Retro, obscure, difficult.

Impressive. I might have to import it.

Pachter brings all the uneducated replies to the yard!

And he's like they're better than yours!

I agree, Phil. Mega Man X is too easy. Still enjoyable, of course.

Nintendolife really needs a thumbs up function.

He is wrong and right at the same time.

Xbox gamers rarely play original Xbox games. Sony and Nintendo fans are the opposite taking PS1/PS2 classics and the Virtual Console as examples. I'm a fan of all companies and I rarely ever use any console's backwards compatibility (which is also not an issue when it comes to the Xbox One and won't hurt sales. At least, I can't see it doing so.)

Yuck.

@brandonbwii

I love it how everyone you disagree with are tagged as trolls.

Oh no, there goes the neighborhood.

Now this is what I call a news story!

@HawkeyeWii

@Gameday brings up a good point. There's no reason to hate on this series. You complain about everyone "fighting" every time it's brought up, yet you turn around and consistently talk negatively (at every opportunity given). If you hate Call of Duty, stop talking about it.

I'd be surprised if Activision didn't release Ghosts on Wii U. Then again, I can see why.

I needed a good laugh today.

I want to be excited but I can't see the Call of Duty teams pulling it off.

@MrSRArter:
Not really. Mario Kart Wii and 7 were the only games with three years in between.

Oh, and I called this awhile ago, haha.

@AbeVigoda

Second batch? Lol, that's a good one.

This sounds fantastic. Yet another investment to be made, lol.

This is fantastic news.

@Peach64
Yet most people fail to comprehend that, lol.

It's disappointing none of them have successors on Wii U. It's by no means a deal breaker, but having some sort of option would be nice.

Looks like it'll be a tad easier to buy two copies now.

So excited!

@Slapshot
I agree Slap.

If Nintendo wants to create successful and healthy offerings, it needs to have consistent, reliable third party support.

Developers are afraid to walk away from the norm due to the gaming audience. It's not a developer's fault it wants to develop yet another zombie game because it sells well.

Video games will never grow up because grown up entertainment isn't something any gamer wants to engage in (there are a few exceptions). It's a lost cause and very disappointing at that.

I want all of them. I know, surprising.

Since when did Ubisoft profit from Assassin's Creed III? Do you have a link to sales of how many copies were sold? I'm doubting your claims.

It's not Ubisoft's fault it's contributing to a momentarily lost cause. I'm not declaring that third parties will never release games on Wii U, all I'm saying is that no smart publisher with big budget games are going to release them on Nintendo's Wii U in the next year.

Yeah, I'm sure that's why, but nothing lasts forever and if Nintendo truly had that mindset (it doesn't), you could expect it closing its foreign doors in the next few years, lol.

@Zellybeanie

The people who want BF4 are the people who already own a PC or last generation console. Taking these comments as an example, most of these users didn't even want the game to begin with which, as predictable as it is, isn't shocking and further proves that DiCE and EA made the best decision possible.

Ubisoft doesn't have mystical powers to see into the future so it had no other option but to gamble its few games at launch. Otherwise, no other third party is contributing to the Wii U and won't until it sells well.

(Prepare for low budget risks on Wii U, lol.)

@Zellybeanie

Are you telling me there are more than twenty thousand people on the Wii U version of Black Ops II every day? Wow, well I accept you.

@rayword45

My point still stands.

@rayword45

Show a link for Mutant Mudds. I believe the reason you can't name another example is because there aren't any.

Glad I could jog your memory.

@Zellybeanie

Yes, all twenty thousand of them. You still having trouble finding different lobbies? No need to lie about such a tiny community.

Absolutely worth the investment.

Look at how well that sold on Wii U.

@Dark_Angel

Adding a map to the gamepad is a poor excuse to why it should take the risk.

I'm not too sure if Wii U outsold the Xbox 360 but even so, look at the slump Sony's PlayStation3 was in and now it's a success. Launches don't determine the outcome of consoles nor do past launches. Now, where Sony was sitting in 2007, it had a lot of third party support on the way and a wealth of first party titles on the way as well including an over abundance of new IPs.

There's no denying that. The question is, is that can Nintendo do the same? I'm not too optimistic about it due to its history of lacking in that aspect.

Like what they say, first time for everything.

Nintendo will have to resort to handhelds-only if third parties are not supporting its consoles. Nintendo will only last so long after its audiences figure its same old franchises are starting to burn out rather quickly and with its new IPs selling below the horizon at every corner, it's only a matter of time.

@SethNintendo

Either way, it's not selling well as of now and won't for some time. The launch of Wii U was only the launch and has no key benefits for Nintendo anymore. Actually, Nintendo had to decrease the goal of the sales target not too long ago to help its share holders.

That's not good. Plus, there's no reason to buy one until the Holiday season unlike its current last generation competition and with a lack on interest from third parties, nothing will change substantially for the next generation console. Looks like it'll be yes another Nintendo console where only Nintendo's games will be worth a look.

@Exile20

The Wii U didn't sell at the beginning whatsoever. As of now, there's no demand for it. Plus, there's barely any third party support aside from Ubisoft. Which isn't enough to justify a purchase.

What happened in the past happened in the past. The past has no impact to the future success of any console on the market. I'm not sure why any of you are debating this, but it's a tad redundant.

You can't blame DiCE for not supporting a console that refuses to sell.

@NlmH

Mascot, icon. Contra has been running for over twenty years and look how successful that is by today's standards.

Konami are gods.

There will always be a Nintendo. Though, one without a mascot.

I enjoy most of Miyamoto's games but he's not God, he's a video game director.

Here's the plan Ubisoft: When we're done with Black Flag we're going to take a two year break from the Assassin's Creed franchise and focus on the fifth installment for that absent gap.

The fifth game will focus on World War II and boom, we're done. Forever.

@Windy

I don't think a documentary that revolves around Team Meat, Phil and the man who made Braid is the best source of discovering Fish's, or anyone else's, people skills or any other aspect of their personalities.

Especially considering how short the movie is, how limited Phil's part was and the fact there's no concrete evidence to validate your observation.

@Windy

He's not directly talking to anyone. As far as we know, we know nothing of his people skills.

@Damo

Yes Damo, posting a news article about an indy developer's opinion from his Twitter that is known to upset your entire community is definitely, without a doubt, news worthy.

It's funny how nobody but pixelman has realized what's going on here (and has been for a long time).

I know it's annoying and unnecessary for you to read Fish's opinions but you're blaming the wrong guy. Blame Damien and the NL staff for allowing this unnecessary "news" article(s) to be published.

It's unprofessional and, in other words, utterly immature.

@sweetiepiejonus

When one reads an opinion they disagree upon, they should respond in a mature manner. There's no reason not to and it might prevent yourself from looking silly.

@LzQuacker

Maybe I'm reading too fast but you should point out where Phil said "nobody wants a DS" because all I read was "I wish this had 2nd screen that is smaller and a different aspect ration and touch but not 3D". Which Phil was implying no one has ever said.

Great list, NL. I especially agree with the top three.

@DarkCoolEdge

Ego or not, he has an opinion I agree with. Beyond that, you or anyone else ranting on about how it's "wrong" or "bullcrap" are just wasting time on this fantastic Sunday with a professional that will never read these comments.

@yobokkie

Who are you to say he doesn't have room to talk? For all we know, you're the average joe that only plays games and nothing more.

@Faruko

He's talking about the 3DS' 3D feature. Fez is not the same kind of 3D.

I find it funny how almost everyone in the comments are either severely offended or upset by Fish's opinion. I guess he should have opened his rant with "IMHO".
