Comparing a game that a good amount of people wanted to a game hardly anybody wanted. Yeah, real smart explanation there.
Edit: And YES, I am glad that at some point this project did indeed exist. More effort was put into supporting it than any of these other projects that they tote so well.
I doubt Nintendo planned any sort of buyout, but they would be the best company to acquire Atlus, and such an acquisition would greatly serve to benefit them.
No thanks, i'd rather see Capcom get off their lazy expletives and actually make a game worth playing instead of these tasteless rehashes they're trying to pawn off on their sheepish fanbase. And yes, that includes the "new" sequels in their zombie survival horror trash.
On the subject of the first Sonic Drift, being a collector it irks me when i'm unable to get series in numerical order, so I may just pass on this for now.
@LordGeovanni: Actually, I was pointing it out because the franchise's name is Inazuma ELEVEN. Basically i'm saying his position was likely deliberate.
I remember the first experience I had with Ocarina Of Time. I was at a friend's house, and they were trying to complete the Treasure Chest game in Hyrule Market. None of us knew about the Lens Of Truth yet. I pointed out which chests they should check and surprisingly, they made it all the way to the Heart Piece on my first try!
I see we've chosen art from the worst performing games in the series (in the US) for this article. I assume it's because they're the only console games in the series thus far (again, in the US)?
And i'm presuming nobody here has taken the time to see how much it costs to import any One Piece game? Yeah, i'd rather NBG stop being so lazy and just release the games here, even if it's just on the eShop.
@Sceptic: Oh yes, because i'm so sure a zombie killing game aimed at mature audiences should totally determine how well a platform game designed with everyone in mind would perform.
Edit: I should also point out that sales would've been unaffected by other games had Rayman Legends not been delayed. Now it has both Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 to contend with meaning Ubisoft has just shot itself in the foot. And don't pretend the same won't happen with XBox 360 and Playstation 3, especially since there's FAR more games releasing for those systems.
Disappointing? It's one of the highest selling 3rd party games on Wii U. If that's "disappointing" for them then they're a bunch of stubborn incompetents who don't know a good thing when they see it.
Edit: Scratch that. It's THE highest selling 3rd party game.
I agree on them being really pessimistic. It's as most of us have said though: Give a lazy effort and it's your own fault when none of your stuff sells.
This score actually seems appropriate, but I disagree about it's saving grace. That would be the old arcade games you unlock and the room you get to play them in.
Most DSiWare games transferred over to the 3DS eShop. I don't see why the same wouldn't be true of most WiiWare titles eventually. And hopefully this trend continues well into the future. It's one of the biggest advantages Nintendo has over it's competitors.

Re: Nintendo Has Been Fantastic To Work With, Says Oddworld Developer
I'm glad things are working out between them. I'll pick up the game as soon as possible.
Re: Capcom Confirms 37.3% Drop in Profits in Second Quarter of 2013
I said they're dead to me. If this doesn't get the message across to them, then i'll gladly dance on their grave.
Re: Activision Committed To Doing 'Everything It Can' To Support Wii U
I'd have been interested had they announced TMNT for Wii U, but I guess they blew the budget on Cashcow Moneypants.

Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies Has Some DLC in Japan
Oh boy, more stuff that was likely planned before the game was even released!
Re: Nintendo Stock Hits Its Highest Point in Two Years
I think this is appropriate for the moment:
Re: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes To Feature Stan Lee as a Playable Character
I'll only consider picking this up if I have the option to give Wolverine one or more of his masks.
Re: Ben 10: Omniverse 2 Coming Later This Year on Wii U, Wii And 3DS
Please quit beating this dead horse of a cash cow and move on already Namco Bandai...
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Shaping Up To Acquire Troubled Atlus

Re: Strider Could Come To The Wii U eShop "If There's Demand For It"
No thanks, i'd rather see Capcom get off their lazy expletives and actually make a game worth playing instead of these tasteless rehashes they're trying to pawn off on their sheepish fanbase. And yes, that includes the "new" sequels in their zombie survival horror trash.
Re: Review: Spelunker (3DS eShop / NES)
This game is pretty bad, but it has great novelty value because of it.
Re: New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game Coming To Wii And 3DS
This is good. Out Of The Shadows has some of the ugliest character designs for TMNT i've ever seen.
Edit: That said, no Wii U? Seriously? : /
Re: Pre-Orders Open for Mega Man Anniversary Statue
Oh yes, things are sure looking up for Capcom! /sarcasm
Re: Game Freak Uses a Silhouette to Tease a New Collaboration Project
@Retro_on_theGo: Is it? That thing is the spitting image of Umagon/Ponygon.
Re: Just 3% of All Ubisoft's Sales Came From Wii U in Q2 2013
Plenty of good games for all systems next month. Shame Ubisoft's will probably be overlooked because of it.
Re: Video: This New Pikmin 3 Trailer Goes For Realism, Sort Of
@Erica_Hartmann: I saw a Japanese video that confirmed they're in the game.
Re: Soul Saga: Episode I Kickstarter Campaign Closes After Tripling Original Goal
Maybe they can release the stretch goals they missed as DLC if support for the game is good enough? They sounded pretty interesting.
Re: Pikmin 3 is Playable Next Weekend At GameStop or EB Games

