@Cyberbotv2 I feel the same with the other guys. Sure there are like tow games on PS4 which my brother and I will not be picking up because there is no point in buying one just for a couple of games. Other than Final Fantasy 15 and Persona 5 there is nothing else that really catches my eye. We also have an Xbox One but we dont even use it at all nor have any games for it the same thing I feel about the games on PS4 I feel the same with Xbox One there is nothing that catches my eye there too. I used to go buy sports games like FIFA until I started to notice that the games all looked the same just look prettier like an example EA released FIFA 11 then they released FIFA 12 right out the door but FIFA 12 looked exactly similar to FIFA 11 all they did was they added roster changes and made it look prettier. EA could have added those changes with DLC but they did not. I have seen some other companies that are guilty with this too. You may not be interested in Wii U but ever since I got mine I have been having loads of fun with mine my brother too and even my friend he got convinced in buying one. Its where I can just sit on my chair and just play.
@electrolite77 This is just going in circles. If third parties want sales to improve in Nintendo's consoles they need to actually change things up. If there is a third party game that is being sold on Wii U and it is a lesser version than what is on the other platforms why would I buy a low quality game that has less features and modes? They have been doing this for awhile now they have been blaming Nintendo fans for not buying their games. Its like this if my worker is working on renovating a customers house and it took more time and money to finish should I blame the customer for that? No its not their responsibility its not their problem to handle it,it is mine I cant just blame all this to the customer. There is also where some of them have been poking at Nintendo at times. If they dont actually spend time on making their games on Nintendo consoles then things will not change. When the Wii U launched lots of third parties were on board but after they just jumped off and said adios. I am a Nintendo fan but I also play other games too but if third parties keep on doing all this and not actually spend time on making their games better then I will not buy any of them because its just a waste of money on a inferior game.
@Superryanworld Well it is what I mentioned before. Third parties blame the sales of their games at Nintendo fans (that's what I mean no class) They expect us to buy their games when they blame us and and less features to the Nintendo version of the game. I understand that Nintendo needs some of them to make games but the way things are going I don't think it will happen. Third parties makes games with less features with little to no DLC then we don't buy the games because of it then they blame us for their sales. They are saying things that we don't want third party games. This is a cycle they do not see.
@Superryanworld Not saying that third party support is bad but I dont think we will ever have good third party support. Also trying to blame the fans for their poor sales (no class) and not making their games the same version with all the features on each platform. Those are some of the reasons why I dont buy much of third party games because of what they have been doing.
@Windy That happens when you are under stress like Nintendo is in and making some mistakes in the process. As long as they are making money now with Wii U things should be fine with Nintendo. I just hope this turns into an alert for Nintendo because things could have been much worse for them. Just hope they learn from the mistakes they have made and pick it up.
@EngieBengie I also feel the same. I have so many games on my Wii U and more coming I very excited for what is coming in 2015. Over on the other consoles yeah there are lots of games but there is very little for me to buy that interest me really. My bro and I have an Xbox One but ever since we got it we have not touched a finger on the consoles because the selection of exciting fun games is poor. We dont have a PS4 yet probably not going to get one probably for a good long while because again there is nothing there on PS4 that has that ''wow'' fun factor.
@Superryanworld Yeaaah that is not going to happen. I think third party support is all history now. Especially the way third parties have been doing things like pointing fingers on poor sales.
@UntoldLegend Thats because they dont sit down in the meeting room and think about the bad things and what can actually benefit them. Like these youtubers are doing free advertizing for them. What company wouldnt love that?
@Yorumi you folks seem to have low confidence on things these days. Mega Man X6 only had almost one year in development and that game turned out great. Just wait until they show it before you guys judge the game.
@Yorumi I thought you said it was being compared to Wii? And you may be mind blown with what I am gonna say but I actually had trouble in MK8 especially in mirror mode. I even had trouble in MK Wii too. I am serious with what I am telling you.
@Yorumi Well the name for starters they should have named it something else its too late now to do anything about it. The poor marketing and advertising it got I explained ways they could have done a better job which is advertise it during big events where lots of people watch like the Super Bowl and like the FIFA World Cup. And well the games they had at start they had little I actually didnt buy mines until late 2013 because of it . People may think I am crazy when I say this but I think the Wii U surpasses the SNES as my favorite console of all time because of the games it has plus I love the gamepad. Which is the reason why I am sticking with Nintendo this gen because with what the others offer there isnt much that makes me go out and buy their consoles.
