Re: Nintendo NX Doesn't Need To Compete With PlayStation 4 And Xbox One To Be A Success, Claims Analyst

I don't think Nintendo should worry about trying to compete with the other two companies, but they also shouldn't completely ignore it. Their focus should be on a completely solid experience out of the box while being both innovative AND intuitive. All the gimmick in the world won't help if your customers don't understand it. The console should also be easy to develop for to entice the 3rd party developers and have a strong launch library. Lastly, they need to advertise advertise advertise. NA is a very advertise heavy market. Just about every other commercial break there's a Sony or Microsoft ad for their console or game for their console. Word of mouth and niche websites aren't going to be good enough for Nintendo.

Oh and one last thing... Nintendo needs to figure out their online account system, ESPECIALLY if their new console is going to be a portable hybrid.

Re: Minecraft: Wii U Edition Will Support the Wii U Pro Controller, Voice Chat, and USB Keyboards

@BinaryFragger I think it's safe to say that most people who wanted Minecraft have already bought it on literally any other system. The Wii U version doesn't distinguish itself from all of the other versions, so why would someone who already owns a copy on one or two different platforms want to buy this copy if it offers nothing new or unique? I can't claim to speak for everyone or even the majority; I can only claim to speak for myself, but that's why I won't be buying this.

Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Minecraft: Wii U Edition, Or Is It Too Late?

It's too little too late. It feels too much like an afterthought, like they put the minimal amount of required effort into milking another income source rather than truly making Minecraft for the Wii U, if it is to really come with no Wii U-nique features.

On a personal level, though, I can't bring myself to play just vanilla Minecraft anymore. I can't play without mods. Mods are the breath of life behind Minecraft's longevity.

I have faith in Nintendo here. Everything I've scoffed at them for in the past has turned out to be unexpectedly enjoyable for me. Their gimmicks have been my favorite parts of their systems lately.

I will admit, I enjoyed connecting my 3DS to my WiiU Smash Bros and using that as a controller. I'd love to see it used more in that way. I would also like to see more games paired between the two consoles, such as Mario Maker which could really benefit from having a mobile port.
