@LordGeovanni Sorry to ask, but about what kind of "untapped potential" are you talking in regards of the 3DS? It's extremely old hardware which struggles to run the new Pokemon games? It's 3D effect, which is barely used in games? Or it's size, which makes it more portable than the NS, although the XL versions of the 3DS are nearly as big as the Tablet if they are folded together.... Or do you mean dual screen play, which is used less and less with every release on the System?
Sorry to say this, but the 3DS is old tech in every aspekt. Yes, it's an awesome handheld and has awesome games, but there is one thing the 3DS dosn't have anymore and that's a future besides the NS (if the NS sells well, if not, they will spin the switch concept and hardware so long until the successor to the 3DS is born).
I think, that this year will be a really good last year for the 3DS. After that there won't be any more games from Nintendo (except for some really small titles perhaps). 3rd Partys will push some switch ports onto the 3DS in 2018, but it will be dead after that.
@jimi
again ... these consoles were on the market FOR 10 YEARS at this pont .... developers KNEW how to develop or port games to it, that's why it was easier and saver to port games to those systems instead of the WiiU ......
The PS3 got 3rd Party support while it sold bad, because Sony was supporting developers to ensure they got the ports .....
The WiiU uses (like any other console on PPC) a slightly tweaked version of PPC to fit the hardware better ....
Just because it's PPC at the base dose not mean it's easy to develop for it ... To top everything off and make your "it's easy to port to WiiU" (I said the opposite btw) the sinking ship it actually is ...
You do know, that the rest of the hardware should be considered while programming for a console do you? What's the biggest difference between PS360 and WiiU? Yes, the tablet controller which Nintendo wanted 3rd partys to actually use .... see the whole Ubisoft "Watchdogs" debacle ....
So yes, it was quite difficult to develop a game for the WiiU despite the seemingly similar architecture which was tweaked quite a bit to fit the WiiU's hardware .....
At the point the WiiU/PS4/XBO all were on the market you had the old veterans everybody knew the in's and out's off, the scaled down PCs (PS4/XBO) and the "same but extremely different" different kid which showed in it's time alone on the market, that it could not catch up to the Wii (gamedroughts, marketing fails)
So again, why the heck should a 3rd party developer without any knolage take the huge risk, to develop games for a platform which seemd to have a very slow start and is hard to develop for? Why would you invest in a console which could not deliver the profits the others could deliver?
It's easy (and we saw this) .... they didn't take the risk ....
And about the Wii .... being popular dose not guarantees "good" 3rd party support ..... it only guarantees the support, most of it will be bad, but there will be good stuff in this heep of games. As seen on the PS2. In terms of the number of games ... these two are not that different tbqh ....
seen here: http://www.vgchartz.com/platform/4/playstation-2/ http://www.vgchartz.com/platform/2/wii/
The Wii showed, that IF you have a gimmik that captures a wide range of peoples interests and is more or less easy to develop for ... then you don't need AAA-3rd partys. nothing more ...
The WiiU on the other hand showed, that your console WILL FAIL if it is not supported by 3rd partys and your gimmik dose not fit the above discription ....
The Wii got less support from 3rd partys in general, because the consumers on those consoles bought way more content that the ones on the Wii, you can see this if you look at the total sold software on those 3 consoles. The Wii was the best selling one, so no-one could really afford to ignore it, but the other two brought way higher profit margines to the table which lead to good support ..... this and MS and Sony bought ports and exclusives, because they could ....
You can see this here: http://www.vgchartz.com/platforms/
As said before, the PS360 sold each 80mil consoles in 10 years and the consumers seemd to be quite loyal to the platform and so bought more games .....
You can see this in the last postet links .... 20mil units less sold, but nearly as much software ....
@jimi
First of all ... the GC ...
You seem to ignor how popular the consoles were .... the PSP sold 80mil units, while the GC onle got 21mil.
The driving force behind a port to a specific console is the profit that can be made on said platform .... even if it costs twice as much to port it to the PSP, the installbase is 4 times that of the GC and so the possible profit is much bigger on PSP than on GC.
That is why the GC did not get much 3rd party support.
You want to know, why there were so many multi generation games in the early life of the PS4/XBO? You do know, that the PS3/XB360 were nearly 10 years on the market and it was realy easy to port games to them? You do know, that even to this day there are many XB360/PS3 consoles still in use? That's why their online services work to this day.
Yes, it was not only faster and easier to develop games for PS3/XB360 but it was safer too compared to the WiiU and even the PS4/XBO.
