EvisceratorX commented on Senior EA Employee Caught Out Criticising Wii ...:

I'd be extremely surprised if this guy doesn't get fired in the next few weeks. This could've potentially destroyed any chance of collaboration between these companies in the next few years and although some people don't wanna admit it, not EVERYONE at EA hates Nintendo. I don't see any place in the workplace for men like this and his arrogance may have just cost him his job.

"But why A Link to the Past? Why not create a new world for Link to explore?" This line frightens me deeply. If they reuse the map from lttp, or slightly alter it just enough to say it's "new", I will lose a great deal of faith in this company...

Well, their first mistake was making it an iPad game. Nobody is going to take an iPad game like this seriously and that's a terrible platform to be releasing such an "ambitious" game as this. Also, they're simply asking for too much. Doubtless the Ecco series has its devoted followers, but I definitely wouldn't chalk it up as a well known series.

While it is disappointing to see the Wii U sales so low, I do not feel any sympathy for Nintendo, as this is mostly their fault. True, they may have gotten screwed by some third parties, but there is no scenario where the Wii U's current performance is someone else's fault. I'm kinda glad this happened though, because Nintendo needs to learn.

EvisceratorX commented on Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Is Revealed:

Well, I don't find this lineup to be very robust OR appealing, but I'm very glad that they've at least finally gotten up the VC. I just don't see the logic in them releasing these games when they're ALREADY AVAILABLE on the Wii U. Sure it may be in Wii mode, but I expected them to release new VC games...

EvisceratorX commented on Interview: Marc Franklin - Nintendo of America:

"If you look at some of the stand-out performers like Fire Emblem: Awakening, a third of the sales there are coming from digital." Yeah, Nintendo, but that's only because you slashed the printing of physical copies earlier so impatient customers would have no choice...

I seriously doubt it. While I do really want this game and would buy it on day 1 if released, the Wii U's track record with third party releases and multiplatform games has been shaky at best and disastrous at worst. There's still hope, though, and this game would go a long way in enticing third parties and making them realize that the Wii U maybe isn't as bad as it's made out to be.

EvisceratorX commented on Mother 3 Fan Offers Nintendo Free Translation ...:

I always thought things like this would be a good idea for game companies. For example, if a company didn't have the time or resources or whatever, they could put out a sort of commission and say to the fans that if they truly want a game to re-release, they can do the work themselves and the company would publish it. Of course, those who worked on it would get a small cut of the sales, too. It'd be a great way to accurately gauge interest in an old game or series and we'd see a lot more classic titles given another chance.

EvisceratorX commented on First Impressions: The Legend of Zelda 3DS:

Obviously, it's still WAY too early to really be making any calls on this, but I'm... uneasy about this one. I don't like that Nintendo seems to be giving the Zelda franchise the "New Super Mario Bros." treatment, but there's plenty of time for this game to prove that it's still got plenty of innovation and wonder and is not as disappointingly generic as those games. I, for one, am excited! :)

I'm calling it now. One of these days a third party, or maybe Nintendo, will come out with some sort of portable battery in a backpack for playing a Wii U on the go. The potential is right there and it'd be a perfect, if not expensive, accessory for a Wii U.

EvisceratorX commented on Talking Point: The Next-Gen Console War is Wii...:

I must say that I think Nintendo really shot themselves in the foot in just the NAMING of the 3DS and WiiU. Literally every single friend that I've shown the wii u to said something like they really wanna buy this controller for their wii and I have to tell them that this is NOT a Wii. The problem with the names of these consoles is that consumers mistake them for mere hardware upgrades or addons to the WIi or DS. Pretty much everyone has either a Wii or a DS now and so they see no need to upgrade to this "newer model".

EvisceratorX commented on Feature: The GamePad - From Waggling Remotes T...:

I'd say it's an evolution to the industry as a whole, but a revolution to the home console industry. The DS was the true revolution because it changed the whole indutry and the handheld. Wii U does not turn as many heads because 2 screens has been done before, however, it has not yet been done for home consoles. To further back up that it's an evolution, not a revolution, is because it progressed the 2 screen concept in the sense that the 2 screens are completely independent now. With the DS, it was basically one screen that had 2 halves doing different things. The Wii U now allows the second screen to not only display something different, but to do things like "scanning" and other motion control related things that have yet to be touched upon.

EvisceratorX commented on Talking Point: An Open Letter To Nintendo:

Well I do partially agree with the letter, but it's still way to early to decide whether or not the console will fail. That said, he does have a point with how Nintendo promised all this strong 3rd party support and then it didn't happen. Anyone remember the unveiling of this? What happened to that "unprecedented partnership" between EA and Nintendo? Heck, if I remember right they even expressed interest in bringing Battlefield to Wii U. Personally, I couldn't care less about that particular game, but my point is that something has changed between Ninty and 3rd parties since then. Whatever it is, they just need to get their act together.
