There's no email address for correspondence, no postal address and no corporate history. Basically, it's seven slides that look quite realistic for one part of a website. And the "©2000 Datadyne"? There's no 'of America', or any Co , Ltd or Pty after it. Well done Nintendo, but you can't fool all of us. And how many companies employ a policy of DNA testing for job applicants?

FG: Thanks for that Ben. We've had a good look round the site too and agree that it's just a good marketing gimmick by Nintendo.
