But they ARE Going to lose sales. The Wii U version will have no reason to sell in September, and those with XBoxs and PS3s will have their attention being taken by one of the MOST ANTICIPATED games of the past year or two.
How is this a smart business move? @Slapshot, who knows what he's talking about, said there's no logical way that delaying the game makes a bit of sense. All they're getting is lost sales.
The Devs. have said the game was complete. The development had finished. That is a FACT.
"Maybe they'll change their minds"? I doubt it. It takes a lack of a mind to make this decision.
@Kyloctopus I meant in regards to their indie support. Of course XBLA has better support than the Wii U but with all the comments of it's accessibility... I'm still interested on how this'll turn out.
Anyways, we have what Nintendo Games coming up? Game & Wario, Wii Fit U, and Pikimin? There doesn't look like much cause for alarm. Pikmin not having online is a loss, true, but it doesn't look like it's time to pull any levers and scream "NINTENDO WILL NEVER HAVE ONLINE".
However, I'm not looking forward to their attempt to justify Pikmin's lack.
@Brando67854321
You have thought a lot of things that are untrue.
Besides, if Nintendo makes such "crappy" exclusives, why do you want them to be online?
I'll support @FOREST_RANGER since the defense makes sense, as it's a design choice. For the NSMBU argument; Hey, Rayman Origins didn't have online play, on ANY system. There's a reason for that.
For NintendoLand, tell me, how would the multiplayer experiences work if everyone is using a GamePad? This game is catered towards local play, and If you can't do that, then it's your folly for wanting a game that so purely and outright stated it.
Can't defend Pikmin 3 much though. Nothing in it's design would really interfere with MP online. Except maybe communication, but I'd imagine chat would handle that.
Who knows? Maybe in the time before launch they can add online MP to Pikmin? It'd be a nice turn, and a slap in the face to those that can't think about a game's design and jump straight to "Nintendo doesn't GET online!" (which may or may not be factual).
@WhiteKnight So would the best thing to do just be not to report on his market analyses anymore? Would that cease all this clear confusion of what we don't fully grasp? Not being sarcastic or snarky BTW, genuinely asking if that would be best.
@LZBirdboi Isn't that the only time that any of us consumers really care about market analysts? When they make statements that get to us?
I doubt none of us, save for the odd few like @WhiteKnight truly care about the logistics behind it, and just react because Nintendo is some kind of "perfect being", and talk that it is not is inexcusable.
Anyways, so is Reggie the absolute best president of an American company/branch? ...I've never actually considered it so I'd be all the more impressed if that's the case.
@tealovertoma Thousands of people downloading an update from most servers slow them down you know. Like, all MMO launches are super slow and prblematic, it's not really the Dev's fault.
So, just to clear up any confusion: ONLY SHUTTING OFF the console during the update may brick it. IF you're ROUTER shuts off mid-update, it should be fine, and resume when the Wi-Fi connection returns.

Wow, this is instantly on my look-out-foor list.
I'll take a look at the Kickstarter later and may just fund it.

Is it bad I completely forgot Bomb Monkey exists?
Re: Maestro Working On New Titles For The Wii U eShop
Hmm... One minute they're asking for money for donations for a dev kit, the next they're putting all their games on the system. Nice.
Re: New Pokémon Revealed for X & Y, Say Hello To Ninfia
It reminds me of the Flying Gym Leader Skyla, so naturally I'm leaning towards it being flying.

...But it's nowhere near as good as Cave Story was, and I dunno if it'll sell as well either.
Re: Wii U Party Will Get The Family Together This Summer
Eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww...
The first Wii Party is among the few games I actively detest.
AND THEY GAVE IT NEW LIFE.
But they are also making a new Monolith RPG <3 <3 <3
Re: Nintendo Shows Off Monolith Soft's Wii U Project
@Ryno_Choryzo
There's a bunch of copies at my local GameStop.
A shame. They should ALL be bought.
Re: Talking Point: Wii U Direct - Tell Us What You Thought
I like how it's completely optional to rebuy the VC games, but it's cheaper too. Sure, it's no PSN, but it was more than I was expecting.
Re: Nintendo Shows Off Monolith Soft's Wii U Project
...Doesn't every game Monolith makes have an X in the title?
ALSO XENOBLADE SEQUEL GET HYPED!

Of course XBLA has better support than the Wii U but with all the comments of it's accessibility... I'm still interested on how this'll turn out.
Re: Maestro Interactive Games Bringing Super Ubi Land To Wii U eShop
Wow... story after story about Nintendo and indie devs. I'm very interested in seeing how this'll affect the new competitor's consoles.

Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life's Staff Awards 2012
Obligatory "Why didn't KI beat AT LEAST NSMB?".
Even if the controls were too difficult for some, the sheer amount of content and polish in the game still makes it better than NSMB2.
@I-U
It's odd, I actually preferred the ground segments to the air segments in KI.

Well.
Re: Square Enix Working On 3DS Game Featuring Transforming Cars
@MultiMariosonic
Looks like you missed the bit where it said it was already a TV series.
BTW Transformers wasn't the first thing to have the "transforming from vehicle-to-robot" idea.
Re: Street Fighter X Mega Man Is "A Bit Of A Mea Culpa"
THIS FIXES NOTHING.
But hey, Capcom, thanks for the free game. I'll take not paying for anything you make after MML3.

The other Nintendo bases need figures like Reggie, Miyamoto, or Iwata.
Mainly just another Reggie.
