Re: Ubisoft Data Places Mario as the Second Highest Selling Franchise Since 2005

@UnseatingKDawg I was referring to the games listed. There's tons of good series out there that aren't on the list, but rehashes and brogames are the only things that sell anymore. Closest to hardcore/awesome game series that sell well would be Zelda, and Zelda only sells well because of its brand name, not its quality (despite the quality being so good). I guess Smash bros. kinda fits hardcore and sells well too, but like I said, mostly only rehashes and shoot-em-ups sell.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Footage Revealed

Lol the drones. They're striking.

@JaxonH fair point, though. I just feel bad for those who waited 30 minutes to see 10 seconds of footage. I've just gotten used to the fact that the only worthwhile reveals by nintendo are directs, and not even all directs are that good. I agree that it's better to just catch the highlights of things like this, though. I'm glad I didn't waste 30 minutes.

Re: Research Firm IDC Anticipates Worldwide Wii U Price Cut in Late 2014 to 2015, Increase in Retail Downloads

@Action51 no this is just more of a general comment about you on the site. You're one of the people who will never criticize nintendo no matter what they do.
PS: I can sense your mad from my keyboard. You can't handle that nitnendo isn't perfect. At least @JaxonH is willing to admit there's trouble. I'm not asking anyone to say the wii u is a pii u, but for Reggie's sake if you think the wii u is doing just fine, you're living in a bubble bobble.

@Action51 all this mad in 1 comment is rare. Rarer than meeting somebody who owns a wii u.
I don't think anyone's arguing that YOU shouldn't have a wii u. If you love nintendo regardless of quality, you'll buy one. If you think they're going to sell a ton of units, you're crazy. I'm hoping for nintendo just to break even at this point. I kind of agree with the head buried in the sand in the sense that there are always people here who protect nintendo. If you love nintendo, you'll be worried for them because their bottom line is hurting because the wii u is failing, regardless of how good or bad you think it is. Nintendo doesn't revolve around the few million who will always buy their products, it's the general gaming population in addition to the casual/family audience. I care about nintendo, so I will admit they are doing something wrong.

Re: Nintendo Quashes Rumours Of New Hardware At E3 2014

I was hoping for a new model for 3ds like a lighter version of it with better internet, but alas I guess I must wait for another year or 2.
They obviously weren't going to make a successor console to the 3ds (or wii u) though. That would have been the dumbest idea possible, so it's good that they're committed to fixing their mistakes before moving on to the next console.

Re: Talking Point: What We Want To See From Nintendo's Next Handheld

I want them to keep physical media as an option. Not every game needs to have a physical option, but games like Zelda, Smash, Mario, and Pokemon should have the option of either digital or physical. I'd really like to see multiple game slots like the ds and ds lite.

Also, as someone said earlier in the comments, the 2ds wasn't an admission of failure, it was a way to make the 3ds cheaper for the pokemon crowd. Of course 3d won't be the highlight of future systems, but I expect them to keep 3d in succeeding consoles.