@jjmesa16 Why do you pay attention to it?? Just stay out of it and ignore it like I do and what I have been basically been doing since the SNES which is playing my games and not pay attention to all of this. If you do this then It wont bother you. My advice is just stay out of it and ignore it.
@Yorumi What you said to jjmesa16 about the games. And how people seem to forget the problems Nintendo did to destroy the success the Wii U could have had which I explained to you it has nothing to do with anything else.
@Yorumi You guys is logic is somewhat confusing. Although part of it has to do with the fact that Nintendo made a mistake at Naming it Wii U to begin with. Also I think they should have waited until the rest release their consoles then make changes to their own. Also the lineup at launch for Wii U was poor they should have had more games available plus most of the games were delayed. Lastly they should have went hard to market and advertise the console I probably have better ways of marketing the console more than Nintendo like advertise it during big events where lots of people watch (cough Super Bowl cough cough) (cough FIFA World Cup and Concacaf Gold Cup cough) . But then again I guess selling more units is more important than profits.
@darthllama You are right about the online part along with the marketing and advertising part too but not so much on the other points. If I were Nintendo I would have just wait until the rest reveal their consoles then make changes to theirs. The games the Wii U offers is why I am only sticking with them this gen because outside of Persona and Final Fantasy 15 there is nothing else out there that makes me go out and buy a PS4 plus its too much as it is right now. No way am I gonna spend almost 400 bucks just for tow games. Maybe if they had crash bandicoot and a Mega man x collection maybe we will talk.
@Yorumi Well then idk what to tell you. Because you seem to say that DK games are similar to how Mario games are or like Sonic games. Even though they are 2D Platformers they have a lot of differences. Like Mario cannot run fast or climb trees or like DK cannot run fast or even jump really high. What you are describing with Nintendo I feel the same with what is on other platforms. Most of them dont have tons of new creative things. And mostly when doing that it isnt always going to turn out great. Again I am not saying the games from the other platforms are bad its just they are not exciting or exhibit something new like what you seem to describe I just cant seem to get into playing those games most of them are not my cup of tea. Nintendo games when I play them they are fun really fun which is why I comeback to play them again those other games dont have that same magic that Nintendo games have. They are interesting games its just they dont have that fun factor that Nintendo games have. Lastly adding something new doesnt always work look at the people that tried to change MP in MP 9 and look what happened. They seem to be doing the same with MP 10 currently even Sonic boom for example they changed a lot of things that they thought that might stick and it ended up being horrible. You may have some problems with that but Nintendo games are fun and I comeback to them I dont feel the same with others. Finally,you cant always expect something new all the time.
@Yorumi Sorry for the little rant. I am serious about scratching my head and thinking for a sec. I really dont understand how could people see it like that. Like the samsung phone iphone example. Similar to that except these are games.
@Yorumi It might seem that way for you but to me and like others I know dont see it that way. When people say ''The games are like the same elsewhere'' I just sit back and just think for a sec do people really think this way?? So you are basically telling me that there are games that are similar to how Sonic games are? I really just scratch my head when people say things like that I mean it seriously. Its like worse than those people that again think that a samsung phone looks like an iphone where it does not actually look like one. Then I ask myself I dont understand how people can even think like this. I play Nintendo games because they are fun and I like what they offer. You guys cant always expect ''Oh since we already made one splatoon game why dont we just drop it and make something new even though it could take us weeks,because thats all people want something new. RIght? Right?'' Seriously its mind boggling.
@Yorumi I understand what you are saying. But to me there isnt anything on the other tow consoles that even interest me. Even my brother who is a PS fan agrees with me he even plays my Wii U more than his PS3. He might get a PS4 sometime probably in like 4 or 5 years because Final Fantasy 15 is the only game he seems to be interested in he isnt gonna spend $400 for just one game. Back then I used to play my PS along with my Nintendo consoles GC or the N64 and PS had tons of great games like persona 4 and 3,Crash Bandicoot (CTR),Spyro The Dragon,Jak and Daxter these games were really fun and great and now I dont see those kinds of games like that on PS and Xbox anymore so now I decided to go Nintendo only this gen because there isnt really anything I want in the PS4 and Xbox One's lineup. Dont get me wrong they have lots of great games but they are not my cup of tea. With the Xbox I would play sports games like Madden or Fifa plus the controller works excellent with those games but after every new Madden and Fifa that comes out it just looks the same as the previous games that came before it just looks prettier with nothing new added so I stopped playing those plus the online on those were pretty terrible even though I had a strong connection. Ever since those games I used to play back then are gone I have lost interest in playing PS now the only game I own with my PS3 is Sonic Generations.
