Pardon me for being like this, but they sound like a bunch of crying, snot-nosed children.
They released a half-assed game, pumping out hype and great expectations when in the end their game fell flat on its face. And now, because they're butthurt that educated Wii U owners avoided their game, they're not going to support the platform?
Here's a news flash, Broken Rules: If all the other indie games were successful and yours was not, and you got input from both reviewers AND players on MiiVerse (I was one of them, you responded)...don't you think instead of punishing players you should punish yourselves? It's not our fault your game was less than mediocre and we wanted to spend our money on something else.
Indie developers go two ways. You get the great kinds like Shinen, then you have those like Phil Fish...or in this case, Broken Rules.
I believe in make believe...fairytales and lucky charms and... I believe in promises...spoken as you cross your heart, oh... I believe in skies forever blue...
Luigi and I are a lot alike. We're both overshadowed by our big brothers. But we're both on our way...we have our own ways. I'm rooting for you, green guy.
While I'd LOVE to see some Mario Kart U shots...I have a feeling that would be a worldwide coverage with Mr. Iwata, rather than the respective presidents of each region.
I think the North American Nintendo Direct will cover some Wii U/ 3DS release dates. Maybe more? Maybe more.
While it IS Nicalis and I hold many reservations against them...(For games already made and just need porting, they tend to mess a lot up) I am thrilled with the news. I will be getting this if everything is shaping up as promised.
Granted, they need to push themselves and other developers to make quality software. It needs to also come out in a reasonable time. We can't survive another drought like the 3DS did.
But advertising can't be done by Nintendo and affiliates alone. It's also up to the fans to get the word out. We've also got a responsibility to show how cool their new console is.
I regularly have little parties for friends, coworkers, etc to try out the Wii U. I'll have myself and some other friends prepare snacks, drinks, and whatnot and have the invited guests (and they can invite too!) try out the new console. Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros. U and Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing are great games for multiplayer.
@Windy I gotta defend the consumer here. This is coming from a company who's afraid to make games for fear of piracy. Um. Hello? I'm pretty sure all companies, big and small worry about that. The difference is I'll be happy to pay for QUALITY software. They're all "oh no pirates!" and when I look at this software, I think to myself...the only way I'd play this title at ALL is piracy (though I don't pirate anything so in the end I'll just pass it up).
Even worse, small companies are capable of making great software. WayForward and Shinnen make great indie games on multiple platforms.
Even DS to 3DS rebuilds like Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask look great for originally being a DS game. And while it may be Level 5 and Nintendo, look at WayForward's Mighty Switch Force! from 3DS to Wii U.
It's a lack of effort in my opinion. And when the game sells bad, these guys are just gonna blame 3DS/Wii U sales when in reality, people are tired of slop like this.
No offense to you or anyone else, of course. This is just my opinion.

So...why exactly are developers still creating DSiWare? I know this game must have been in development for several months (if it even took THAT long, according to this review) but couldn't they be like UFO games and just make awful 3DS eShop games?

Re: Mario Kart Month: Mario Kart's Best Weapon Isn't What You Think
I have to agree with this article and here's why.
It's not red shells, blue shells, bananas, or any other item I generally have to worry about.
When I throw a green shell, it usually bounces off of a wall and hits me right back. I am my own enemy in the Mario Kart series.

Re: Iwata Implies That He Could Step Down Over Sluggish Sales Performance
I'm 23 years old, but inside I feel like an infant crying.
I love and adore Iwata. He's the first president of Nintendo I actually like.

It's going to be a good generation for Nintendo fans. I can tell.

Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. U (Wii U)
In my opinion, this is the best of the series because it appears actual effort was put into level designs and the separate challenges.
Multiplayer is frantic as well.

Re: Sorry Lost Planet Fans, EX Troopers Isn't Coming To The West
Well, YEAH. I mean. It's not an 8th version of the same Street Fighter game, so why would they bother?
Didn't matter to begin with though. I'm still boycotting CAPCOM for cancelling MegaMan Legends 3.