This is why nearly every game had a XB360/PS3 but no WiiU port.
You didn't even try to aproach the points I made about the Wii didn't you?
The only thing I said, was, that 3rd Partys had no choice here, because it was the best selling console in that generation.
I know, that most of the 3rd party offerings were crap, that comes with the territory of being "the best selling console of a particular generation" ..... the PS2 too had a crapton of shovelwarwe ....
The Wii got less 3rd party support, because
1. it sold less units
2. it's competition was actual competition which were actual good selling consoles (both 80mil units)
Capcom are idiots ... they showed that multiple times ..... not as bad as Konami, but still ....
@Project_Dolphin
Gamers .... is quite the misleading terminology ....
let's say consumer ok? not every consumer is a gamer in the sense, that he/she is really invested in the games ....
I say this, because this industry seems to be driven by hype. The generation of sellingpotential without actually showing what you are offering ..... The Wii and PS4 used this perfectly to only name the latest in console-history ....
I can say, that 3rd partys drive the consol industry, because they are the people generating the hype and they are the people who only do things, that don't need much money to be developed and can generate as much hype (=money) as possible. As long as a franchise can generate hype it is reused and so gets a sequal every year (FIFA, BF, COD .... what ever). If a frachise can't generate any or not enough hype it is terminated.
This leads into a releas-shedule which is not lead by the consumer who buy the stuff they do, but by a simple equation which takes generatable hype and used money/time into account ....
The gaming industry is so big, that there is a market for everyone and everything that you throw out there will be bought .... just look at the history of "Evolve" and how it ended for the consumer and the producer to see this in action ..... FIFA is another great exsample ....
The GC failed because it used minidiscs and the publishingfees were to high and because the marketing was crap ....
The WiiU failed because the marketing was crap, the console was extremely weak compared to PS4/XBO, because the tabletcontroller was more or less a useless gimmik (only a hand full of games actually profited from it) and it was hard to programm for because it used a different Architexture than the other two and even the last generation.
The Wii on the other hand succeded, because it was perfectly marketed, with the exact right userbase (casual gamers and non gamers), it was dirt cheap and it had a revolutionary new controller which was hyped to the moon and back ..... 3rd Partys had no other choice but to make their games for the Wii too, they would have made a profit even if just 10% of the userbase bought their games.....
What @SLIGEACH_EIRE meant (I guess) was, if the NX is not way more powerful than the PS4 it will get burried by the competition, because they already startet the TFLOPS pissing match with the Neo and the Scorpio. This (and possibly the crap marketing) can make the NX into a "DOA" (Dead on arival) console, without any big chance on the market.
The industry is driven by the big 3rd partys, not the consumer. If they don't like your console, they can afford to just skip it with their games. If your console has no 3rd party games it won't sell much. If it dosn't sell other developers will skip your console ...... it's that easy ....
I really hope, that this gets funded and Nintendo decides not to shut it down ... I would really like to see this, just because the Mother series is one of my all time favorites
If they are really doing this, I want a male Samus in my next Metroid game
I really don't see why this should be considered a huge step in "the right" direction .... The only thing they are goind to achive with this is making their characters less iconic .... which is the biggest sellingpoint Nintendo has at the moment ...
But as long as I don't know if the game is any good, I will just sit here and wait.
I can see, why Rocket League won "Multiplayer" because this game ist just pure bonkers online and I really like it ... But how the F*** did a "game" like Her Story win "Game Innovation"? I really don't see any reason why this game should win this award instead of Splatoon or Life is Strange ....
That looks kinda clunky .... If they really want to take Zelda to the future, they really should use the "dystopian future" trope and really bring that home. A dark theme would fit this better than nearly anything, but Nintendo dosen't like dark themes ....
I think, that I would buy a few of these if the quality is right.... My old controllers are really busted up when it comes to the Joystick and I just love the feeling of playing them on the original hardware ^^
I really hope, that this is true and the game is a true sequal to Paper Mario 64 and The Thousand Year Door, these games were fantastic! And I really didn't like the others .....
I love Turok .... best FPS games ever ... the first 3 and rage wars .... I love that they decided to "remake" these and I think it looks decent, but they should clean up the models and textures a bit more, but the animations are way better and I can immagine, that they increased the resolution to be 1080p and I hope the use 60FPS .... I hope, they remake Rage Wars too though .... loved that game
The opnly thing, that interests me about this game is the following ... Will I be able to download the aditional characters on my WiiU for free, for an obligatory sum of € or won't I be able to download them at all ....
