US sounded like he hadn't practiced much and lacked emotion
UK had plenty of emotion, but honestly his voice started to become grating towards the end (I'm not used to hearing that accent so that might explain that)
IMO it started out really strong with Little Mac's reveal then it went down hill from there, only to be lifted back up at the end
I can see why they didn't reveal a lot of new games, perhaps they weren't ready to be shown? I mean remember all the hate Hyrule Warriors got despite them being clear that a lot of things were going to be changed/improved, so I say, reveal when its ready, but hopefully in march
After that I am now very curious about Yoshi and the soccer game and the blacksmith one, I'm now sold on DK and hype has reached new levels for smash, also LUDWIG!
I actually agree, the two things holding me back are price and not being able to play gc games on it, so when one of those two are fixed I'll be able to convince the rest of my household to pitch in for a wiiu
@FullbringIchigo That's genius...sorta. I think they should do something like that, but for exclusives. Like how we got wonderful 101, and are going to get bayonetta 2, I'm sure there are some people who bought the wii u just for w101 and there are some who will get one just for bayonetta 2, though I admit those numbers are probably low. Perhaps Ninty should look for a game which has a LARGE fanbase but has been unable to get a continuation but still has developers who want to make it. Ninty should then fund those to try to get those fans, but honestly, I'm not sure how well that'd work.
I do know that just going for direct ports won't work, simply because the Wii U is considered a second console by most. If its a direct port, you can get it for your wii u which many deem technologically inferior, or your other nextgen console/pc which basically had the game built for it. Unless the gamepad features are amazing, the wii u version will always undersell unfortunately....
@Memeboy3 The wiiu was built with first party in mind, and if what this secret guy says is true then Nintendo did not have a way to efficiently answer their questions. A week is not efficient at all to answer some questions. that there is a problem with communications, and I don't think I said Nintendo had control over them
So from what I see, Nintendo's biggest issues are communication and online. Power limits or code issues should be almost nothing of Nintendo answered questions quickly and helped them understand how to program for the wiiu
Unfortunately Nintendo always had sucked at communications with third parties
My guess, they made the changes to maintain the rating at a certain level since for Nintendo, higher ratings tend to be something they try to avoid when they publish games. Besides, with the innuendos I think they'd have to write suggestive themes (sexual themes at worst) on the box
Found this site sometime after e3 and have enjoyed the articles and community (even though I don't post much). Guess I just like the fact that there isn't a nintendoomed atmosphere here unlike everywhere else. Keep up the good work!
To everyone saying it was dumb to release pokebank on Christmas day, maybe they wanted to have it be like a present to gamers since I think Japan has been getting into Christmas lately.the real mistake was underestimating the traffic

Re: Nintendo Apologises for Nintendo Network Issues as Full eShop Services Return
All Nintendo owes us is a better network and maybe extending the sales
Re: Nintendo Network Services Now Starting to "Operate Normally"
@IceClimbers I think it was download code since it's cheaper than physical and if pre-installed wouldn't it be deleted in a system transfer?
