Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Devs Explain The Method Behind The Menu Madness

Ultimapunch

@-wc- Remember pausing all the time for the Iron boots in the water temple? Zelda has had issues like this forever. The fact that dealing with a menu is the worst part of the game goes to show how sound the rest of it is. Nobody was complaining about the menus in Sonic 06. There were quite a lot of other more glaring issues to complain about.

Re: Talking Point: Just How Damaging Is This Big Pokémon Leak?

I really think all of these leaks are why Nintendo doesn't announce development partners beforehand anymore. They're trying to stamp out leaks and are trying to keep as much info close to the chest as they can. Leaks are fun for fans. But you have to remember that they happen because someone who has trust placed in them is breaking that trust.

Re: Poll: Resident Evil 6 Turns 12 - Does It Really Deserve Its Dire Reputation?

Ultimapunch

There's been an attempt at 6 revisionism to try and critically reevaluate it. People trying to claim that its a bad RE game but a good action game. I must say I disdain that attempt. It's just not good. Even as far as third person shooters go it isn't very good. The truth is that a guy chasing you around a dinner table with a shovel in RE7 is a million times more intense than literally anything in RE6.

Principle 1 of the Toyota Way: "Base your management decisions on a long-term philosophy, even at the expense of short-term financial goals."

Nintendo gets this. All of the most successful companies get this. When big players like Sony release garbage like Concord and the industry as a whole chases trends like a cat chases a laser pen. This sort of industrywide destruction happens. And companies that stick to their philosophies like Nintendo feel none of it. Build today to have a castle tomorrow. Remember that folks.