@Freeon-Leon That's your personal taste and stuff ... I didn't like the Story, the sailing (waiting), the overstylised artstyle, the way to easy dungeons, most of the minigames and most of the characters ... As I said, there is only the fighting and Music left ... the fighting was cool I guess, but that's it ... I bought this game 2 times on full price ... First time with my GC because I was pretty hype about this game and it kicked me in the balls multiple times .... Second time with my WiiU because everybody and their dog was cumguzzeling about it and how it was "THE GAME" to play that winter .... and it kicked me in my balls slightly less than the original .... but still pretty hard if you ask me ...
@vitalemrecords And WW was a pretty poop game ... It look crap on the GC and still dose on the WiiU ... Yes cell shaded graphics age increadibly well, but that's only because you sacrafice detail while using it and highly stilising your visuals ... which isn't necesarily a bad thing ...
Overall, I really only liked the music in WW and I really don't want to see Nintendo repeat that ...
But I have to say, that I too don't understand the bitching about this game ... yes it looked kinda wired at E3, but I played it a thisyears Connichi and it was awesome and now the new trailer too looks way better, so I have no doubt that Nintendo and Platinum will find a way to let their magiv shine trough with this game ^^
Linkle is a kinda wierd one for me .... If she is handled like any other character inside the Zelda Universe that is not Link, which means, that she will get her own backstory, can talk and is only in spin off games, I'm complketly okay with this, because this is what makes sense to me about this .... ecxept for the name .... it's dumb and kinda misleading ... But if she is used instead of Link in future games I will have lost all respect I had for Nintendo ... this would be just bad and a slap in the face for all Zelda-fans ..,.
Firstly ... It's really good, that the Directs will continue and I'm really hyped about what they will show.
secondly .... why the heck do they still seperate their content? they really need to streamline this, no more different news for Japan/Europe/America, no more different release shedules and this stuff ....
thridly ... I really hope, that Kimishima will semi-host this direct for all regions
There seems to be nothing interesting about this game and I watched everything they showed us up until now. This game's only excuse for existing is selling more amiibo to use in a "game" that seems to have nothing interesting or even fun in it ....
I hope that I'm wrong because I hope that Nintendo won't stoop so low, but everything they said/showed about this game points exactly in this direction ....
If Nintendo would cooperate with Aple in making a gaming platform together I would most likely ..... stop using Nintendo Products which were made together with Aple ....
I really don't like Aple and how they do business. Their products are always extremely overpriced while not really anything better than the competition.
Playing against Japanese players comes with Lag ..... sometimes more than a second, which makes it really hard to actually play against them and makes the match just annoying ....
On the other side, they claim videos of reviws of their games from people they asked to review .... Nintendo dosn't seem to know what they are doing ^^"
WE NEED THIS IN EUROPE!! I really don't like these damn e-shop cards and I don't have a credit card, this would make my shoping expirience SOOOO much better! ^^
To this day, I am baffled by how shortsighted Nintendo had to be to let Rare go the way they did, even if a lot of people left, Rare still was one of the best Studios in the industry and with Nintendo's lead, Rare could have maintained this status, no doubt about that.
They really have to get their sh*t together ..... Nintendo has to have more western studios under their belt, Japanese nationalism or not, they need to be more diverse and I'm not only saying this because of this article .... They make good games, yes. But they have not enough studios making games for 3 platforms (HH, HC and Mobile) and they need to make games literally for everyone. Whit this I don't mean rated E games, but games that appeal to kids, other games that appeal to older gamers and other games that appeal to the "mature" or "sports" crowd ..... They can't ignore these crowds, because they are gigantic at the moment ...
@khaosklub
first off, Prime 3 was not the last metroid game released ... this honor goes to other M which wasn't as bad as everybody makes it seem to be.
secondly, I can understand why Nintendo is so cautiouse when it comes to Metroid .... there was just one metroid game that sold over 2 million copys ... the first prime game .... the other two didn't even manage to move that much on the Wii, a console with more than 100million units sold ...
Just for the record, Galaxy sold over 11 million copys (I know it's a bigger IP, but the complaining about spin offs is nearly non existent)
So for Nintendo to try something new with the Metroid franchise to expand on the Lore and to expand the franchises reach on the market seems to me like a brilliant move, especially because federation force is a spin off title, that (let's be honest) will most likely be a really good game.
