@Big_L91 if all you played was the nintendo crash bandicoot games no wonder you didn't find them memorable, get a PSone and the first 3 crash games and your in for some fun.
From what I've read no version was exactly good it seems, haven't seen any reviews that where above average at best, so whether its the best or worst version of an apparently pretty mediocre game doesn't seem that relevant.
Didn't really think the so called doom and gloom articles where such a big deal really though there was a lot of them, a nintendo site is pretty much there to report on things regarding nintendo after all, don't see why that means they have to put a positive spin on everything, though if you decide to start recruiting propaganda writers instead I might just be interested in that
well a PS3 is a lot a more affordable than a wii u, the 12GB super slim is about half the price of a wii u premium pack not that its the most fair comparison considering the PS3 has had 2 different redesigns and a string of price cuts over the years, but it is what wii u is being sold alongside right now all the same, also pretty sure 360 is even cheaper still.
As much as I don't agree with those that say the wii u is doomed, to think it could match the wii's sales let alone surpass them sounds just a tiny bit mad.
If ouya is a scam the square enix and namco bandai are in on it too, since they are both set to release titles for it, its a perfectly legit console just a bit different to the norm is all.
Seeing so many claim that they don't buy nintendo to play 3rd party games can't be very encouraging to anybody from a 3rd party reading this, I thought the wii had some awesome 3rd party games even if they didn't get the sales I felt they deserved.
With a number of new entries into console scene mostly if not all from the US, it'll be interesting to see how they do in the Japanese chart, look out 360 your 8th place on the chart may be threatened!!!! or not
lets not let facts get in the way of the story, the ad doubled the score nl is rife with corruption and greed, read all about it in the Realatimes the best web tabloid bar none!!!
With the retail prices I've seen the low sales aren't surprising at all, makes me wonder just how badly retail downloads are doing, though they still seem to be shifting hardware at a fair pace so can't imagine nintendo will feel the need to act on its pricing anytime soon.
The sad thing is I'm pretty sure 99% of those journalists blaming video games do actually realise its just a coincidence they happened to own that particular game, don't think they are going to stop and think about what they put out their just because it might not be 100% true, or even 1% true for that matter.
Guns don't kill people video games do, time to ban games well regulate them ever so slightly more I guess, that should make it look like they tried to do something about it.
Despite PMSS being one of the reasons I bought a 3DS the absence of leveling up has put me off, so instead looks like I'll be replaying Theme Hospital at last and giving Dungeon Keeper a go, so its not all bad.
Not likely to buy much online with a credit card at their prices, not a fan of forcing people to go instore to get the best deal takes away a large point of online imo.
I think it would be more of a concern if the wii u using its GPGPU solution makes things more complicated to program, doubt that would help in their aim of attracting 3rd parties.
wii had great 1st games sadly they didn't always get the sales they wanted but apparently nintendo's overall games sales per console is less than either sony or microsofts offering, can't see wii u changing that fact much honestly I imagine nintendo's 1st party offering are always going to overshadow 3rd party far more than the other 2.
pretty sure I remember hearing the doing more to attract 3rd party support mantra for gamecube and the wii as well, so not sold on the 3rd parties will do better on better on wii u pitch this time either really, but you never know.
"Riddle me this, Nintendo: why did my first-gen Kindle, which only had access to the Amazon App Store, play some of my favorite Wii games better than the Wii did?"
from that you get
"you played SSBB, Galaxy, Galaxy 2, TP, SS, TLS, Xenoblade, Metroid Prime 3, No More Heroes, NMH2, TvC, MadWorld, MHT, KEY, Kirby RTDL, NSMBW, ExciteBots, and MKW on your kindle?"
Yeah that's a reasonable conclusion to come to, cue eye rolling, obviously it wouldn't include exclusives so why even ask

Re: Latest U.S. Sales Show Decline in Video Game Market, Slow Wii U Momentum
no one will buy a console for indie games? ouya will be hoping your wrong on that one.
Re: Latest U.S. Sales Show Decline in Video Game Market, Slow Wii U Momentum
as much as I like origins I doubt having legends being released when they said it would, would have sold any more wii u consoles honestly.

Re: Wii U Games Struggling At Retail In The UK

Peter Molyneux didn't seem so keen on the wii u either, I bet he has a better idea of what to do with that money

Re: Review: Angry Birds Trilogy (3DS)
Actually the score puts it equal to starfox 64 3D, so can't be all that bad surely.
Re: Review: Angry Birds Trilogy (3DS)
Be interesting to see if this game often associated with iphone like devices will fare sales wise, along side nintendo's 1st party titles.

I don't think nintendo is the only one that gets hate for its drive for the causal gamer, move and kinnect maybe especially kinnect get it too.
Re: Nintendo: Phones And Tablets Aren't Games Devices
I think sony and microsoft try to cater to "everyone" too, sackboy kart and sony smash bros would have to fit in with that I'd imagine
