Well this is NintendoAge. We are about everything Nintendo. Lately I have been seeing a lot of members into N64 an later era stuff. People consider the Virtual Boy retro from 1995, Pokemon was 1998, not much difference.
Also I grew up in the NES era.. the beginning, and was not too old for the Pokemon era. I was born in 84 (so I was 14 at the time of Pokemon), so I don't see the logic of people being too old. Yeah some of us got the NES when they were already 12, and it was just released. I got mine in 89 when I was 5, and I was right in the heart of the era.
Yeah though, I think dedicated section will bring more focus, and get more done. Maybe even make a private topic for writers, and list the sections of the magazine. Writers can call there spots a couple months in advance or something.