I really don't understand how one can be so blockheaded ... It's a new Metroid game, yes. And it's a spin-off title ..... so why all the rage? It's just a Spin-off title, not the main line of games .... I really don't get the Metroid-Fanbase ....
I really hope that this manifests into actuall games after launche from 3rd partys AND some kind of interaction between Nintendo's hardware-department and 3rd partys.
To be honest, I would like to see Nintendo make a somewhat standard console with specs slightly higher than the PS4 with a totally new concept of an OS. One that binds every piece of hardware running it to one marketplace, one software library and one community. Scaling visuals up and down depending on the power of the hardware and making a transition from one gen to another a thing of the past by standardising the architecture and the OS, both of which will only be updated, but not replaced. This would mean, that new hardware inside these standardised lines could run every game of the older hardware.
But I really don't know how easy/hard this would be to be honest.
Interesting for them to releas this on the VC while they have the 3D version (which is superior in nearly every way) on the 3DS .... are they now trying to cut their own sales with their own software or are they just not that invested in what happens to the VC? I would rather see more games in general that are a biot more obscure on tthe VC .....
Why are Fatal Frame and Devil's Third missing everywhere? I know that Fatal Frame just got a "Autum" releasedate but why is it not on this road map? ANd I know too, that Devils Third is releasing in december in japan ... when do we get to play it here?
I hope not .... Why is it, that ever male character needs to be gender swapped nowadays? I prefer male Link and it worked for so many years with him being male, so why change that? I know that I will get the question "His gender dosn't matter either way because he is a dofferent reincarnation of the Hero every time, so why not make him female in the next game?" My awnser to that would be: "If it really dosn't matter why not leave Link like he is at the moment? Secondly, he may be a different reincarnation of the old hero and technically a different person in nearly every new Zelda game, but all in all he is the same character every time isn't he? It's always Link either way .... If you really wanted a female character in a mainline Zelda game, why not use Zelda herselfe?"
The next Metroid game made by Platinum Games anyone? I'm calling it now folks, prepare your jimmys because Nintendo and PG will rustle them for shure ;P
I hope that this means that there will be no Smash 4 during E3 ..... I know how good this game is, you don't have to waste time during E3 talking about it ....
They should be cautiouse while making the game bigger, because their bigges game on the N64 was the worst they made .... Backtracking The game was not fun .... for me at least
Looks really good, but dose this hase to be an episodical format? .... I really don't like stuff like that ... but if the price is right, I might take the jump this time ^^
I had quite some hope for this game to come to the WiiU .... Seems like they had no plans for it from the beginning .... I'm a bit sad for the people backing this game becdause they wanted a WiiU version ....
I hope that they see this as a sing to upgrade their servers, because I think, that the Servers would be even worse off after launche .... I think, that even more people than the mass that tried to play last night want to play it after launch, so their servers would be massivly overused and couldn't keep up as they are now.
I know that Nintendo is kinda slow when it comes to stuff like this, but they have 5 days left to ramp up their Servers-recourses and power and they really need to do this.

Re: Kimishima on the Role of the 3DS After the Switch Launch
@LordGeovanni
Sorry to ask, but about what kind of "untapped potential" are you talking in regards of the 3DS?
It's extremely old hardware which struggles to run the new Pokemon games?

Re: Art: If Nintendo Did Resurrect The Game Boy, We'd Want It To Look Like This
I would buy this tbh ... I always liked the "one-screen"-handhelds way more than the "two-screens" ones ....
Re: Video: See the Differences Between Star Fox Zero at E3 and Now
@Freeon-Leon That's your personal taste and stuff ...
I didn't like the Story, the sailing (waiting), the overstylised artstyle, the way to easy dungeons, most of the minigames and most of the characters ...
As I said, there is only the fighting and Music left ... the fighting was cool I guess, but that's it ...
I bought this game 2 times on full price ...
First time with my GC because I was pretty hype about this game and it kicked me in the balls multiple times ....
Second time with my WiiU because everybody and their dog was cumguzzeling about it and how it was "THE GAME" to play that winter .... and it kicked me in my balls slightly less than the original .... but still pretty hard if you ask me ...
Re: Video: See the Differences Between Star Fox Zero at E3 and Now
@vitalemrecords And WW was a pretty poop game ... It look crap on the GC and still dose on the WiiU ... Yes cell shaded graphics age increadibly well, but that's only because you sacrafice detail while using it and highly stilising your visuals ... which isn't necesarily a bad thing ...
Overall, I really only liked the music in WW and I really don't want to see Nintendo repeat that ...
