@CB85 This is hardly a new game though.

@Peach64 While I doubt that is the reason. It's very unlike Nintendo to release a game that preforms as half-assed as this.

Well Pachter is right even if he is stating the blindly obvious. As for Mario being a generator of mobile revenue... Well he likely could be, but I doubt we'll see a Mario game that requires the precision that requires tactile controls on a touch only device, as that is one of things Nintendo prides itself on.

@HollywoodHogan He also predicted the Vita would outsell the 3DS, which would flop and the Wii would never be sucessful

@ikki5 You can buy the toys separately here too.

You can buy the toys at my local... I er.. Know that because reasons.

@Yorumi Now your being overdramtic. They already acknowledged SS hand holding issue and that's why it was significantly toned down for ALBW. Wii U Zelda looks to be following in its footsteps.

@Aromaiden Spoilers they're not related to you.

@sWiTcHeRoO, Woe begone Nintendo has something in their games which some people find offensive.

@JaxonH Exactly, though the question of relationships between cousins is a touchy subject and in certain parts of the world does not count as incest.

@sWiTcHeRoO Then don't use that feature. Many RPG's let you view the character models regardless of how much/little they're wearing. Most past Fire Emblem games have rape and incest subtext. Don't act like this is something new.

@ikki5 I don't expect them to have to do anything, but the game hardly seems like it will be pushing graphical boundaries.

At this point I'll believe it when I see it.

@Kaze_Memaryu Indeed they did, but the Pokémon Company operates separately from Nintendo hence this.

@Ichiban What about the current day Miyamoto?

@Yorumi I think the problem was the context of the violence, as was said in the article attacking a prone opponent is seen as dishonourable to the Japanese. Totally different from stabbing a sword into a guys head who is trying to kill you.

@moomoo No that was Partners in Time. That game was just bland.

Armature. Isn't that that studio that was formed from ex Retro Studio employees? If so we can likely expect the port to be technically sound.

@TobiasAmaranth I hope you weren't trying to be funny with biting comment of yours.

@arronishere If they do advertise...

@Nintendo69 I believe he's talking about Rodea.

@BieberBlows No. People just blew how bad they thought they were out of proportion.

@Peach64 Their recent history under Nintendo has been a lot more consistent though.

Still waiting...

@Dipper723 Shame. I guess I'll stick with my discs then.

Are they in HD though?

@NaturalGus Animal Crossing on the 3DS has sold how many million copies and you want them to stop making them so they can bring out the big guns? You should really do some research and a Pikmin may not be a multi million seller, but I would hate to live in a world where Nintendo ignored more niche games in favour of producing blander blockbusters.

@KillScottKill Yeah, but by the time you thought of them MK8 sped up and zoomed pass them .

Most anticipated in this order. Xenoblade X, Zelda U, Splatoon, Mario Maker, Yoshi's Wooly World, Devils Third.

@WiiUSucks Old fogies like you are too caught up in nostalgia.

@Ninty4thewin It's not like they can stop them.

I haven't seen a single Smash Bros advertisement on TV in the UK since it came it out. Is it any wonder why they aren't preforming better?

Flock off feather face.

Michael Pachter on the other hand...

Meh awards mean nothing.

@minotaurgamer "More Pikmin crap."? Your comment lost all credibility.

@Wouwter Implying games before this weren't even buggier.

@Peach64 Surpassed in general or in quality? If it's quality I'll have to disagree.

@Peach64 Maybe a Zelda U themed Link costume in Smash?

@NbaJunkie Defending? No I'm simply stating an opinion. There's no need to shove gamepad controls into a game that doesn't need them like TF. Pikmin 3 used it more than just a map. It would have been much more difficult to complete challenge mode without the multitasking opportunities it provides. Frankly while Watch Dogs may be using it more than some of Nintendos titles I don't believe it should have taken them all of that time it was delayed for to implement them.

@NbaJunkie Consider how many of Nintendos flagship franchises are on the Wii U. Apart from a couple of Mario games not much. Wind Waker made good use of it, but since it was a remaster they couldn't use it too much. Pikmin 3 used it well, though I wouldn't call it a flagship franchise. Xenoblade X seems to use it quite extensively and Zelda U will as well.

@Nintenjoe64 So since a game like Xenoblade didn't hit a coupla million why are they making a sequel then? Or niche games like Pikmin for that matter?

@Artwark Third party games on Wii U. Not DS or any of their other portables.