@Superryanworld I understand that but changing to a new management or releasing a new console really quickly isnt gonna turn things around. Plus Its not the people themselves that decide that its the board within the company that has that decision and I am pretty sure they said Iwata is gonna stay. I understand Nintendo is in a tight spot but what I am really concerned about is Nintendo making money. They are making money with the Wii U and 3DS and their games as long as they are making money they will be fine. The most important part in business is making money and if a company isnt making any money then they will be forced to opt out. You could be selling more than your competition but with no profit in return. The virtual boy sold so little but Nintendo managed to swoop in profit. The Gamecube sold less than the competition but still made good profit. Sony and MS last gen have recorded losses with their consoles even though they sold tons of PS3 and 360 consoles. MS lost like $3 Billion last gen with the 360. Now both are making a profit even though it is small.
@Quorthon Which goes back to Nintendo. Nintendo fans wouldnt have to go and purchase them from scalpers if Nintendo would make more of them. People want these amiibos therefore Nintendo should make more each batch. Not just (oh here you go here is wave 4 no more until we feel like making more)
@Superryanworld PS+ and Xbox Live are great but having to pay for online can get expensive especially me. Not to long ago the reason I would buy Xbox Live was to go and play online I have had terrible experiences with that kicking me out of online matches not letting me go online (even though I had a real stable internet connection) it was getting annoying. There would be times that I wouldnt play online for months I feel that I just wasted $50 that I could have used on a game or get myself a pizza meal. Yeah the free games thing is nice but when you decide to opt out of the service they are gone so that sucks. That is why I mostly stick to my PS3 and Wii U with my 3DS for online since I dont have to pay just to go online to play against other players. It may not be a big deal to you but to everybody else like me are not going to spend money just to play online that is one of the reasons I liked Sony because they didnt make you pay but now you do and I am not gonna spend $50 just to go and play online. It adds up over time!
@Superryanworld Those games do not compare to what you get on a console. People have been saying even when smartphones came in that it was gonna ruin their profits but nope they are still making profits. Believe me I have played many games on the app stores those are just quick time wasters. I have seen this else where too mostly people that bash Nintendo a lot.
I like the amiibo party mode with the use of amiibo in Mario Party 10 but from the looks of it,its gonna be another wasted opportunity to make a really good Mario party after those awful Mario Party games 8 and 9 were. And I expected more amiibo use in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker rather than just finding a sprite of toad. That is pretty depressing.
@ikki5 sadly its amiibo party along with bowser party and Mario party. There is no mode without the car. Looks like another chance at redeeming themselves by making a really good Mario Party wasted.
@Hy8ogen But you see that's the problem. If Nintendo would have made more of these then people wouldnt have to go and buy them from scalpers if they really wanted them. It will discourage the scalpers from buying them thus realize they lost a ton of money buy doing so. But of course Nintendo does not think about these kinds of situations.
@Bolt_Strike When ever there is a upcoming direct I lower my expectations. If Nintendo says the next direct will be focused on a certain game or focused on games we already know about they are only gonna focus on those. Besides isnt it during E3 where they come out blasting us with new games and showering us with suprises? But oh well some actually liked the direct and there are others who are disappointed about this direct and did not like it. I personally enjoyed the direct but there will always be tow sides. Oh well.
I am actually excited about MP 10. But what I really hope they changed the ''Playing little to no mini games'' to having to play mini games after everyone has had their turn. Mini games are a vital part to MP why would you change it? You have to be lucky to play mini games in MP 9 and that is a terrible idea. Who ever thought about that really needs to get fired.
@electrolite77 Hey every company does it. They dont actually sit back and think about the good and the bad. I sometimes wonder are they even thinking at all over there?
I really liked this direct. I actually have some faith that MP 10 might be really good. I am also excited about that Mario vs Donkey Kong game too along with the New 3DS even the Puzzles and Dragons game I am really excited about this game.
@FlaygletheBagel So just because of this direct? Seriously? Geez there is little that these companies can do to please gamers these days. Maybe next time lower your expectations a bit again this is a direct about the games for the latter part of spring along with the New 3DS. When ever there is a direct I lower my expectations and not go overboard by thinking about things that will end up not showing up the way you want them to. Its like Sonic fans SEGA gives them an awesome game but its not good enough then they whine that they want something totally new SEGA delivers and does it yet Sonic fans still complain and whine on why SEGA changed the formula for Sonic. The whining never stops. Oh well what can you do.