But I have to say, that I too don't understand the bitching about this game ... yes it looked kinda wired at E3, but I played it a thisyears Connichi and it was awesome and now the new trailer too looks way better, so I have no doubt that Nintendo and Platinum will find a way to let their magiv shine trough with this game ^^
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks Are Available Now on the Wii U eShop in Europe
Why are they on the eshop? They were sooo bad~!
Re: Hyrule Warriors Legends Gets a Release Date and 'Female Link', Linkle
Linkle is a kinda wierd one for me ....
If she is handled like any other character inside the Zelda Universe that is not Link, which means, that she will get her own backstory, can talk and is only in spin off games, I'm complketly okay with this, because this is what makes sense to me about this .... ecxept for the name .... it's dumb and kinda misleading ...
But if she is used instead of Link in future games I will have lost all respect I had for Nintendo ... this would be just bad and a slap in the face for all Zelda-fans ..,.
Re: The Next Nintendo Direct is on 12th November
Firstly ... It's really good, that the Directs will continue and I'm really hyped about what they will show.
secondly .... why the heck do they still seperate their content? they really need to streamline this, no more different news for Japan/Europe/America, no more different release shedules and this stuff ....
thridly ... I really hope, that Kimishima will semi-host this direct for all regions

Re: Nintendo Has Unannounced Wii U And 3DS Titles Ready For Launch Before The Year End
If these "unanounced titles" are just like Happy Home Designer and Amiibo Festival they don't need to bother showing them tbh ...
Re: Nintendo Attempts to Show the Fun Side of Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival as amiibo Bundles Are Confirmed
There seems to be nothing interesting about this game and I watched everything they showed us up until now.
This game's only excuse for existing is selling more amiibo to use in a "game" that seems to have nothing interesting or even fun in it ....
I hope that I'm wrong because I hope that Nintendo won't stoop so low, but everything they said/showed about this game points exactly in this direction ....
Re: Rumours and Speculation Stir Over Potential Involvement of Nintendo with Apple TV
If Nintendo would cooperate with Aple in making a gaming platform together I would most likely ..... stop using Nintendo Products which were made together with Aple ....
I really don't like Aple and how they do business. Their products are always extremely overpriced while not really anything better than the competition.
Re: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Hits Europe on 29th October
What I want to know now is, if the Wii U and new N3DS will get afterbirth too .... would be REALLY cool ^^
Re: Some Western Splatoon Players Would Prefer Not To Compete With Japan
Playing against Japanese players comes with Lag ..... sometimes more than a second, which makes it really hard to actually play against them and makes the match just annoying ....
Re: Nintendo Recruits YouTube Celebrities for Its Super Mario Maker 'Super Creator Challenge'
On the other side, they claim videos of reviws of their games from people they asked to review ....
Nintendo dosn't seem to know what they are doing ^^"
Re: Space Hulk Finally Docking With The Wii U eShop This Christmas
YES! I will get this as soon es it is released!
This will be fun, I tell you! ^^

I really don't like these damn e-shop cards and I don't have a credit card, this would make my shoping expirience SOOOO much better! ^^
Re: Super-Hard Platformer Volgarr The Viking Set To Pillage Wii U And 3DS eShops

Can't wait for it to release on the WiiU ^^
Re: Rare Co-Founder Has No Idea Why Nintendo Didn't Buy The Studio Outright
To this day, I am baffled by how shortsighted Nintendo had to be to let Rare go the way they did, even if a lot of people left, Rare still was one of the best Studios in the industry and with Nintendo's lead, Rare could have maintained this status, no doubt about that.
Re: The Legend of Legacy is Coming to Europe... in Winter 2016
I mainly game on WiiU and PC, so I am inclined to just leave this be, but if it sparks my interest near it's launch date I may as well buy it ^^"
Re: Project H.A.M.M.E.R. Exposé Reveals Torrid State Of Affairs At Nintendo Software Technology
They really have to get their sh*t together .....
Nintendo has to have more western studios under their belt, Japanese nationalism or not, they need to be more diverse and I'm not only saying this because of this article .... They make good games, yes. But they have not enough studios making games for 3 platforms (HH, HC and Mobile) and they need to make games literally for everyone. Whit this I don't mean rated E games, but games that appeal to kids, other games that appeal to older gamers and other games that appeal to the "mature" or "sports" crowd ..... They can't ignore these crowds, because they are gigantic at the moment ...
