It's great to finally see all these futuristic concepts, like smartwatches, flexible displays and this, of course, start to actually form into real products rather than just science fiction. Here comes the future, guys.
I don't see what's wrong with this. It might pose some problems in big cities, but we'll eventually have the problem worked out. Not to mention, 30 minute delivery? That's awesome. I could have a game shipped to me in the time it would take a pizza to get here!
The Xbox One presentation was good. They announced plenty of good games. But the PS4 presentation burned the crap out of the Xbox One. It's hilarious, we've already decided on getting a PS4 over an Xbox One, though that means we're missing out on Dead Rising 3, which sucks. Lastly, notice how they've never said that FF15 and KH3 were PS4 exclusives? Could this mean... a Wii U release?
Also, limited actions is a good thing, remember all the star-beggars and false-reporters in the old Flipnote Hatena community? It's probably to prevent them from overtaking Flipnote Gallery too.
I think we can all expect it to jump up in a few months. Nintendo is taking their time here, they still have the pile of cash from the success of the DS, Wii and ongoing sales of the 3DS. They have room for mistakes here, and I guess they're using it to their advantage.
Surprise, surprise! The reason why the Wii U version didn't sell so well is because nobody who bought the console at launch cared about another FIFA game.
It'll improve once people see what it can do. The Wii U isn't weak, per se, it can handle games on day one that the PS3 and 360 took several years to master.
Are you kidding? I played Super Metroid for the first time two days ago. I got all the way up to Kraid without a map. Not to mention, I absolutely loved exploring in the original Zelda... minus the fact that I died every two seconds. There's room for old games in this society, even for younger ones like me.
I kinda like the Wii better, partly because of the huge game library (including VC games and Gamecube backwards compatibility), but the 3DS is still an awesome console. It's like the PS2 of handheld consoles.
(insert constant whining and moaning about the VC's lack of obscure games that no-one knows about and its pricing that is 3-4 times cheaper than the original cart and ignoring the fact that Nintendo needs to reprogram these games to work with the Wii U VC)
There's this thing, if you haven't noticed already, called the Wii Shop Channel, which lets you play your VC games without the need to wait for the Wii U VC release!
Take some notes, people. If Nintendo isn't putting the effort into making the VC launch stellar, they're putting effort into more important things, like improving the OS, attracting new developers to the platform and launching new 1st party software. tl;dr They have their priorities in order.
Remember guys, they aren't supposed to be kind gods that send down games on your own personal whim. They're still a business, and they need to make smart decisions. This'll sell systems for a system that needs units sold.

