@MAB nice

@MadAwesomeBlokie
I know exactly what you mean. These next generation i-tweens really annoy me....My brother is another who falls into this category, plus he's addicted to that horrible reality TV garbage that's sucking the imagination out of the air waves. It's pretty depressing....Actually very depressing. Another brilliant reason why i can't stand the 2000's. I say screw the new and get with the Zack Morris old. I want one of these bad boys haha. I'm into collecting 80's merchandise and the like so this is definitly something I'd try to score off eBay.

@WaveBoy: My mom had one of those she used for work (she worked for a home healthcare agency at the time and they'd transfer the office phone over to that big old clunky cell for weekend emergencies)... it wasn't that great. the sound is much clearer on newer phones than it was on that old thing, it didn't hold that long of a charge if you had to use it a lot iirc, and it was honestly just awkward and heavy to carry around. It's fun to say you'd like one of those things, but i'd wager in practice you'd set it aside for an average modern not-quite-smartphone soon enough — and that's if you could find a carrier willing to give you a plan for the thing in the first place. :3

Now if we could get back to the topic at hand, please, I'd greatly appreciate it, guys. Thank you! :3

I think Nintendo is safe. They have a dedicated fanbase...that sometimes wishes they would go bankrupt for various reasons (like the lackluster e3 presentation).

If Nintendo ever decides to announce some awesome games for it, then it should be amazing.

tl;dr: bleak.

@Wavesta at least you could get some decent service with that brick back in the day I drive 10 minutes out of town and my service drops off completely yet they allegedly communicated with a group of dudeski's that went to the moon in the 60's... What's that all about?

Anyway Mikey Pachter said WiiU will fail so I guess it will be a success

I'm expecting the to come either in first or 2nd place this time around. Not expecting it to do wii numbers again.

My biggest thing is I this k Nintendo needs to aquifer a few more devs to have a more diverse platform. Pick up someone like Mistwalker for example and put a developer like Brownie Brown on more projects in the 3DS/download space. It seems nintendo teams are becoming stretched thin even more so than last gen. Sony has shown the. Benefits of having multiple really big developers and Microsoft seems tl be following that approach for next gen.

Nintendo needs to pick up one of the smart phone specialists.

Even if Nintendo doesn't want to do smart phone stuff itself, it could really use some strategic advice from a specialist who does low price/ freemium gaming day-in-day out for its 3DS/ Wii U eShop.

Gamevil would be a nice pick up for Nintendo.

I don't care what place the Wii U comes in this generation just so long as two things happen.
1. It gets most of the multiplatform games that PS4 and 720 get.
2. It doesn't tank like the Dreamcast.
Good games are all I am expecting. HD graphics are there. A good controller is there. A nice launch lineup is there. All we need now is Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Donkey Kong, and Starfox and obviously great third party games.

Ahhhh Patcher >: [ he likes to talk big

As long as Nintendo has their IPs, they will be fine. Heck, Gamecube barely survived on their IPs alone

With the exception of the Virtual Boy, hasn't every Nintendo console made a profit? Even the GameCube made money because they were able to minimize manufacturing costs and sell each unit for a profit, unlike the competition.