@electrolite77 Well there is little to none that interest me on the other consoles its also because those games are not my cup of tea. Even my older brother who likes PS a lot also agrees he hasnt even got himself a PS4 and probably wont buy one probably like in 4 years because outside of Final Fantasy 15 there is literally nothing that is interesting for him and for me that makes us want to go out and get a PS4. He plays on his PS3 along with my Wii U more because again outside of Final Fantasy 15 there is nothing interesting to play. Maybe if they had another Mega man collection maybe but other than that there is like little to nothing.
@markybbop Well I remember when the GC had good Third party support but that didnt help the gamecube nor the sales for the games. I only got like 5 games from the batch of Third party games for the GC one of them being Rayman and Sonic adventure 2 and the Mega man collection lastly glitch in the system along with spy hunter the rest didnt look pleasing to me. I am a sports fan and ended up getting Fifa 10-12 and Madden NFL 12 when they released FIFA 13 and NFL 25 they looked the same for the previous versions of those games they only made the newer ones prettier adding some new in games engines without improving much in terms of online which was kind of terrible. From the 9 games in my Wii U library I only have 1 third party game and its Sonic lost world which is one of my favorite Sonic games I will be getting Rayman Legends later on but that is it probably by the end of the Wii U's lifespan I will probably only have like 5 Third party games. I would love to have both Third party along with Nintendo's First Party offerings like in the SNES but that will only be just a dream because that probably will never happen (especially the way third parties are treating Nintendo fans and blaming them for their poor sales as well as poking at Nintendo) Outside of the SNES I really dont think that third party games have made a huge impact on the sales of Nintendo's consoles.
@reasonnotwhine Why do you pay attention to him!? If you ignore what he is saying,it will not bother you. Plus you are wasting your time and energy trying to argue with him. Especially with one so arrogant.
@markybbop Saying that those games destroy Nintendo games is just a hilarious claim. I used to be like you back then I would buy sports games along with others but I realized it was nothing new plus the fact that EA's servers are freaking annoying I was being disconnected from almost all the online matches I was in plus paying a ridiculous amount of money just to play online they offered nothing new and its was starting to add up and become really expensive for me. One of the reasons I like Nintendo's First party offerings is they are really fun and I actually enjoy playing them. Even when I beat their games I always comeback to them because you know THEY ARE FUN. Ever since I got WW HD and beat it twice I still go back to it and play it. Near the end of last gen I got myself a PS3 but total I have only tow games for it has opposed to 10 to 15 games on Wii before I jumped to Wii U. I have not even bought myself a PS4 because there is literally nothing new for me to play and nothing really exciting for me even my brother agrees with me he told me why doesnt MS and Sony offer with what Nintendo is doing with Wii U with the gamepad and he is a PS fan. Both Nintendo's First party games and what the others guys offer are all great dont say that one is superior to the other because that is just ridiculous. Have a Nice day.
@Artie Dont listen to people like him. He thinks that everyone is wrong and he is always right. Heck I havent even been here for that long and already noticed that he seems to be the Shareholder type of guy that believes that he knows everything. He even tries to insult you to try and prove what he says. I am not saying we shouldnt worry about Nintendo but you shouldnt pay much attention to it well because its just people wanting to spout nonsense. Dont listen to him if he thinks that he can run the company all by himself he will realize its no that simple believe me.

With the Xbox I would play sports games like Madden or Fifa plus the controller works excellent with those games but after every new Madden and Fifa that comes out it just looks the same as the previous games that came before it just looks prettier with nothing new added so I stopped playing those plus the online on those were pretty terrible even though I had a strong connection. Ever since those games I used to play back then are gone I have lost interest in playing PS now the only game I own with my PS3 is Sonic Generations.

@Quorthon So them making a profit on it was a lie?
