This will either be a really good game or a really bad game. imo, I think they should have kept the character's current designs from the SEGA games. I'm still getting used to the new ones...

@Jayvir The game is being broadcast on your local Fox channel. If you have a digital antenna, you should still be able to watch it.

@hosokawasamurai Wow!! Some of those glitches were bad! I never had anything like that happen on the Wii U except for the part at 1:48.

@TreonsRealm So if I'm reading your post right, the Wii U version sold more than the PC version?

If what you say is true, then they would cancel it for PC based off that logic. But I know that won't happen...

I don't know what to make of this, but hopefully it works out well for them. I'm not going to give my opinion until we see more concrete evidence.

As long as they release Elite Beat Agents, I will be happy!

I didn't agree at all with him on the Disney buying Nintendo thing, but he really hit the nail on the head with this statement. See if the execs. at the big N can turn this thing around, and if not, then we can talk about getting rid of people. After all, if everything just came easy to us, would we be the same people we are today?

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan

Ok...what did I just watch?!?!

Cool beans! Hope I can sneak on down there sometime this week!

Also, if Nintendo doesn't get a third party game that I really want, I get it on the PC. Simple as that. Honestly, if anyone buys a Nintendo console anymore and expects stellar third party support, then this system is not for you.

(After finally being almost done with school, finally gets to enjoy the Wii U and the great games it has to offer. Finally forgets all the hate for the Wii U and that Nintendo is "backwards", then sees the comments).

"What did you say? I can't hear you over the sound of Batman smashing in someone's skull!"

Note: I'm not saying Nintendo has made some bad decisions, but do you know how often I think of them when I'm playing games? None. Like @theblackdragon said, play what you want and forget everyone else that tells you to play something else for no good reason.

(Goes back to corner and smashes Joker's skull in as Batman).

Funny. Am I the only one that thinks of this song every time we hear about this site?

Well, even though we all had high expectations for this game, if you really look at it, this isn't all that surprising. As we've seen from the previous sales charts, portable gaming is the "in" thing now in Japan with console gaming taking a back seat. Also releasing it around the holidays helps them, but it certainly doesn't help with making quick sales. Since we are so close to the holidays, people prob. put it in their Christmas list or something and some simply haven't got the chance to buy it yet. I know if it wasn't around the holidays, I would probably already have this game in hand. It will probably do better in America, but I wouldn't be surprised if those numbers don't meet our expectations as well.

Smart move by the Big N! Not trying to sound sarcastic or anything, but I'm actually a little surprised that Nintendo has bought the title of "official video game partner" for SouthWest before Micro$oft or Sony got to them.

But, since I'm pretty sure M$ has the NFL, that covers a lot of ground already.

You can say what you want about Reggie, but one thing that I admire about him is that he has guts. Hopefully he can leverage the assets he has at his disposal and make his claims a reality. All the highly successful businesses out there didn't get there just by "playing it safe" and making profits on "getting by". Reggie def. has the right mindset for the job. Only time will tell if he can put it into action.

Come the holidays, this game and ACIV will be mine!

@3wdiisu True, but I think never officially revealing it versus actually doing it will make the majority overlook it.

I never had any problems with the game besides frame rate issues in cut scenes and occasionally a few drops in game. It runs pretty good on Wii U IMO. Funny how the people that did the comparison never talked about this:

This is on the PS3 version. While I think this is technically a "glitch" it seems to be a PS3 exclusive glitch. While some haven't experienced this, if you look in the comments, there are many others that have. There's another video that isn't anywhere near this bad, but at times, its like he's playing the game in slow motion.

EDIT: Supposedly there was supposed to be a patch for this, but I don't know if it has been released yet for sure.

@3wdiisu But wasn't that all that DRM stuff about PS4 just speculation? Was anybody able to get Sony to admit it? (It really wouldn't surprise me at all if that was the original plan).

@unrandomsam Not defending @net34a or anything, but to be fair, most of the Wii U's launch games weren't native 1080p 60fps either...

EDIT: I'm pretty sure Killzone Shadow Fall is 1080p 60fps

I think this picture sums up the comments pretty nicely

EDIT: BTW, I'm the guy standing behind the dudes with megaphones.

I think Nintendo will be successful this generation. How many console's they sell is still widely up for debate. It should be interesting to see how the Xbox One fares since they put off a lot of people with their DRM crap (like me), even though they took it back.

Seemed decent to me. Reminds me of those commercials for kids trying to sell smart phones to their parents, even down to the cheesiness of it all (this one's probably cheesier though).

