I disagree. This was an AfD where no new arguments were made from the  
previous AfD. Yes, consensus can change. But consensus is also not a  
random phenomenon based on who shows up on a given day. In the  
absence of any new claims about the article, it would have been  
wholly reasonable to take into account the previous overwhelming  
decision to keep the article, to note the egregiously poor reasoning  
of some of the votes ("not every game by Nintendo is notable," as one  
person argued - a position that is so far removed from our existing  
practice as to be unusable.