Re: Talking Point: Club Nintendo's Closure Is An Exciting Opportunity To Modernise Fan Rewards
@Superryanworld I understand that but changing to a new management or releasing a new console really quickly isnt gonna turn things around. Plus Its not the people themselves that decide that its the board within the company that has that decision and I am pretty sure they said Iwata is gonna stay. I understand Nintendo is in a tight spot but what I am really concerned about is Nintendo making money. They are making money with the Wii U and 3DS and their games as long as they are making money they will be fine. The most important part in business is making money and if a company isnt making any money then they will be forced to opt out. You could be selling more than your competition but with no profit in return. The virtual boy sold so little but Nintendo managed to swoop in profit. The Gamecube sold less than the competition but still made good profit. Sony and MS last gen have recorded losses with their consoles even though they sold tons of PS3 and 360 consoles. MS lost like $3 Billion last gen with the 360. Now both are making a profit even though it is small.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Had a Strong Start With amiibo, But Evolution's a Priority for 2015
@Quorthon Which goes back to Nintendo. Nintendo fans wouldnt have to go and purchase them from scalpers if Nintendo would make more of them. People want these amiibos therefore Nintendo should make more each batch. Not just (oh here you go here is wave 4 no more until we feel like making more)
Re: Talking Point: Club Nintendo's Closure Is An Exciting Opportunity To Modernise Fan Rewards
@Superryanworld PS+ and Xbox Live are great but having to pay for online can get expensive especially me. Not to long ago the reason I would buy Xbox Live was to go and play online I have had terrible experiences with that kicking me out of online matches not letting me go online (even though I had a real stable internet connection) it was getting annoying. There would be times that I wouldnt play online for months I feel that I just wasted $50 that I could have used on a game or get myself a pizza meal. Yeah the free games thing is nice but when you decide to opt out of the service they are gone so that sucks. That is why I mostly stick to my PS3 and Wii U with my 3DS for online since I dont have to pay just to go online to play against other players. It may not be a big deal to you but to everybody else like me are not going to spend money just to play online that is one of the reasons I liked Sony because they didnt make you pay but now you do and I am not gonna spend $50 just to go and play online. It adds up over time!
Re: Talking Point: Club Nintendo's Closure Is An Exciting Opportunity To Modernise Fan Rewards
@Superryanworld Those games do not compare to what you get on a console. People have been saying even when smartphones came in that it was gonna ruin their profits but nope they are still making profits. Believe me I have played many games on the app stores those are just quick time wasters. I have seen this else where too mostly people that bash Nintendo a lot.
Re: Nintendo of America Issues a Fresh Batch of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Demo Codes

@Mario47959 lol I know.
Re: Nintendo of America Issues a Fresh Batch of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Demo Codes
Wow I got the email that gave me tow. Not sure what I am gonna do with them. I have never played MH before but I have been curious about playing it.
Re: Poll: As amiibo Expands and Evolves, Which Features Are You Most Excited About?
I like the amiibo party mode with the use of amiibo in Mario Party 10 but from the looks of it,its gonna be another wasted opportunity to make a really good Mario party after those awful Mario Party games 8 and 9 were. And I expected more amiibo use in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker rather than just finding a sprite of toad. That is pretty depressing.
Re: Poll: As amiibo Expands and Evolves, Which Features Are You Most Excited About?
@ikki5 sadly its amiibo party along with bowser party and Mario party. There is no mode without the car. Looks like another chance at redeeming themselves by making a really good Mario Party wasted.
Re: Hundreds of Limited Edition Majora's Mask New Nintendo 3DS Systems Continue to Flood Onto eBay
@Hy8ogen But you see that's the problem. If Nintendo would have made more of these then people wouldnt have to go and buy them from scalpers if they really wanted them. It will discourage the scalpers from buying them thus realize they lost a ton of money buy doing so. But of course Nintendo does not think about these kinds of situations.
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Direct Went Crazy With Reveals, and Was Delightful and Confusing in Equal Measure
@Bolt_Strike When ever there is a upcoming direct I lower my expectations. If Nintendo says the next direct will be focused on a certain game or focused on games we already know about they are only gonna focus on those. Besides isnt it during E3 where they come out blasting us with new games and showering us with suprises? But oh well some actually liked the direct and there are others who are disappointed about this direct and did not like it. I personally enjoyed the direct but there will always be tow sides. Oh well.
Re: Mario Party 10 Gets It Started With Wii U on 20th March
I am actually excited about MP 10. But what I really hope they changed the ''Playing little to no mini games'' to having to play mini games after everyone has had their turn. Mini games are a vital part to MP why would you change it? You have to be lucky to play mini games in MP 9 and that is a terrible idea. Who ever thought about that really needs to get fired.
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Direct Went Crazy With Reveals, and Was Delightful and Confusing in Equal Measure
@electrolite77 Hey every company does it. They dont actually sit back and think about the good and the bad. I sometimes wonder are they even thinking at all over there?
