Re: Review: Alphadia (3DS eShop)

I wonder why Reggie hasn't tried lobbying to get any Lunar games on the 3DS. Is that one of the reasons why everyone keeps saying that he's such a huge, miserable failure?

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Was Wrong To Turn Its Back On The Wii Remote

The Wii remote was garbage, period. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nintendo should - as it once did - focus innovation on games (environments, structure, narrative, style, character, etc.), and less on hardware. Instead, it has shifted toward the opposite, leaving us with rehash after rehash of IPs, and tiresome hardware gimmicks.

Re: Twilight Princess HD Nearly Had Wii Remote Controls

The main reason I never finished TP was because I just got tired of the motion controls. This game was the point at which the novelty of the gimmick just wore off for me. In the words of Margaret Thatcher, "I [hate the Wii's motion controls, and I always will]."

Re: Soapbox: If Nintendo Took On Virtual Reality, Would It Be A Disaster Or Gaming's Holy Grail?

I would absolutely love to inhabit Hyrule or Zebes just as much as anyone, but I'm wary of Nintendo's approach to VR at this point.

Somewhat relatedly, I'd like to see Nintendo try to be innovative with its games, rather than with its hardware. It strikes me as self-defeating that they've come up with tiresome new gimmicks for its last couple platforms, only to produce the most conservative franchise games for them. To me, the success of the Wii seems like an accident; for what it was, it should have been as big a failure as the Wii U.
