I was rooting for the GameCube when everyone was hating it. Now hipsters look back and give it credit. Same with PS3...early on, trendy gamers didn't want to hear about it...I kept saying how it was a great system and the ignorant ones never jumped on board, or took 5 years to figure it out.
Wii U. Been saying its a great console all along with a slew of classic games already...but today's gamer is clueless and only follows what is "cool", without knowing why.
Why is ps4 suddenly accepted? No real reason. It just an updated ps3....but they sold it well. That's all this is...perception of Nintendo is screwed up because of constant media attacks for many years now.
The Wonderful 101 is all the proof you need that Nintendo has real hardcore action experiences that will forever be ignored by the ignorance of today's so called "gamer".
Don't care. I'll be playing dozens of great games on the console regardless of "unit sales" that never mattered back in the day, and still don't matter now.
this for some reason reminds me of Dragon Quest X. What happened to the Wii U version? Its the biggest series in Japan. If Nintendo was smart, they'd change it from the lame MMO set-up, and make it turn based and sell tons of Wii U's and copies of the game.
@Lobster the reason there is less females in games is because men are the massive majority of gender responsible for their creation, as well as audience.
Do you see tons of men in an oprah audience? No. Therefore she will cater to women, as she obviously does.
When games are not scoffed at by the media as a "little boy" hobby, or a hobby for losers in their basements, maybe there will be a larger change. But a change is NOT needed. Games reflect who is playing them and who is making them quite fairly.
I miss the days as a gamer pre-internet when NONE of this temporal sales stuff mattered one bit to gamers. I like video games. Let's talk about those..... The business side is for those actually involved to deal with. Nintendo keeps with tradition, which I am thankful for...I don't need them to impress the brain dead masses of anything.
Nintendo should start reaching back to Gamecube and Wii and give us various HD releases. A great game is always a great game, and if WW is any indication, playing a great Nintendo game in HD is totally worth the trouble.
Oh, and they better be making Paper Mario for the Wii U. Or how about Super Mario RPG 2? Paper Zelda?

Re: Sony's President of Worldwide Studios Actually Has Two Wii U Systems
@PvtOttobot $300 is nothing to someone that makes a good living
Re: Sony's President of Worldwide Studios Actually Has Two Wii U Systems
Nintendo: print money with a limited edition Wii U with the NES color/design. They would ALL sell.

@Bass_X0 you're without critical thought
Re: Platinum Games Producer Hates "Pedantic Port-Begging" Regarding Bayonetta 2
Today's average gamer is no gamer, just a spoiled brat with no knowledge of the reality around him.
Disgusting.
Re: Industry Analyst Predicts Disappointing Outcome For Wii U Lifetime Sales
Why post the article? No creativity or imagination involved, just repeating negative perception of Nintendo over and over again.
Re: Review: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (Wii U)
LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER is so much better than this game. People that mention load times of LCU have no idea what they're complaining about.
Re: Analysts Weigh In With Estimates for Wii U Fiscal Year Sales
Gamers used to talk about games. Now they talk about sales. Old school gamers=better.
Re: iPhone Gaming Controller Could Mean "The End Of Nintendo", Claims Investment Site
Only mentally deranged hipsters would make this argument.
Re: Soapbox: Zelda's Magic Creates A Link Between Generations
I'm disgusted that gamers have to almost apologize for Nintendo for what companies like Pixar get critically acclaimed for...
Re: Nintendo's UK Store to Release A Wii U Mario Mega Bundle
@Portal_King there is nothing disgusting about it. You get what you pay for WHEN you pay for it.
Re: DFC Intelligence Lowers Wii U Lifetime Sales Forecast, But Supports Holiday Releases and Strategy
Don't care. I'll be playing dozens of great games on the console regardless of "unit sales" that never mattered back in the day, and still don't matter now.

Re: Nintendo Picks Up 10 Nominations for Spike VGX Awards
@BlatantlyHeroic most overrated game of the generation.
Re: Happy Birthday, Wii U - You're One Today
I'm happy with the console. Not happy with gaming media or gamers in general that don't recognize a quality console when they see one.
Re: Suda51: "Nintendo Are Always Very Important To Us"

Re: Talking Point: Regional Online Multiplayer Misses the Point
Bunch of whiners about online.
Re: Mamma Mia! The Mario & Luigi Wii U Bundle Is Sold Out At Target And GameStop
People didn't "get" Nintendoland because it was way more skill based than Wii Sports when it came out. I really hope they make a part 2.
Re: Satoru Iwata Outlines Wii U Holiday Target Audience and Aim for a "Unique Approach"
Don't care. The Wii U has my most anticipated games coming out for the foreseeable future (besides dark souls 2)
Re: Super Mario 3D World's Team Highlights the Values of Accessibility and Empathy

Re: The Wii Mini Will Arrive in the U.S. in November
No idea who wouldn't just get a Wii instead.
Re: Nintendo Reveals More Details for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
this for some reason reminds me of Dragon Quest X. What happened to the Wii U version? Its the biggest series in Japan. If Nintendo was smart, they'd change it from the lame MMO set-up, and make it turn based and sell tons of Wii U's and copies of the game.
Too easy.
Re: Male Wii Fit Trainer Revealed as Latest Smash Bros. Challenger
@Lobster the reason there is less females in games is because men are the massive majority of gender responsible for their creation, as well as audience.
Do you see tons of men in an oprah audience? No. Therefore she will cater to women, as she obviously does.
When games are not scoffed at by the media as a "little boy" hobby, or a hobby for losers in their basements, maybe there will be a larger change. But a change is NOT needed. Games reflect who is playing them and who is making them quite fairly.
Re: Iwata Braves Press Conference to Explain Nintendo's Earnings
I miss the days as a gamer pre-internet when NONE of this temporal sales stuff mattered one bit to gamers.
I like video games. Let's talk about those.....
The business side is for those actually involved to deal with.
Nintendo keeps with tradition, which I am thankful for...I don't need them to impress the brain dead masses of anything.

Re: Soapbox: The Wii U Virtual Console Needs to Freshen Up
Where's Gamecube? Insane that they wouldn't be on this by now.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Doesn't Rule Out Additional HD Remakes and a Return to the Mario Galaxy Style
Nintendo should start reaching back to Gamecube and Wii and give us various HD releases. A great game is always a great game, and if WW is any indication, playing a great Nintendo game in HD is totally worth the trouble.
