Wii U's not outdated yet. In fact, until PS4 and XBone are released, it's the best hardware you can get. Even when the competitors arrive, it will just be like the wii was against the PS3 and Xbox 360, only the wii U will be closer to its competitors than the wii was.

Re: Miyamoto: Retro Studios is High on The List of Candidates For A New Metroid Game

they should make it 3rd person. Trying to replicate Metroid Prime series isn't going to do much. Make something like Other M but with a different story and better camera angles. The fighting in other M was cool and intense, but too easy. And the times in other M where you were supposed to aim at the screen with the wii remote (shudder) would be MUCH smoother using the gamepad. The 3DS Metroid I'd be okay with if it was in first person and you aimed with the 3DS but think of how cool it would be as a third person Metroid prime hunters style multiplayer (even better though, with voice chat) AND without sacrificing the story mode. That's what I want.

Re: Sword 'N' Board Confirmed For Wii U

I was planning on posting a comment about how I hate the animations of the sprites until I heard him say he did it all himself. I will definitely support this guy(But it's still bothers me that the game so far looks like something I could make in Petit Computer).

Re: Reaction: The Pokémon Bank and the Inevitability of Online Charges

Five bucks is not much. It's almost TOO low... What Nintendo is doing here is testing to see if people will actually pay for things like this, but with a low price. Next time, the price may be ten dollars a year, which is still low. Eventually, the price may be higher, or monthly. Then, if people still buy the stuff, Nintendo can follow Microsoft's lead and charge for things like online play itself (Although at a lower price than Microsoft. I can't see Nintendo charging THAT much for any kind of regular fee). Don't get me wrong, if I buy the game, yeah I'm going to pay for the Pokémon Bank. But I suspect that this will happen if the Pokémon Bank is a success.

Re: Wii U Name Isn't To Blame For Poor Sales, Says Reggie

Get rid of Reggie? Are you crazy? Nintendo would get a lot more hate from all the Reggie fans than they ever got for hiring Reggie. He's good PR. I'm not saying I agree with his worshippers, but he has a huge fan following.

Also, Nintendo as a company isn't doing bad. They just haven't many WiiU yet.

That would sell millions of systems! The people who don't know much about the WiiU, but just don't want one because it's a "Nintendo" would see what looks like a semi-portable Call of Duty on an HD system that you can play on the TV, too. Nintendo would do well to hire you as their head of advertising.