About the whole upgrade thing, if you think of it in the sense of, for example, "I'm going to upgrade from a PS3 to a PS4", then it makes sense. But I understand where you guys are coming from. Hopefully, this commercial gets decent airtime and can help get the word out.

What, a Nintendo game won the best game of a generation?!?!?

This is blasphemy, the title should have gone to GTA or Halo, not this game! What were they thinking....

But no really, glad this game won. It was great and it deserves it! Congrats to the Big N!!!

I hope Reggie comes to my city but I doubt it.

Glad to see that most of the people are stoked on here for him doing this. At least it's better than if he were to sit at his desk twiddling his thumbs doing nothing. I really like this idea of bringing games to the "average joe" like they did with E3 this year. It certainly won't hurt. But you can't please everybody and you know what they say:

Good to see the 3DS still maintaining momentum and the Wii U sales increasing. Hopefully these trends will continue a long ways down the road.

I think that once a larger amount of compelling games are released for the system and advertising picks up, the system will sell fine. I think my younger cousins are getting one this Christmas.

But yeah, I think counsmer confusion is still a big problem. A while ago when my parents bought me New Super Mario Bros. U for my birthday, the cashier wanted to make sure that my parents knew the game was for an all new system and not for the original Wii. Apparently they had a lot of returns for the game because people bought it and they couldn't play it on their original Wii system. XD

@Doma I was going to respond to your casuals statement yesterday, but it looks like @Captain_Balko beat me to it.

Without going on a tangent or anything. I think Nintendo is trying to strick a happy medium between catering to the casual and hardcore audience. For the "hardcore" you have games like COD, AC, Watch Dogs, Bayonneta, etc. For "casuals" you have games like Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party, Nintendo Land to an extent, the Wii Sports Club games coming in November, and maybe a few eshop titles. And you can't forget the Hello Kitty racing game. XD

In my honest opionion, I think the "hardcore" audience is gone after more this time around, since it seems like there's more of those types of games compared to the original Wii.

Don't see this as me saying "you're wrong". I'm just stating my point of view, and was looking for a freindly discussion.

@Turbo857 I think you're misreading @ecco6t9 comment.

ecco6t9 is saying that when Apple comes out and says we want to be different, everybody praises them. When Nintendo says just about the same thing, people start to trash them and say they're a bad company.

True. You never know how something will work out until you try it on yourself. It seems like Mr. Iwata has a pretty good outlook for conducting business.

"Nintendo is not good at competing so we always have to challenge [the status quo] by making something new, rather than competing in an existing market."

There, see. Even Iwata says that Nintendo has it's faults. I didn't think this was a big secret so I don't understand why everyone points them out as if it were some incredible revalation you discovered. To quote Forrest Gump, "that's all I have to say about that".

@everybody who wasn't impressed with the game before the new trailer.

Exactly why I don't listen to people who are currently saying the same thing about Smash Bros. Wii U & 3DS.

P.S. I'm psyched for this & Smash!

Really impressed with that screenshot in the title block.

Awesome! This is great news!! Glad he is back
@DarkKirby The characters have never been balanced. Let's wait till the game comes out and we can interact with it before we say anything. And thanks for the video.

@everyone These are just my opinions, please respect them.

Makes me glad I decided to preorder from GameStop this time around!

That's a creepy looking picture of Mr. Iwata

Looking forward to the direct tomorrow...

@Rafie I guess that makes me the only one that has no connection problems online (aside from when my internet connection drops at the most convenient times) *heavy sarcasm. There is almost no lag or none at all with the games I play online.

You are probably right though because every time I look at other players connection quality (Injustice for example) compared to mine, I'm the only one with all four bars. Everyone else is at one or zero bars.

But about the down time, I'm sure something good will come out of it. Whether it will be visible to us, the users, or not is a different question...

Great to hear! At least this should silence some of those that say Nintendo does not show a desire to up their tech. capabilities.

@ChessboardMan LOL. Wouldn't that be something?! XD

I sense a disturbance in the comments.

Also, do we even know what the character limit is yet?

At least the games that Miyamoto helped make didn't have extremely bad glitches in them and an online system with poor user authentication mechanisms. Can't say that about any of EA's games.

@thewayyouare It is? Thanks! Have to check that out then! XD

Awesome! Doesn't look like they fixed the connection though. . Won't be getting any extra maps until online is actually playable.

Agree with you guys. It will give me more time to play WWHD, Batman, and hopefully put a dent in the backlog of games I have to play.
