How do you know anything about Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.'s characters besides the tiny amount IS has shared? And Splatoon isn't story-driven, the developers has already stated that.
Alright man, chill. We all know WiiU has more quality games than that, Like Arkham, for example, also I noticed you made no mention of the eShop, which is full of amazing titles, don't let your frustration lead you to make intentionally false claims, it will in the end do nothing but embarrass you and as a whole it makes the community look bad.
Nintendo has always been about innovation, and with innovation inevitably comes trial and error. Have patience, have you seen any Nintendo E3 footage? Great games are coming!
Hmm, very interesting article. What struck me the most is the Intelligent Systems bit, fans demanding two separate things to happen at once really isn't possible. Nintendo fans are the most picky, in my opinion.
Nintendo's doing right as far as first-party games are concerned, I think what alot of fans(especially older ones) want is some kind of reassurance that currently 'dead' franchises(F-Zero) will come back, they've adopted a sort of 'all aboard' mentality, wanting new IPs and experiences, willing to take risks on them, but not wanting to lose anything in the process. Essentially, they want Nintendo to manage the franchises it already has first, before they begin new ones.
As for Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., I, myself as a younger gamer, am extremely excited for this game's release, I've never played Wave Race, F-Zero, or even Star Fox, my first Nintendo console was a Wii, so the franchises I'm familiar with are Zelda, Pokemon, Kirby, Mario(and his many off-shoots), and, last year, Fire Emblem(which quickly became my favorite), so I can't say I understand why so many people are adamant about this franchises return, and as such I'll reserve any judgement until I play them someday.
In closing, it doesn't matter what you want: New IPs or the complete revival of old ones, just pick one and stay with it so Nintendo can find out what the majority of its customers want, Nintendo rarely goes in the completey opposite direction of what its supporters want.
I couldn't agree more with this list. I just got Moon Chronicles, at it is amazing, and, I admit, this talk of a second season is news to, but welcome, nonetheless.
Something about Moon Chronicles seems wierd to me, what guarantee does anyone have that they'll make the DLC packs? What if 'funding runs out'? I'm not giving them $9.00 until they release all the content. :/
Linsdey Stirling is an amazing dancer, violinist, and person and is anything but 'fake' or 'commercialized', I had the extreme pleasure of meeting her in person, and thus I am shocked at the absolute lies people have been saying in the comments above.
You guys should be ashamed of youselves, you see someone with talent and feel the need to bring them down to your low level in an attempt to make yourself feel better, it's childishly pathetic.
Oh, shut up. You have no idea what you're talking about.
These people worked for years on this, while you wrote your idiotic comment in 30 seconds whilst you took a ****.
Play Brawl if you want, but don't for no good reason, blatantly and unjustly attack someone's passion for something. It's pathetic, childish, and immoral.
If you think you can just talk crap like that, you're wrong, you're a pathetic, stupid moron with no respect for talent. Hope your Wii breaks.
There's a difference between an athletic sport and just a sport.
For instance: Baseball is an athletic sport.
Speedrunning simply qualifies because there is at least some PHYSICAL activity. Moving your hands to compete does, in the strictest sense, qualify as a sport, just not an athletic one.
In addition, words have changed since the first Olympics in 1802( or at least, I think that was the first Olympics), I mean, texting slang is being added to more and more dictionaries that have been around since the 19th century( like the Websters Dictionary).
So, in conclusion, in a world where 'twerk' has been added to dictionaries, I think it's only fair to allow leeway as to what is called a 'sport', especially since it may not be an athletic sport.
@Bray42 True. Still, it's pretty impressive Nintendo turned around the situation like this. They turned a weak spot in 3DS marketing into a new, best-selling console!
@globalisateur
Oh hush, Nintendo's released several public and official statements saying they plan to keep utilising 3D. And really, Nintendo is supporting 3D with this move. Now developers can use 3D without being worried about the possibly eye-damaging 3D that might happen to younger players, especially if the game is geared toward young children. So really, Nintendo gave developers more reason to use 3D, because the 2DS automatically disables 3D. So really, when you look at it logically and not unreasonably dramatically like you were doing, Nintendo took a step to insure more 3D-inabled games. Not the other way around.

Re: Reaction: Our Thoughts on Nintendo's Big Day at E3
Well, 3DS coverage was a little scarce, but all in all it made me decide to buy a WiiU. I simply cannot miss out on Xenoblade, Zelda and Splatoon.
Re: Feature: Our Hopes and Dreams for E3 2014
I really agree with the part about Nintendo needing more unique shooters.
Also yes, The WiiU GamePad should be brought into the limelight.

Never heard of it, but it looks good. I gotta save some money for Ironfall, though. Bought so many eShop titles lately.

This review is full of donkeycrap. Sorry.
