Re: Nintendo Share Value Rebounds Slightly After Recent Drops

The best thing about the Wii U was it suability to have a separate screen for local multiplayer. In fact, my daughter and I have been playing a lot of Nintendo Land recently.

I may have been willing to buy both a Wii U and a 3DS, but I'm not too likely to want to buy two Swtiches given that they will probably be $450 or so after taxes here in the Great White North. But, that's all the speculating I will do now. Looking forward to the proper reveal.

Re: Lifetime American Hardware Stats Show The Size Of Nintendo's Task With NX

I guess there's something to be said for having the right console at the right time. Clearly this was the case with the NES, DS, and Wii. Innovation can be successful as those three pieces of hardware have been. But, status quo can also be successful as its seems to work for Xbox and Playstation. (We see similar results with software.)

Whatever the NX ends up being I'm very confident that it will have great games from Nintendo. (As long as it's not Mario tennis, that is.)

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Scoops Major Best of Show Award from E3

@ThanosReXXX Fair enough. My comment was mostly that one game isn't going to sell a system. I suppose I am becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of "best" games for the WiiU and concern about what might be on the NX. Don't get me wrong, I like the WiiU a lot and I think the GamePad is truly fantastic (we've even been playing NintendoLand lately). While I don't know a lot about the NX, I think it might be a very difficult sell to me and it's unlikely to be a day one purchase for me (unlike the WiiU).

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Needs to Excite A Mainstream Audience in 2016

I thought the Wii and the DS were gimmicky so I'm not surprised the Wii U is gimmicky as well and, no doubt, the NX will be.

I remember when controllers had just one button so anything more than that seems totally gimmicky to me. I mean, how dare the Sega have three buttons. WTF!? Mind you the Intellevision and Colecovision had more than one. Anyway...back to work for me.

"Points will automatically be used in the order in which in which you received them and will expire after 6 months if not used."

I guess this is to get people to use the site more frequently as opposed to only going to the old system once a year to claim points. I guess.

Seems unnecessary to me and acts as a real disincentive to want to use their service.

@renaryuugufan92 You're definitely not alone in this one.

I'm starting to get more interested picking this one up. I played the Wii version several times and it's such a great story and I can imagine the graphics and added details will make this...almost...worth the price. I'm also quite curious about how it will work without the 'waggle'.

It'll be a bit of a toss up if I get this one right away or not. Hmmm....

Re: Review: FAST Racing NEO (Wii U eShop)

This definitely is a fast racer with nice graphics and a great sense of speed. I can imagine the difficultly will put some people off as it does take a lot of practice to master some of the tracks and get that elusive first place.
