I just have too many responsibilities to get to one of these events during the week. Also, my wife would have complained about it too.

@Greator THAT gets you banned? When I was playing Nintendoland with a friend and my wife, a Miiverse picture came up with a butt pooping and "skids" written next to it. But posting your twitter handle will get you banned? Wow.

I was pissed off until I saw the trailer. It looks surprisingly good.

Ummmm...this wasn't an Urban Legend, its completely true that the games were buried in the desert. However, good luck digging them up, because they were smashed and run over with a steam roller, and concrete was poured overtop.

@Erica_Hartmann

...Unless the person posting this was in Europe. Which they are.

Step 1: Several big name system selling games are sold for the Wii U.
Step 2: The Wii U sells a lot of consoles.
Step 3: EA starts devoting more money to Wii U development and releases games for it.

Nintendo needs to get going on Step 1, though.

@3dbrains

That doesn't actually indicate much of anything. CPU overclocking doesn't always result in higher voltage draws from the device. It's just common with PCs.

@LunaticPandora
So you're holding Nintendo to a different standard than you're holding Microsoft and Sony? Neither Sony nor Microsoft have a "first party" of which to speak. SCEA was an independent development team that Sony bought out, and Microsoft owns IPs, but doesn't make any of their own games.

Although a new IP would be really nice, I would be happy of any really well made games, existing IPs or not. Hell, the last generation saw 4 or 5 main iterations of franchises, like Halo, Gears of War and Uncharted and usually not even Nintendo releases so many so fast.

The 3ds had similar slow sales at first, and that continued until they started releasing their big exclusives. Honestly, I was worried about it until Resident Evil Revelations was released. Then I knew it was going to be fine.

I would direct Spector to check out Dragon Age Origins and the Walking Dead adventure game series. Dragon Age Origins deals heavily with racism and slavery, as the elven population are analogs to the African American community before the civil rights movement (they are even forced to live in ghettos) and overall basic human rights debates (mages are locked up in a tower to keep them from being a danger and had their human rights stripped away). In the Walking Dead, the action segments are actually there to break up the dialogue, not the other way around. It is filled with tough decisions and a feeling of despair and triumph of spirit, and is worthwhile of its Game of the Year Awards.
