Nintendo UK really seems to know what they're doing. Too bad the constantly failing Reggie and his circus of insanity don't seem able to take note.

I wonder what would happen if HQ put NOA on the same standard as NOK. Reggie's flaming pile of garbage would be out on the street. Kyoto must be so ashamed that they hired him; I feel sorry for them.

NOE consistently makes NOA look like a miserable pile of garbage. Note to Reggie.

Sounds promising.

The Super Stable 3D works great for me. I use full 3D effects most of the time. Love it.

Sounds great. Sign me up.

Another classic.

Looks promising.

@BOBdotEXE Yeah, I agree with you. It had the worst sound of all time. Complete garbage.

I bought a New 3DS soon after it was released, and have been very happy with it ever since.

IGN's Jose Otero more astutely pointed out this game's astonishing number of failings. Complete garbage; deserves its own landfill.

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.

Beautiful little piece of hardware. Only downside was the sound; too crunchy and tinny.

Everyone is really angry and bitter about this. I don't think they'll ever jump onboard, not in a million years.

This is exactly the kind of deranged thinking that led to the disastrous Sykes-Picot Agreement. Everyone is saying they're not going to buy games from companies that cave to pressure from Nintendo like this.

Anger is one of our most primal emotions.

Someone needs to tell Nintendo to take "abuse our consumer base" out of its business plan.

This is going to be an even bigger failure than the Wii controller. 20 years from now, there'll be a documentary about which landfill Nintendo dumped all of its NX controllers into.

Reggie? Is that guy still around? What a joke.

What a scam. This is disgusting.

This is hideous and disgusting. I'm going to be sick. What a complete disaster. When will the cycle of failure end?

After this announcement was made, 16 brutal assaults and 2 murders were committed in Chicago.

I wonder if he won that argument with his son.

Sometimes mysteries are really fun! Like that time I couldn't find my wife. Turned out she had divorced me six years before.

Too bad Yoshi's New Island was such a pile of leavings. I had high hopes for that game. The original SNES adventure got everything right - and, might I add, had the best final boss in the entire series up to that point.

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]."

I think I have stomach cancer.

What is that thing? What is it?

Why did I forget to lock the closet door this morning? It cost me my life.

Wish, wish. There is sometimes an idea, and sometimes not. How are you feeling today, my son? I miss you so much.

Control is keeping many people from going away. I look around and see this everywhere. What are they having for dinner?

It is said that when a group comes together, they only find terror in their hearts.

Why does everyone keep screaming? I am losing my appetite. Let us all wish for more.

Beautiful.

Gosh, everyone keeps saying Nintendo is a lying, cheating scam company. I don't know, I just don't know.

I can't believe everyone keeps saying that Nintendo is a lousy failure of a company, barely holding on to shreds of its former self, that it sadly chases gimmickry over true innovation, that it ignores its dwindling fan base, that its management is blind and deaf, that it can't make good games anymore, that it scares little children. I feel very bad.

Geez, we get it already. Nintendo is a big pile of garbage. There, happy now?

Thank God for Atlus. They're the Ozu of video games.

Nintendo yet again dumps on its core fanbase. Such resolute confusion on their part bodes ill for the company's future.

Thank god for Atlus. Without them, the 3DS would be a portable N64 in terms of third-party support.

Although I'm sure Nintendo won't do a damn thing differently, good for Mahler for voicing some valid criticism.

Feels like we're back in the N64 days. Long periods of drought, and then every so often, a chicken leg falls from the table.

Another whole lotta garbage.

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.

Friday Monsters is an awesome game for anyone who loves Japanese culture. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Was looking forward to FFE, but the reviews have been so tepid, I'll pass.

When I read "VC game" in the headline, for some reason I thought for 3DS. What an absurd idea that was.

No surprises here.

Good editorial, Tom. Hear, hear.

Another bunch of nothing for the 3DS - and amazingly, I'm still not used to it! I keep expecting something good to be released, but nope, Nintendo doesn't seem to give a hoot. Curious too, since it seems hell-bent on releasing as many VC games for the Wii U as it can, a system which is currently on death row, rather than the system of theirs that still has some mileage left.