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Direct Went Crazy With Reveals, and Was Delightful and Confusing in Equal Measure
I really liked this direct. I actually have some faith that MP 10 might be really good. I am also excited about that Mario vs Donkey Kong game too along with the New 3DS even the Puzzles and Dragons game I am really excited about this game.
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Direct Went Crazy With Reveals, and Was Delightful and Confusing in Equal Measure
@FlaygletheBagel So just because of this direct? Seriously? Geez there is little that these companies can do to please gamers these days. Maybe next time lower your expectations a bit again this is a direct about the games for the latter part of spring along with the New 3DS. When ever there is a direct I lower my expectations and not go overboard by thinking about things that will end up not showing up the way you want them to. Its like Sonic fans SEGA gives them an awesome game but its not good enough then they whine that they want something totally new SEGA delivers and does it yet Sonic fans still complain and whine on why SEGA changed the formula for Sonic. The whining never stops. Oh well what can you do.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Release Date Confirmed for 13th February
Man I hope they offer some trade in thing to get towards these.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 14th January, With Focus on Spring Releases
@electrolite77 Well there is little to none that interest me on the other consoles its also because those games are not my cup of tea. Even my older brother who likes PS a lot also agrees he hasnt even got himself a PS4 and probably wont buy one probably like in 4 years because outside of Final Fantasy 15 there is literally nothing that is interesting for him and for me that makes us want to go out and get a PS4. He plays on his PS3 along with my Wii U more because again outside of Final Fantasy 15 there is nothing interesting to play. Maybe if they had another Mega man collection maybe but other than that there is like little to nothing.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 14th January, With Focus on Spring Releases
@markybbop Well I remember when the GC had good Third party support but that didnt help the gamecube nor the sales for the games. I only got like 5 games from the batch of Third party games for the GC one of them being Rayman and Sonic adventure 2 and the Mega man collection lastly glitch in the system along with spy hunter the rest didnt look pleasing to me. I am a sports fan and ended up getting Fifa 10-12 and Madden NFL 12 when they released FIFA 13 and NFL 25 they looked the same for the previous versions of those games they only made the newer ones prettier adding some new in games engines without improving much in terms of online which was kind of terrible. From the 9 games in my Wii U library I only have 1 third party game and its Sonic lost world which is one of my favorite Sonic games I will be getting Rayman Legends later on but that is it probably by the end of the Wii U's lifespan I will probably only have like 5 Third party games. I would love to have both Third party along with Nintendo's First Party offerings like in the SNES but that will only be just a dream because that probably will never happen (especially the way third parties are treating Nintendo fans and blaming them for their poor sales as well as poking at Nintendo) Outside of the SNES I really dont think that third party games have made a huge impact on the sales of Nintendo's consoles.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 14th January, With Focus on Spring Releases
@reasonnotwhine Why do you pay attention to him!? If you ignore what he is saying,it will not bother you. Plus you are wasting your time and energy trying to argue with him. Especially with one so arrogant.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 14th January, With Focus on Spring Releases
@markybbop Saying that those games destroy Nintendo games is just a hilarious claim. I used to be like you back then I would buy sports games along with others but I realized it was nothing new plus the fact that EA's servers are freaking annoying I was being disconnected from almost all the online matches I was in plus paying a ridiculous amount of money just to play online they offered nothing new and its was starting to add up and become really expensive for me. One of the reasons I like Nintendo's First party offerings is they are really fun and I actually enjoy playing them. Even when I beat their games I always comeback to them because you know THEY ARE FUN. Ever since I got WW HD and beat it twice I still go back to it and play it. Near the end of last gen I got myself a PS3 but total I have only tow games for it has opposed to 10 to 15 games on Wii before I jumped to Wii U. I have not even bought myself a PS4 because there is literally nothing new for me to play and nothing really exciting for me even my brother agrees with me he told me why doesnt MS and Sony offer with what Nintendo is doing with Wii U with the gamepad and he is a PS fan. Both Nintendo's First party games and what the others guys offer are all great dont say that one is superior to the other because that is just ridiculous. Have a Nice day.

Re: Digital Foundry Ponders Next-Gen Hardware Options for Nintendo
@Artie Dont listen to people like him. He thinks that everyone is wrong and he is always right. Heck I havent even been here for that long and already noticed that he seems to be the Shareholder type of guy that believes that he knows everything. He even tries to insult you to try and prove what he says. I am not saying we shouldnt worry about Nintendo but you shouldnt pay much attention to it well because its just people wanting to spout nonsense. Dont listen to him if he thinks that he can run the company all by himself he will realize its no that simple believe me.
