Re: Pachter: Without Third Party Support Nintendo Fans May End Up Buying A Second Console

nothankyou

I had (and am having) fun with the Wii and I'll have fun with my Wii U. I don't really care much for generic EA/Ubisoft games at all. The 3DS has already outsold the Gamecube in total sales, so I really don't think Nintendo will slow down sales-wise any time soon regardless of EA/Ubisoft shovelware.
However, it would be nice if Nintendo went back to a traditional console for the next generation. A more standard controller/console could likely boost sales and support.
Also, the Wii U is less than a year old! The 3DS had a slow start too, ya know.

Re: Feature: 3DS - A Report Card Ahead of Its Biggest Year

nothankyou

The 3DS is doing a lot better than I expected. While I don't really like Awakening, RE Revelations, Luigi's Mansion 2, SSFIV 3D, Mario Kart 7 and a plethora of quality eShop titles are certainly keeping me busy. Also, it may be a personal point, but I love the easy to use MP3 player. I haven't touched my iPod since I got my 3DS, now that I think about it.

Re: Feature: Series Reboots That Have Divided Gamers

nothankyou

Metroid: Other M is a very shaky subject, and I can see why people hate and love it. I personally love the gameplay; it's very similar to Fusion it terms of progression (which I like), and the combat can be fast paced and fun, as well more involved than previous entries. However, the story is... shaky. Everybody who's played the game knows what I'm saying when I say "Varia Suit" or "The Ridley scene". But overall, I liked it. The story is at least O.K. for the most part, and the gameplay takes the Metroid formula into 2.5-D territory very well. So I can see why people hate it, but it isn't even close to series-destroying territory.