Re: Pac-Man Museum Announced For Wii U And 3DS eShops
What, no North American release?
Oh, come on. I would've been all over this, provided I had leftover cash when Earthbound comes out.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Biggest E3 Challenge is Getting Noticed
But I do think the Xbox One has an impressive library of games, I'm looking forwards to Dead Rising 3 and Forza Motorsport 5, particularly.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Biggest E3 Challenge is Getting Noticed
Can't Nintendo pull another E3 2010 and call it a day?
Re: Flipnote Studio 3D to Hit North America Early August, Subscription Pricing Revealed
Also, limited actions is a good thing, remember all the star-beggars and false-reporters in the old Flipnote Hatena community? It's probably to prevent them from overtaking Flipnote Gallery too.
Re: Flipnote Studio 3D to Hit North America Early August, Subscription Pricing Revealed
1 dollar for a whole month? SWEET!
That means a 5 dollar foot long can also buy you 5 whole months of Flipnote Studio 3D.
Re: Flipnote Studio 3D Sketched In for 3rd July in Japan
I heard the price for a month of Flipnote Studio 3D online is about 100 yen or 1 US dollar.
Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo Virtual Boy
It gives you headaches almost as fast as watching MLP does.
Re: Poll: Wii U Hardware Revisions and Accessories, There's No Escape
Make an Earthbound-themed Wii U.
Re: Nintendo Confirms E3 Best Buy Demo Locations
Even better, it's about 2 miles from my house. I love you, Nintendo.
Re: Nintendo Confirms E3 Best Buy Demo Locations
Aw sweet, one's in my town.
Re: Korg M01D Music Synthesizer App Delayed in Japan
I'm not sure who would possibly buy something like this on their 3DS.
Re: EarthBound Listing Materializes on Amazon UK
OH SWEET JESUS PLEASE BE TRUE
Re: EarthBound Listing Materializes on Amazon UK
Maybe Nintendo is preparing for the 20th anniversary of Earthbound next year?
Sure, Earthbound came out in 1995, but Mother 2 came out in 1994.
Re: Weirdness: Theories on the Inside of a Poké Ball
Why talk about poke balls when you can talk about what the real world would be like if they existed?
That's something I'd love to hear.
Re: Rewind, EA Is In Fact Developing Games For The Wii U
But, still, this is good. No EA support for any console is embarrassing, really, they support all mainstream consoles out on the market now.
Re: Rewind, EA Is In Fact Developing Games For The Wii U
Make up your mind, you're almost as indecisive as I am when debating over getting the new Zelda or 3D Mario game.
Re: Rumour: Wii U Sold Less Than 40,000 Units In North America In April
I think we can all expect it to jump up in a few months. Nintendo is taking their time here, they still have the pile of cash from the success of the DS, Wii and ongoing sales of the 3DS. They have room for mistakes here, and I guess they're using it to their advantage.
Re: FIFA 14 is Skipping Wii U Because of "Disappointing" FIFA 13 Sales
Surprise, surprise!
The reason why the Wii U version didn't sell so well is because nobody who bought the console at launch cared about another FIFA game.
Re: SEGA Promises New Gameplay, Enemies and Potentially "Friends" in Sonic Lost World
No Big the Cat.
For god's sake, do not include that fatass.
Re: Tech Site T3 Predicts What The Nintendo Smartphone Would Look Like
Now remember guys, this is a phone, not a portable gaming system.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Mixed Week With Wii U Third-Party Support
It'll improve once people see what it can do. The Wii U isn't weak, per se, it can handle games on day one that the PS3 and 360 took several years to master.
Re: Miiverse: Super Metroid - Too Taxing For Today's Gamers?
Are you kidding? I played Super Metroid for the first time two days ago. I got all the way up to Kraid without a map. Not to mention, I absolutely loved exploring in the original Zelda... minus the fact that I died every two seconds.
There's room for old games in this society, even for younger ones like me.
Re: Video: See How Mugen's "20 Hour" 3DS XL Battery Fares Against Other Nintendo Handhelds
Damn. For my birthday I might just have to get this and a 3DS XL.
Re: Rumour: Tomodachi Collection: New Life Update to Remove Same-Sex Marriage
I'm fine with that. They can do whatever the hell they want with politically sensitive issues in their games.
Re: UK Mainstream Newspaper Declares 3DS The "Best Console Ever"
I kinda like the Wii better, partly because of the huge game library (including VC games and Gamecube backwards compatibility), but the 3DS is still an awesome console. It's like the PS2 of handheld consoles.
Re: Rumour: Rockstar Won't Be Bringing WWE Or Grand Theft Auto To The Wii U
I can expect at least some developers to work with the Wii U. If Rockstar is a hold-out, so be it.
Re: Rumour: The Recent Wii U System Update Has Boosted Clock Speeds
Sony tech junkies, eat your hearts out.

Re: Rumour: Next Sonic Game Will Go Back To His Roots, Is Coming To Wii U And 3DS
I can almost hear the Sonic fanbase readying the BAWW cannons...
Re: Japanese Wii U Virtual Console Launches With 14 Titles Available To Download
Kirby Super Star takes 3-4 years on the Wii VC to appear, only a week to appear for the Wii U VC.
That's a good sign.
Re: Talking Point: The Importance of the Virtual Console

Re: Nintendo Download: 27th April - Virtual Console (Europe)
Maybe Kirby Super Star will come out next week?
I know, wishful thinking.
Re: Rejoice, Mario Kart Wii U Is Coming This Year

Ka-ching.
Re: Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Is Revealed
There's this thing, if you haven't noticed already, called the Wii Shop Channel, which lets you play your VC games without the need to wait for the Wii U VC release!
Re: Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Is Revealed
Take some notes, people. If Nintendo isn't putting the effort into making the VC launch stellar, they're putting effort into more important things, like improving the OS, attracting new developers to the platform and launching new 1st party software.
tl;dr They have their priorities in order.
Re: Weirdness: These Circle Pad Pro Mods Have Some Wacky Designs
They couldn't have been thinking of convenience here with these designs.
Re: Rumour: Take-Two To Reveal Next-Gen Versions of Grand Theft Auto V At Investor Call
I'll get this if it comes out on Wii U. Unless if my brother pre-orders it for the 360.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Staff Favourites - Super NES
You're missing Kirby Super Star.
Re: Review: Kirby's Adventure (Wii U eShop / NES)
I'm surprised why anyone would pass up a 30 cent game.
Especially this one.
Re: Rumour: Wii U System Update Could Go Live Tomorrow
For launch, I want Link to the Past.
That's all I'll ask for.
Re: EarthBound Delay May Not Have Been Caused By Music Licensing Issues After All

Re: Shigesato Itoi Thanks EarthBound Fans For Their Support
Eventually the Wii U will cost less than the original Earthbound cartridge.
Re: Review: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity (3DS)
Looks like someone thinks his opinions are facts.
Re: Nintendo Direct: Watch The North American 3DS Presentation Live
My wallet is screaming in anxiety after seeing this.
Re: Shin'en Multimedia Has Two Wii U Games In The Pipeline
I bet Shin'en could make a kick-butt F-zero game. If it looks anywhere as good as Nano Assault Neo, it's a day one pick up.
