Re: Tomonobu Itagaki on Why Devil's Third Underperformed

"um, there was no demo for this game. I think you're thinking of Lost Reavers..which yes, was the most boring game I have ever played."

I seem to have mixed the two. Hehe, sorry.

Devil's Third also does not seem like a good game to me, but I have not actually played it. But what I've seen does not appeal to me, at all.

"I don't understand why Nintendo Europe don't have a Treehouse Stream from Gamescom???"

Treehouse is the name of NoA's localization division. NoE's division could have been named Redundanthouse, you know, since having 2 English translations on games is just silly.

"Watch Nintendo Redundanthouse broadcast, this Friday 12:00 BST!"

Re: Review: R-Type (Wii U eShop / TG-16)

What exactly makes the "TurboGrafx-16 version of the game (...) arguably the best port in existence"?
I've owned and played Super R-Type, and I played the Amiga version at a friend's house, and I purchased the PS3 PSN port/remake.
I'm looking for a good reason to justify playing this as well.

Re: Nintendo Download: 4th August (Europe)

Three weeks ago, Curve Digital gave us 88-93% off 8 Wii U titles! As I only had Stealth Inc 2, I purchased the 7 I did not own!

...Maybe the best ever 3rd party sale on Wii U! Thanks, Curve Digital!

This week... this is a sad week compared.
No new games.
No new VC titles.
Cheap and small games discounted 30%, still way more expensive than the more impressive games offered in Curve Digital's sale... no thanks.

Re: Gallery: Let This Awesome Nintendo NX Mock-Up Excite You

My main next gen console will never have so low-comfort controllers. If NX ends up being that uncomfortable, I'll skip it. I'm not playing thousands of hours over a 5-year span on a flat tablet-like controller.

The Wii U GamePad is just comfortable enough. If it had stayed the original design, without the rounded 'hills' on the back, and with the 3DS-like "circle pads", I would have not bought Wii U at launch. I would probably only have bought it down the line for MK8 and Splatoon, it would never have been my main console.

Re: Sound Team From Sonic's 25th Anniversary Bash Explains Live Stream Issues

BornInNorway81

I have never ever seen a "professional" broadcast of any kind, TV or online, so amateurish like Sonic's 25th anniversary.

I casually had the stream on while doing other things, and until I turned off after 2.5 hours, most of what could go wrong, did:

Stream started about 20 minutes late
Buzzing sound for 2.5 hours
Hosts seemed unaware of camera blocking, or was even camera blocking done?
Trailer started early, last half was immediately replayed after finishing
Voices from microphone over unrelated imagery, like other people, video playback.

This is only about half if the stream's problems, I've forgotten a lot.

What a mess.

On the topic of your picture for this article on Twitter, the other person's comment on the broken cropping, and your response:

Why don't you pad images or crop them yourself to Twitter's allowed aspect ratios? This looks amateurish.
