@Squid_Gangster As long as the NX isn't weaker with than the XBOX ONE, we should chill.
As for no disk drive, I hope they don't go to digital only. I love having physical copies. They probably won't go away, so I hope its a Wii U mini. (which would be dumb to make but whatever.)
I'm all cool with DLC if done right. MK8- Fantastic DLC. Smash- Overpriced. Why do we need to pay for costumes? Splatoon- I wish the content was in the game. Free doesn't mean it's a good practice. That's like saying on disc content is ok as long as it's free.
Remember! Nintendo doesn't like people sharing their games on YouTube! Hate to be negative but you know they will most likely claim it. King K Rool I could care less about. Really hoping Wolf gets announced in some shape or form.
Amazing how we can bombard Nintendo's E3 2015 Digital Event, calling it the worst E3 ever, but now that Nintendo Life is bombarding Devil's Third, some people turned a new leaf!(no pun intended.)
This man helped me get into gaming, because Nintendo was a HUGE part of my childhood, and I'm glad I was able to get my hands on a physical copy of EarthBound. Thank you Iwata. Keep on gaming in heaven.
And from Sakurai... “The president of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata has passed away. He was my former employer, but even when my situation and location changed, he was always the most understanding [of me and my work]. A hard worker and a virtuous man, he always supplied me with quick, fair guidance. I believe that he was the greatest leader I could have imagined. May you rest in peace.”
Goodybye Iwata. I will miss you. We will all miss you.
People will argue that they can get great first party games, but if its powerful than we can get BETTER 1st Party games, Nintendo can get all of the 1st Party games, 3rd Party games, and Indie titles. However Nintendo is still stuck in their 90''s world.
Oh but the PS4 has no 1st Party Titles at all! Go watch their E3 2015 press conference. People say Sony Fanboys are bad but Nintendo fanboys are sometimes even worse! They never seem to think Nintendo doe anything wrong. People were defending their E3 this year for stupid reasons like "You guys are so ungrateful" I want the NX to be succesful, but if Nintendo repeats the same mistakes with the Wii U, then that might be enough to put a dent in Nintendo's wallet.
Nintendo I'm begging you PLEASE don't screw up with the NX. You really need it to be a simple system with no fancy gimmicks. Make it powerful enough to have the 3rd party games and if you are making a gimmick, make it optional.
Then again knowing you Nintendo you probably won't learn from your mistakes, but there is always hope.
As a Nintendo fan I'm really concerned about the Wii U's future. If this is Nintendo's management then fine. Keep doing this and see what happens. Its sad because the Wii U has some of the best games of the 8th generation, but no one plays them. If you know what we want then why don't you do them? I know this sounds selfish but this can attract Nintendo fans who left after the Gamecube/Wii. If the NX has a terrible name because its still a codename, has poor advertising, and a terrible launch line up, then Nintendo is going to be in some serious hot water, and they probably going to continue until their financial backs are on the wall. I hate to be doom and gloom but this is only if this management continues.
This is why I don't collect Amiibo. I have to camp outside just to get Ness, only to be pooped on by the lack of figures. Not to mention, why waste over $100 just to have them sit on your shelf?
Amazing how people are complaining that its a spoiler, yet their victory themes were already in the game. Besides who said they won't announce another character at the Digital Event?
I'm not planning to be a collector because I don't want to waste 100+ dollars just to put them on my shelf. I'm going to buy amiibo to use them in my games, not to just let them sit there and say "I'm so glad I got Ness!"
@Ryno I've gotta agree with you on the maps. Only 5 maps is bad enough but two every hour is just stupid to me. I love it that companies like EA and Capcom get called out for stuff like this, but now that Nintendo is doing it, people are brushing it off like nothing!
Good Review. My cousin got a review copy and he told me the Single Player was short, but still enjoyable. I do have no interest in the local multiplayer.
I wasted at least 20 min. trying to get a match. I made it to level 10 of Squid Jump and I eventually just turned it off. I only got ONE match in. I swear if this happens on release day; there ain't gonna be some happy campers.
This reminds me of a scene from the Simpsons where Homer deep fired his shirt .Margret said that she didn't say Homer couldn't do it, she said he shouldn't do it. That sums up Nintendo and media policies. I think they are afraid of people just watching the game and not buying it which I understand
HOWEVER I still believe more people would want to buy a game if they see someone else play it and they want to see how cool it is or how bad it really is. Watch when Splatoon gets thousands of copyright strikes.
Meanwhile at Nintendo

Amazing how these "few exclusives" were actually some of the best games of 2014. Unless you were a Nintendo fan 2014 was a disappointing year of gaming including Destiny, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed Unity and other crappy stand outs like Rambo and Sonic Boom.
Amazing how some of Sony and Microsoft's games (this is coming from a PS4 and XBOX ONE owner) can be found on the PS3 or 360. Third Party or not. So IMO there isn't a good reason to own one. That's not to say that both are bad systems but they are making my purchase feel worthless.

Re: New Patent Sparks Talk of Potential NX Details
I hope this means it is a hybrid. If this is a console (PLEASE NO!) It really will show Nintendo is literally stuck in the 90's.

Re: Nintendo Not Looking To Churn Out Yearly Sequels To Its Core Franchises, Feels DLC Keeps Games Feeling Fresh
I'm all cool with DLC if done right.
MK8- Fantastic DLC.

Splatoon- I wish the content was in the game. Free doesn't mean it's a good practice. That's like saying on disc content is ok as long as it's free.

Re: The Legend of Zelda on Wii U Still Has a TBC Release Date, Project Guard is Still a Thing
Wow. If this isn't a NX launch title I'll be shocked. The fact 2 NX games have been announced means it's probably coming in 2016.

Re: Obituary: Satoru Iwata
We should honor him by not only changing our pics to Iwata, but play all the games he helped bring like Earthbound, and Smash Bros.
Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55
http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-president-satoru-iwata-has-passed-away/ Tis a sad day for the Nintendo community.
In his own words...
On my business card I am a president, in my mind I'm am a game developer, in my heart I am a gamer.
And from Sakurai...
“The president of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata has passed away. He was my former employer, but even when my situation and location changed, he was always the most understanding [of me and my work].

Did they ever say it was weaker than the PS4? No. So there might be some hope, but I HIGHLY doubt it.
