Something is missing still from Miiverse. I like coming back to Miiverse to see and read Smash updates. I'll also read some posts on Super Metroid and view art from Art Academy, but other than that, I don't really post or care to read much of what others post.
I don't have the answer yet, but I believe a forum-like approach (topics with latest/most comments on top) would help. Also, the ability to post short videos would be great, too.
It almost sounds like Sak's about to die over this decision. Remember everyone, it's just a game. Whatever decisions are made, are made. Have fun with it either way.
(If you're reading this Nintendo, you know, downloadable characters and game updates can solve a lot of heartache and headache.)
Didn't expect cross-platform play so this news doesn't surprise/disappoint me. I did expect cross-platform compatibility, though, and that's what we're getting. I expect/hope a lot of stat tracking shared... hopefully to a cloud.
As much as I would want to support a third party game on Wii U, I would very likely buy GTA V on my 360 for the simple fact of online multiplayer with friends/family who also have a 360 and headset to communicate.
Looks OK, but I'm not convinced it would have done enough different to stand out from other FPSs. Yeah, the dash attacks and execution cuts are new, but those ideas alone wouldn't have been innovative enough to make this game stand out from other FPSs in my humble opinion.
Mr. Reed, you are a gifted writer, but with all due respect, I got almost nothing from this article in terms of Little Inferno's gameplay (the most important aspect of any game). How do you burn things? What is the challenge? What makes it fun?

Re: Shovel Knight Launches in North America on Wii U and 3DS eShops on 26th June
Hope it's groundbreaking if you dig me.
Re: PDP Confirms the GameCube-Inspired Wired Fight Pad For Wii and Wii U
I've always said that Smash Wii U should come with either:
1. GCN controller with USB connector or
2. Pro Controller
Hope it happens.
Re: This Foul-Mouthed Bomberman Clone Is Blowing Up The Wii U eShop Soon
I'd consider it... except for the foul language...
Re: Dead Pixel Entertainment Announces Sync, A Wii U Exclusive FPS Inspired By Metroid Prime
Hope it's great.

Anyone else have thoughts?
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Takes Us Through the Multifaceted Super Mario 3D Land Stage for Super Smash Bros.
Likely won't be a tournament-approved stage but still looks good. Getting excited.
Re: This Is What The Box Art For Mario Golf: World Tour On The 3DS Looks Like
Excited for the game, but May 2nd is such a far time away.
Re: Nicalis Boss Tyrone Rodriguez Thinks The Wii U GamePad Is "A Waste Of Time And Resources"
"Off-screen play would be amazing, if the screen wasn't a non-standard resolution."
It would be worse to have a "standard resolution" screen that doesn't also display widescreen games.
Re: Talking Point: The Watch_Dogs Wii U Delay Demonstrates That Major Third-Parties Are Walking Away
Nintendo failed in a number of ways, no doubt.
HOWEVER, I still predict a masterpiece will be made on Wii U. And that, my friends, is what we should ALL look forward to.
Re: Big Red Button's Bob Rafei Spills More Details On Sonic Boom For Wii U And 3DS
@RupeeClock Actually, that is pretty common.
Re: Review: Barbie Dreamhouse Party (Wii U)
@Philip_J_Reed
Barbie. Hands down. Miyamoto would agree.
Re: Video: Please Don't Let This Wii U Star Fox Footage Get Your Hopes Up
Didn't get me excited. Was it supposed to?
Re: Nintendo of America Confirms Thanksgiving Weekend Deals for 3DS and Wii U
@whitespy12 Good point.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Employee Discusses Work on "Tablet With Educational Games"
If this is true, it's nice to see Nintendo thinking outside the box.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Staff Reveal The Process Behind Choosing Which Games To Localise
I'd be interested in knowing more about this process they use to see if a product might be profitable.
Re: Weirdness: These "Anywhere Buttons" Look Daft Wherever You Are
I'm reading a lot of criticism, but it's actually not bad. If it works and games support it, I might use it for FPSs and the like.
Re: Feature: Great Nintendo 64 Multiplayer Games You May Not Have Played
Good list. Was hoping Battle Tanx made the list. Also, Wayne Gretsky 3D hockey is superb.
Re: The World's Most Scathing Video Game Critic May Be Warming To Wii U
Thing is, Wii U is not just a games console.
Re: Smash Bros. Melee EVO Tournament Broke Viewer Records
Doesn't surprise me.
Re: Ouya Heralds Emulation By Tweeting Image of Super Mario Bros.
Never had much interest in Ouya. The awful name doesn't help.
Re: Miyamoto: Pikmin 3 Has Become "The Ultimate Version of Pikmin 1"
In Shiggy we trust.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Won't Feature Cross-Platform Play Between Wii U and 3DS
Didn't expect cross-platform play so this news doesn't surprise/disappoint me. I did expect cross-platform compatibility, though, and that's what we're getting. I expect/hope a lot of stat tracking shared... hopefully to a cloud.
Re: Abandoned Pixel Perfect Punch-Out!! Book Has a Knockout Ending With Mike Tyson
Very nice story. Guys, people can change, and I believe Mike Tyson is one of those. How about a little remorse?
Re: Rumour: GTA V Has Been Tested On Wii U Dev Kits For Some Time
As much as I would want to support a third party game on Wii U, I would very likely buy GTA V on my 360 for the simple fact of online multiplayer with friends/family who also have a 360 and headset to communicate.
Re: Nintendo Sends Direct Wii U Marketing Message To Wii Owners
@MrWezzle Yes, the Wii U's biggest issue is it's name. It was a costly, costly mistake.
Re: GameFly Slaps June 30th Release Date On Game & Wario In North America
Sadly, I'm not that interested in this game. I hope the reviews are good.
Re: The Story of an Abandoned Mega Man FPS, Maverick Hunter, Emerges
Looks OK, but I'm not convinced it would have done enough different to stand out from other FPSs. Yeah, the dash attacks and execution cuts are new, but those ideas alone wouldn't have been innovative enough to make this game stand out from other FPSs in my humble opinion.
Re: Molyneux: "I Struggle To See Anything Amazing Coming Out Of Nintendo"
This article only leads me to believe that perhaps Molyneux struggles to see himself making anything amazing anytime soon.
