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.