Re: Video: Animal Crossing Fails To Provide A Decisive Verdict On Which Is Best: Scorpion Or Tarantula
I've only seen one scorpion, and it fell in the water before I could get my net... XP
Re: Weirdness: Picking an Original Pokémon Starter, Always a Tough Call
I always go with water type for my starter. >:3
Re: One Piece: Romance Dawn Won't Be Sailing To North America
@Hunter-D: Yes, I too prefer Gear Second. The translations Toei wants are absurd, and the fanboys on Youtube aren't helping much either.
Re: Capcom's Christian Svensson Departs As Part Of Staff Reorganisation
Man, Capcom really loves stabbing itself repeatedly, doesn't it?
Re: DuckTales: Remastered To Hit the Wii U eShop in Mid-August
Umm...
3:30 That's art from Angry Beavers. What's that doing here?!
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th July (North America)
Well, this is a poor week. Picking up Metroid, Donkey Kong and SMB2, got SMTIV preordered.
Re: Whilom: Sins Will Battle Onto Wii U if Kickstarter Stretch Goal is Reached
INTERESTING
^A meme should come of this.
Re: Nintendo: Wii U Fire Emblem Would Need To Sell 700K To Justify The Effort
@Koto: VGChartz says it performed slightly better than Path Of Radiance. Radiant Dawn was the worst.
Edit: Scratch that, I was looking at worldwide sales and this mixed up Path Of Radiance and Shadow Dragon. However, Radiant Dawn was still the worst.
Re: Review: Sonic Drift 2 (3DS eShop / Game Gear)
@World: Oh, I was just being sarcastic.
On the subject of the first Sonic Drift, being a collector it irks me when i'm unable to get series in numerical order, so I may just pass on this for now.
Re: Weirdness: Level-5 Flies Straight With its Favourite Character Poll Wallpaper
@LordGeovanni: Actually, I was pointing it out because the franchise's name is Inazuma ELEVEN. Basically i'm saying his position was likely deliberate.
Re: Weirdness: Level-5 Flies Straight With its Favourite Character Poll Wallpaper
It should also be pointed out that Inazuma 11's main character came in 11th place. That's mad trolling right there!
Re: Weirdness: Level-5 Flies Straight With its Favourite Character Poll Wallpaper
Yeah, that's him in the shadow. They should do more of these.
Re: Review: Sonic Drift 2 (3DS eShop / Game Gear)
Sonic? In a car? What madness be this?! LOL
Re: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Helped Miyamoto Bond With His Daughter

Re: One Piece: Romance Dawn Won't Be Sailing To North America
And i'm presuming nobody here has taken the time to see how much it costs to import any One Piece game? Yeah, i'd rather NBG stop being so lazy and just release the games here, even if it's just on the eShop.
Re: Rumour: Attack of the Friday Monsters Breaching North American Shores Next Week
I was wondering when this would show up. Not too long now!
Re: One Piece: Romance Dawn Won't Be Sailing To North America
And again, I REFUSE to support this company if it passes over games that actually interest me such as this in favor of absolute trash like this:
@Hunter-D: They just finished the skating filler for the Davy Back Fight.
Re: Gaijin Games Announces Good Friends Pack DLC For Runner 2
Cave Story and Psychonauts?! Man, these guys are great!
Re: Ubisoft CEO Admits ZombiU Sales Were Disappointing, No Plans For Sequel

Re: Soapbox: Why Region Locking Is A Total Non-Issue
@Damo: Fair enough I suppose.
Re: Iwata: Third Party Wii U Launch Titles Could Not Enjoy Brisk Sales As Many Were Ports
I agree on them being really pessimistic. It's as most of us have said though: Give a lazy effort and it's your own fault when none of your stuff sells.
Re: Soapbox: Why Region Locking Is A Total Non-Issue
I don't know why you decided to call this Soapbox. There's less drama and more discussion here than most anywhere else on the site. : /
Re: Freedom Factory's Bloodbath Coming to Wii U
Agreed with Jgam. Keep the concept the way it is, and it'll be worth a purchase.
Re: Review: Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike (GameCube)

IT LIVES! MWAHAHAHAHA! >8D
Re: Wii U Turned Ubisoft On To Second-Screen Gaming, But Isn't The Focus Moving Forward
I'm just going to sit back and watch as their games become overlooked on PS4. And XBox One? I don't even have to explain that one.

Re: Fan Group Prepares to Release 8-Bit Demake of Mega Man Legends 3
And then Capcom will try selling it for cash and nobody will want it because of Capcom's supreme laziness.
Re: Nintendo May Have Eased Off On Its Claims To 'Let's Play' Ad Revenues
Meh. I only watch them if they can find ways to be amusing without dropping an f-bomb every half a sentence.
