I'm glad that they've finally learned how to advertise but they forgot the crucial step... They have to make the product available to purchase if they want to achieve maximum effectiveness.
Let me translate Reggie's statement: "We want the focus to be on the games, so shut up about the issues and lack of features. We obviously rushed this thing out the door to create revenue early in the year."
It's pretty mind blowing to me that they've included a share button so you can share to social media but can't access social media from the console. If 3DS and Wii and WiiU can access the web and Netflix then the Switch should too.
Imagine if a guitar maker deleted every song recorded on their guitar. Mario Maker is a tool for creativity. Something Nintendo claims to encourage and respect. They look more and more like a dinosaur who is waiting for this internet fad to disappear.
Recent rumors seem to be indicating the portable nx peripheral will launch this year followed by the home peripheral next year. This makes sense to me as Nintendo loves to slow play everyone and stay big on hype.
Whenever I hear one of these Japanese save data stories I'm in awe that their power grid survives tsunamis and earthquakes yet my power flickers if the wind blows too hard.
@dumedum It's a huge success because many of these characters have never been released as a figure before and people love Nintendo. It also helped that supply was so weak in the beginning that it became a hot "investment" for awhile. I think it's about to hit a wall unless they do something quick.
They're shrinking the shelf space because they have little to offer this holiday and the retailers could use the extra space for PS and XBone. Doom doom DOOOOOOOM!
This is why I did not buy Mario Maker. I like the levels Nintendo created in the classics but the tough ones people make look excruciatingly unfun. I'll stick with a nice safe Super Mario World.
Guys, At last, I was be able to understand about the reactions. If Devil's Third was a game worth a crap it would have been released years ago That is truth.
It was being developed for PS3 and Xbox 360. Maybe it wasn't a good game back then. Now that it's still not good Nintendo doesn't want their name on it.

Re: Poll: Does Nintendo Switch Need Streaming Apps and a Web Browser, Or Is It All About Games?
It's pretty mind blowing to me that they've included a share button so you can share to social media but can't access social media from the console. If 3DS and Wii and WiiU can access the web and Netflix then the Switch should too.

Re: Random: Shigeru Miyamoto Highlights the Pleasure of Eating a Burger While Playing Super Mario Run

Re: Analysts Weigh in on Nintendo's Successes and Failures with amiibo
@dumedum It's a huge success because many of these characters have never been released as a figure before and people love Nintendo. It also helped that supply was so weak in the beginning that it became a hot "investment" for awhile. I think it's about to hit a wall unless they do something quick.
