Wow so you guys are bashing the Vita, because a company decided to advertise the product on a Amazon page for Nintendo products.
Amazon sells GAMING Products and Hardware etc etc. Vita is a GAMING Handheld why wouldn't it be recommended ? Hell it recommends 3DS games and XL to me when I buy Vita stuff and vice-versa.
Not everyone is a fanboy. A lot of people buy from all three companies (including me).
The point of being a Game Journalist/Reviewer and all that is to report news, good or bad. You're not just supposed to report good news and ignore the bad, just because it's your company you're loyal to. I also find it weird how some people religiously praise their own company and bash other companies. Why ? That goes for any fan-base. Sony, Nintendo Etc.
When the PS3 had a slow start, everyone wished for its death and said it's going to flop, now the Wii U is in the same situation suddenly it's "Give Nintendo/WiiU time it just came out a few months ago". Now you know how Vita users feel.
That said I'd be worried about my game not selling well also. However Nintendo warned people time and time again that the system will cater to everyone this time around, and their ads reflect this.
I own a Vita and 3DS, so I get the best of both worlds.
This game does look interesting however.
I'm also glad for the excuse they gave, rather than just admitting they don't want to have to redo the entire game to take advantage of the Vita's system designs.
Actually it's not a Zelda clone, at least not in the way you think.
The only way it's like Zelda , is One of the bosses is a giant worm. That and you have dungeons, which like Zelda, there's a new item that is crucial to beat the boss.
It actually copies God of War and Uncharted, and Devil May Cry throughout the whole game. Zelda is an afterthought.
Darksiders 2, is nothing like Zelda, it copies Prince of Persia and Diablo, nothing Zelda in there.
No person calls themselves a Gamer and has loyalty to one company. We play Games despite the system that they are on, we don't play games BECAUSE of the system they are on.
We don't know what was in the contract so, we can only assume and speculate, as a few of the others have been saying.
Or maybe the game is more of a, "it may not be your kind of game sort of thing" ?
Just because the majority likes a game and praises it doesn't mean everyone else should go along with it, that's called not being able to think for yourself.
The fact that people let reviews scores get to them is a bit weird. (Unless you're a Game Developer or Publisher)
It's good to see PS3 and 3ds are selling well in Japan. If only people would buy the Vita more, it's so much fun, just wish Sony would support it more.
I don't think Sony will copy the game-pad for the main controller, I hope and think they will stick to the traditional Dual-shock (If it aint broken, don't fix it, and I freaking love that thing). Now as a secondary optional controller I can see them copying Nintendo like the Move.
As for the next system, I look forward to what Sony has to offer, I enjoy both Nintendo and Sony Consoles (Excluding the Wii...sorta).
Jack is a business man first, but he's still a person at the end of the day. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually owned a lot of the Nintendo and Microsoft products.
@Mike1, How is he full of crap ? A lot of people were surprised by the Wii's success even Nintendo was.
Is it seriously enough to call a little kid stupid or an idiot ?
Wow the irony of some of the comments. He's a kid, do you honestly think he cares about any of the stuff you just said about " OMG the graphics"
The fact that the kid got a handheld that is very rare and was only in production for a hot second is quite good despite him being wrong about the 3DS being outdated.
He's a kid he only cares about playing games, I'm sure he could careless about uber graphics and features.
I won't condone piracy never will, either way it's wrong.
Yet for the love of god stop (not directed at the author of the article but the comments) saying piracy is hurting Nintendo really ? When ? Please link me to an article (a recent) that says Nintendo is hurting and losing tons of money because of piracy.
If I remember correctly Nintendo is doing a hell of a lot better lately.
Anyway it's a smart move on Nintendo's part business/self interest wise.
I love both Nintendo and Sony equally, both have a ton of games to offer.
What a company says to irk the competition isn't any surprise, the fact that fanboys are getting their pants in a bind only means what Sony said is working.
It's called psychologically teasing the competition to annoy them and get them to retaliate, Nintendo does it all the time, stop getting butthurt when another company does it to them.

Re: Rayman Legends No Longer a Wii U Exclusive, Delayed to September
Yeah I see no point in getting a Wii U until Wind Waker HD and Mario come out. I'll stick with my PS3 until then.
That said, the delay is irritating, this was actually what sold me on the system in the first place.

Re: Platinum Games Is Interested In Acquiring The Darksiders Franchise
Really hope Nintendo doesn't buy Vigill, I do however hope Platinum Games does and they're not just joking.
I love the Darksiders series so much, however I refuse to shell out money for another Console.
PS3,Wii,3DS, DS, Vita and PSP. is enough for me at the moment.
Re: Nintendo Unveils The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD for Wii U
Now I have to get a Wii U, Oh Nintendo, you know just what strings to pull with me.

Re: Pokémon X & Y
I wonder how long this has been in development then.
I cannot wait for this.
Re: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity Hitting North America March 24th
Yes!!! Now my 3DS can finally get a ton more playtime instead of just sitting in a drawer.
I love the PMD series.

Re: Wii U Basic Can Only Store 3GB Of Downloaded Software
Even the Deluxe GB is laughable, this is just sad.
I'll just buy a USB Hard Drive, whether I'm getting Deluxe or Basic.
Re: Gangnam Style Confirmed for Just Dance 4
Leave it to the media to beat a song into the ground. I never cared much for the song, but hey go nuts.

Re: Unsure About Wii U's Online Capabilities? Don't Worry, So Are Some Developers
Well this is worrying.
Hopefully they sort it out come release date.
Re: Talking Point: Five Reasons to Buy a Wii U
Still can't justify me getting a Wii U at the moment, maybe in a year or so as I did the Wii. Very few games that interest me.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Finishes Second in UK Charts
@grumblegrumble
No. Sleeping Dogs came out the same month just 5 days before it, so no Sleeping Dogs gave it a run for it's money.
