The ONE prioritize's other elements above gaming and SONY's top developer's dont float my boat at all. Even if they did they dont have EAD TOKYO or EAD 3 or RETRO STUDIOS or INTELIGENT SYSTEMS on there payroll so ehhh yeah i will stick with NINTENDO thanks.

For finally slaying the ghost of the now infamous "launch window" and setting the scene for a much more momentous E3 direct i thought the execution was execelent. Now lets all get our bodys ready and our mother brains super stoaked for the real "GOODS" in just a couple of weeks soooo exicited :D

This along with the other two members of the holy trinity ZELDA: A LINK TO THE PAST and SUPER MARIO WORLD is the reason i always laugh when the megadrive vs snes debate comes up these three masterpiece's haven't aged a day and yet nearly everything on the megadrive has in fact these three games are better than about 97% of all modern games im not saying it to be flipant either only the MARIO 64 & the two GALAXY games have topped WORLD only SKYWARD SWORD & OCARINA has topped A LINK TO THE PAST and actually i dont think PRIME has topped this beautiful piece of art it's close but i give it to SUPER METROID i did get stuck in the THAT WHOLE though :)

Great review as well sums it all up perfectly.

@ferthepoet yes people said the infamous nintendoomed stuff during the gamecube era but that was just fanboys looking at sales figures look at the important numbers NINTENDO consistently made very healthy profits during the N64 and GAMECUBE era's if making tons of money every year isnt a sign of success then i dont know what is. And yes it has ALWAYS been like this in the words of Hiroshi Yamauichi "a nintendo console is just a box to play Mario on" it might be an over simplified vision but you cant deny the numbers dude. All top sellers have always been and will always be NINTENDO first party games (i am all for a vibrant software portfolio and it certainly puts plenty of yen in NINTENDO's coffers) to try and argue against that is the very definition of blindness im afraid.

@ferthepoet It is true dude look at it from the all important global picture what are the top sellers mario 3d land 8mil, mario kart 7 6mil, new super mario bros 2 6mil, animal crossing new leaf near 4 mil(and unlike monster hunter will explode when released in the western territory's), forget about the regional appeal of monster hunter and dragon quest (even though i love em). they are million sellers but the real monster sellers are the nintendo branded titles it is these titles just like it has ALWAYS been that will shift NINTENDO hardware it hasn't changed in 30years why would it change now a bit of common sense people.

@rjejr the 3ds succeeded not because lack of competion from vita but because it was an attractive product with great software and it was priced competitively if NINTENDO are able to re-create that situation with Wiiu (and both cases are spookily similar) then the consumer wont care about the competition they will only think one thing "should i buy a Wiiu based on the games available and price" they will probably say yes if NINTENDO get it right.
The whole Wiiu has more competition than 3ds angle is inherently flawed look at the 360/PS3 situation they are near identical and they haven't cannabalised each other's sales the vita didn't fail because of 3ds it is failing because it isnt an attractive product to the mass consumer like the PSP was to an extent the DS sold 150mil units and yet the PSP sold a very nice 70mil people by your analogy the PSP would have sold barely anything just because its rival sold a lot more.

This confirms a holiday release for mario 3d, surely. I mean NINTENDO would hardly display a playable demo of it in the run to the holiday season at a major American retailer just for it not to come out at Christmas or would they?

@AceTrainerAndy @Bulby you have quite the ego dont ye it sounds like you can control your subscribers somehow just patent your mind control technology that will fill the gap in your wallet. I would have cared if ye didnt come across as a such a greedy baby "no money no nintendo waa waa" you would stop buying great nintendo games because of this, games you stated "you made look fun" whatever that means and im sure your subs can make there own minds up you arent there messiah dude.

@Lin1876 "nothing to do with" are you serious they made the damn games. That would be like if you wrote the script for a tv show and then i pinched it and recited it verbatum on youtube and made money off of it. Some people might watch these lets play videos and might not buy the game because they have seen everything in it dont you think they should make back some of those lost profits and that aint a question they should. Good on em there totally within there rights to do this.

Erm.. the guy's who run NINTENDO's foreign division's are always puppets serving there Japanese masters its always been like this, so this move doesn't really mean much Reggie is at best a spokesperson for NINTENDO always will be he has never had any real power im not criticizing him i agree with this model Iwata and myamoto are the idea guys but arent the best public orator's all Reggie is really for is E3 he is awesome.

Now its time for intelligent systems to re-launch the advance wars brand just like they did amazingly with this series. Who would have taught that this most hardcore of nintendo series would make the top 3 in the shooter obsessed uk & ireland market, outstanding i bet nintendo plan to re-launch the whole mother series in the west as well the VC launch of earthbound is just the start....

What a bunch of whiners talk about never being happy, for an age and a half it was "we want earthbound.. c'mon ninty make it happen" and then when we get earthbound you are all complaining about something else just be happy for crying out loud the WiiU VC selection will grow in time and we might just get confirmation of GC games at E3 so just... be... patient... this constant whining is getting old.

@AugustusOxy bang on dude development costs on AAA ps3 & xbox games this gen were scary (somewhere in the $150mil-$250mil area) imagine how much even the battlefield 4 17min demo cost. The market needs stability not budget expansion's that will sink all but the EA's and ACTIVISION'S of this world