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Asks for Fan Trust With Metroid Prime: Federation Force
@khaosklub
first off, Prime 3 was not the last metroid game released ... this honor goes to other M which wasn't as bad as everybody makes it seem to be.
secondly, I can understand why Nintendo is so cautiouse when it comes to Metroid .... there was just one metroid game that sold over 2 million copys ... the first prime game .... the other two didn't even manage to move that much on the Wii, a console with more than 100million units sold ...
Just for the record, Galaxy sold over 11 million copys (I know it's a bigger IP, but the complaining about spin offs is nearly non existent)
So for Nintendo to try something new with the Metroid franchise to expand on the Lore and to expand the franchises reach on the market seems to me like a brilliant move, especially because federation force is a spin off title, that (let's be honest) will most likely be a really good game.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Asks for Fan Trust With Metroid Prime: Federation Force
I really don't understand how one can be so blockheaded ...
It's a new Metroid game, yes. And it's a spin-off title ..... so why all the rage? It's just a Spin-off title, not the main line of games .... I really don't get the Metroid-Fanbase ....
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Director Defends Absence of Female Playable Characters
I find it rather depressing/saddening that he actually has to defent the game JUST because there is no female Link option .....
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Pitched NX To Third Parties During E3 2015
I really hope that this manifests into actuall games after launche from 3rd partys AND some kind of interaction between Nintendo's hardware-department and 3rd partys.
To be honest, I would like to see Nintendo make a somewhat standard console with specs slightly higher than the PS4 with a totally new concept of an OS. One that binds every piece of hardware running it to one marketplace, one software library and one community. Scaling visuals up and down depending on the power of the hardware and making a transition from one gen to another a thing of the past by standardising the architecture and the OS, both of which will only be updated, but not replaced.
This would mean, that new hardware inside these standardised lines could run every game of the older hardware.
But I really don't know how easy/hard this would be to be honest.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is Hitting the Wii U Virtual Console Very Soon
Interesting for them to releas this on the VC while they have the 3D version (which is superior in nearly every way) on the 3DS .... are they now trying to cut their own sales with their own software or are they just not that invested in what happens to the VC?
I would rather see more games in general that are a biot more obscure on tthe VC .....
Re: Nintendo's E3 'Roadmap' Infographic Shows Off Upcoming Releases on Wii U and 3DS
Why are Fatal Frame and Devil's Third missing everywhere?
I know that Fatal Frame just got a "Autum" releasedate but why is it not on this road map?
ANd I know too, that Devils Third is releasing in december in japan ... when do we get to play it here?
Re: Rumour: Could Female Link Be In Hyrule Warriors On 3DS?
I hope not ....
Why is it, that ever male character needs to be gender swapped nowadays?
I prefer male Link and it worked for so many years with him being male, so why change that?
I know that I will get the question "His gender dosn't matter either way because he is a dofferent reincarnation of the Hero every time, so why not make him female in the next game?"
My awnser to that would be:
"If it really dosn't matter why not leave Link like he is at the moment? Secondly, he may be a different reincarnation of the old hero and technically a different person in nearly every new Zelda game, but all in all he is the same character every time isn't he? It's always Link either way ....
If you really wanted a female character in a mainline Zelda game, why not use Zelda herselfe?"

Re: Nintendo Announces Special Video Presentation for Super Smash Bros., Hosted by Masahiro Sakurai

I know how good this game is, you don't have to waste time during E3 talking about it ....
Re: Reggie Has Been Pushing For Binding Of Isaac To Come To Nintendo Consoles Since 2012
I really love Reggie for this ... this game is so damn good and I will get this on my WiiU as soon as it releases ^^
Re: Playtonic Wants Yooka-Laylee To Eclipse Banjo-Kazooie When It Comes To Sheer Size

Re: Project CARS Studio Boss Admits to Problems With Wii U Version, Hoping For Nintendo Hardware Announcement at E3
I had quite some hope for this game to come to the WiiU ....
Seems like they had no plans for it from the beginning ....
I'm a bit sad for the people backing this game becdause they wanted a WiiU version ....
Re: Splatoon Global Testfire Suffers Major Problems in Final Pre-Launch Session
I hope that they see this as a sing to upgrade their servers, because I think, that the Servers would be even worse off after launche ....
I think, that even more people than the mass that tried to play last night want to play it after launch, so their servers would be massivly overused and couldn't keep up as they are now.
I know that Nintendo is kinda slow when it comes to stuff like this, but they have 5 days left to ramp up their Servers-recourses and power and they really need to do this.
