For once he is right, but that's how it always have been with Nintendo. If I just had money I would buy another console or consoles regardless, because Sony just has so many extremely good exclusive games, so this isn't anything new really.
I am still playing Black Mesa and Final Fantasy. In three weeks the Fire Emblem Awakening will be in Europe and I will be very happy when that happens.
I have to agree. Wii is my personal favorite console currently. Mostly for it's awesome games, but also Wii was the first console ever which I bought myself, so there is some special emotional value included.
On PC I get everything digitally in Steam, but on consoles... nope. I prefer good old boxed retail games on consoles, because it gives you the real feeling of ownership and collecting. On PC I just feel somehow different. The box doesn't just feel to have a same kind of value than in consoles. I not going to go into more detail about this, but some may know what I mean.
He has a point about two control sticks and more powerfull handheld hardware, but about everything else he is wrong. Two screens is not just a gimmick, it really helps to have two screens in many games. I also think that beside better games, the dual screen is the thing what makes 3DS better console in my opinion.
Frankly, I don't understand him and I think he is wrong. Stories are the main reason why I play video games and without them I wouldn't be playing video games nearly as much. For me the compination of good story and "good enough" gameplay is the thing why I like games more than movies and books. But I know that people like different things and this is just how I like it.
I think they should really bring back the original release date and fast. I had faith in ubisoft before but with this ubisoft really disappointed me and caused some doupt against them. Come on Ubisoft, even the developer team is angry.
Did you guys know for example, AMD FX-4170 is 4,2 Ghz four core processor but Intel core i5-3450 3,1 Ghz (four cores) for example is lot more powerful and faster than AMD FX-4170. It is all about the architecture. (but still the CPU speed is super low if 1,2 Ghz is true)
I don't care for achievements, I don't play games for achievements. I play games for enjoyble experience and achievements are not a part of that experience. Altough achievements could be nice litle extra but trying to get achievements intentionally is waste of time in my opinion.
Iwata is right, we shoukd think tablets and smart phones as allies not as enemies because gaming on those platforms will never really match gaming on real gaming console and they can be used to get information about Nintendo like computers, but in lot easier way.
Mario Galaxy games shouldn't be in that list, how in world they are in the second and first places. I hate Mario games, but that's just me. I am probably only one in the world who dislike Mario and I don't understand why.
This time he is not being asshole, I think he has a point. I am Nintendo core fan and I will buy Wii U no matter what. But will everybody buy Wii U no matter what? I sure hope so but I doubt it.
That MCV is talking nonsense. Wii U is next gen no matter how you look at it. I trust Nintendo I know it well(nintendolife has helped me with that) and because of that I don't believe that nintendo would do anything stupid like that.
It is as Shea says "never underrestimate nintendo". It is true that casual gaming market is crowing but I think that trough that the audience for real gaming is also growing so casual gaming will never replace real high quality games. And there are millions of loyal nintendo fans so Wii U will be succes no matter what because those fans just won't disappear all the sudden.
What about euro countries. Most of countries in european union are using euro, so why I haven't seen even a single mention of how much wii u will cost euros.
Hmm... let's see. I am going to play kid icarus uprising, Half Life 2 and Final Fantasy XII and propably I am going to also play some Dead or Alive dimensions and Theatrythm Final Fantasy.
I hate playing games on phones. The thing with handhelds is, that they are dedicated for gaming and the games are 1000000 times better and higher quality.
Sometimes it makes sense sometimes it doesn't. For example Skyrim: Skyrim doesn't have anything what would make it 18+, but it still is. I just bought it from finnish retailer trough internet using my parents info (I asked permission for that), because my parents don't really care, but my friend bought it from UK because his parents cares and in UK it was rated 16+. We were 16 when the game was released by the way.
I agree with Iwata, it doesn't matter even if Sony and Microsoft would release 1000 times more powerfull console, Nintendo is still the best in their own different way.
I like to have see GC games in virtual console and HD remastering wouldn't be bad either for some classic games. I like to see lot of different GC games because there is plenty of good games that i missed out on GC era.
I am going to play Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn and Fallout 3. I also like to say The Last Story, but finished it couple days ago, maybe i should play it again because it is so freaking awesome game.
