Local multiplayer always trumps online multiplayer but sometimes it is hard to actually get several people together to play a game due to different schedules which is where online could come into play.
Miyamoto sure as heck hasn't been messing up, Sticker Star was only considered bad because of the removal of RPG elements because he wanted to keep things different and Pikmin 3 has to be the best Pikmin game to date, and he has his new "project" that will be announced soon so I don't really consider that messing up especially at his age.
I had my doubts and actually voted before I had played it today but I found it to be alright, still a little out of the usual for me though but I would definitely purchase it if it came out on the Wii U.
I'm sure there'll be plenty of trophies/stickers/whatever Sakurai adds as collectibles in the next Smash Bros of Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 and that much is certain. If the characters get in that'd be awesome though, I think Wonderful 101 characters will have a much better chance than Bayonetta though, they would just feel right if they were in Smash Bros and i'm not sure I could say the same for Bayonetta.
This in a nutshell explained my thoughts of the launch lineups regarding all systems, including the Wii U, luckily though now the Wii U is getting those titles we've been waiting for whereas the next systems are just starting their software libraries.
I recently picked up a vita and I have to say I strongly believe the 3DS offers better experiences, but I am also glad I picked up the vita because I understand there'll be games that come to the vita that the 3ds won't get and vice versa. The main drawback to the Vita though is the ridiculously priced memory cards.
This is awful, I'm glad I picked mine up before this whole mess of the game becoming rare. I originally picked up a crappy used copy with those annoying stickers on the front but I found out a Gamestop nearby still had 1 shrinkwrapped copy so I exchanged it for that one. Gamestop would take advantage of the rarity of a game like this.
I'm doing Wii U + PS4 in terms of home-consoles this generation of gaming, mainly to fill the gap for Wii U releases and for some third party games I really wanted like Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III.
This ones definitely one i'd pick over the other XL's since they're probably already sold out, but i'll be waiting for if theres another special edition XL before I hop on this one.
Seems like a smart move, it could help bring on more mature titles to the Wii U and it would be very interesting to see what kinds of exclusives they could bring to the system.
At this point it looks good but I always like to test what i'm gonna buy, especially when it comes to a game raised from a Kickstarter or even an indie game, hopefully it will come out with a demo when it releases.

Re: EA Executive: Shigeru Miyamoto is 'Falling Down on the Job'

Re: Hideki Kamiya "Would Be Honoured" If One Of His Creations Made It Into Smash Bros.

Re: Nintendo's Scott Moffitt: 3DS and Vita Have Very Different Strategies For Portable Play
I recently picked up a vita and I have to say I strongly believe the 3DS offers better experiences, but I am also glad I picked up the vita because I understand there'll be games that come to the vita that the 3ds won't get and vice versa. The main drawback to the Vita though is the ridiculously priced memory cards.

Re: GameStop Accused of Re-Printing Xenoblade Chronicles, Then Selling as "Used" For $90
