@Damo Although I disagree with the gimmicks and the power race, you definitively lost me on ditching physical media. Not everyone has a fast enough internet connection to make digital distribution the norm let alone when ISPs put money over a good service (especially in America and the rest of Americas)

Re: Nintendo Lifts The Lid On Its Plans For E3 2014

Jesus Koopa-slaying Christ, the more I read this comment section the more I'm inclined to go on a kitten-flaying rampage.

Since when E3 was about the presentation and not the Arceusdamn games? There's a reason why the 2012 E3 presentation was a bust: no games. Last year's Direct was kinda underwhelming (because SM3DW first glance was bland), but at least they cut all the irrelevant crap to gamers (like all investor-oriented talk). Nintendo's message is clear with this new format: let the games do the talk

@Kirk
We are talking about DICE/EA, not some random crapstain on the internet, whose "unprecedented partnership" with Nintendo was pretty much burning bridges shortly after building them and those tweets are pretty much crapping on said bridge's ashes; not to mention their recent track record is rather bad.

Heck, the tweets are not even funny on itselves; they are cringeworthy.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Pointed to Another Wii U Retail Drought

Seems like some people are missing the point of this article. Here's the tl;dr version for you guys

No, eShop titles won't drive sales, but it will keep current Wii U owners entretained between major releases. No, Nintendo won't have a steady flow of retail titles until 2015 or so, since their new plan is just getting started.

Re: Watch_Dogs Delayed Again on Wii U, Will Arrive on the System After Other Platforms

@JohnRedcorn
"If UbiSoft cancels the Wii-U version now (they are just using the term "delayed" to be diplomatic) they will save more money than they would earn if they finished work on the game and released it months after the other versions, to awful sales."

Wait, what? No, man: at this stage with the general delay the game suffered (and missing the 8th gen hype train when the PS4/XBO, which doesn't help at all), scrapping the Wii U version would be rather dumb since they might want to pick as many sales as they can to recoup the costs (the game is costing $70 million at this point), even Ubi said a port costs less than $1.5 million.

I mean, I don't think Watch_Dogs is in such developer hell as Aliens: CM. Ubisoft is more like Chaotic Stupid than Stupid Evil EA when it comes to releases, as explained as this guy: http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/The+Bowels+of+Trogdor/ubisoft-delays-done-wrong-developers-take-notes--269915.phtml
