I wonder if these people actually play the game themselves or at least look at a good bit of videos on Youtube before this article was publish or mention what was going on. Just by putting AC with COD something tells me no....
@Koto valid point about understanding how the companies work but why move people other projects when you have a new video game console to sell (if that's the case), I'm just pointing out things that we all know the Big N could have avoided and should be doing but some how that is not the case.
I don't know why Nintendo just didn't increase the staff size. By increasing the staff size it wouldn't be: understaffed, no game delay, and still releasing a AAA quality game on time. These actions makes me think "why didn't Nintendo worked on the Wii U hardware more before releasing it" or "where is the Wii U advertisememt" or "why didn't the Wii U have the Wii hardware install from the get go". I mean these things are the most simple things to even think of before the GamePad layout so why wasn't it thought of?
Marketing 101 has been missing. Who was in charge of commercializing the Wii U? Whoever that is might need to take basic college course for marketing again.
...........I don't think this is a smart move. I think Nintendo should go all out offensive at E3. I mean all OUT! I like how they are focusing on the software. Time to let the games and the gameplay do the talking. No more saying how the Wii U GamePad could change te gaming world, let the software explain. But then at the same time why not have a E3 showing of the titles, some gameplay and have the direct broadcast go into more detail about the games? Well Satoru Iwata I like you and the DS series and Wii series did came out while your president which pushed Nintendo to new places so you have my faith.
I like Satoru Iwata as president of Nintendo. With him as president he brought the DS series, the Wii series, Nintendo Direct videos, and the Iwata ask interviews.
Had the game for a while here in the USA. I'm playing it on hard and I love the challenge and one thing I hate is that when I'm playing a level and I am almost finish and somehow a enemy defeats a character, it is pretty frustrating to start the whole level all over. I welcome the casual mode because it takes away that frustration.
I think the problem is that the Wii U have too many ports and its at full price! Would you buy a $60 game or a $20 game? I think most would agree on option "B". I liked that they tweaked things here and there but the Wii U ports don't recive certain DLC (Mass Effect). Sure some games get a second chance like Ninja Gaiden (in my opinion I liked it and I liked the additional content for the Wii U) which got pretty good reviews but then they go to the other systems (Ninja Gaiden 3 "again" suppose to be going the other systems with the Wii U content) which in my opnion feels like a slap in the face. Not as bad the Rayman game being pushed back but you guys get my point. I liked the article because I can relate to majority of it. Keep up the good work!
I hated those random freeze times, especially when I was trying to show my cousin what the Wii U was all about! Talked about great timing when showing off the system.
Aww man that sucks. The Wii U has so much potential. I like MiiVerse and the TVii (I love to see people drawings) and the idea of five people on Nintendloand or NSMBU is awesome and fun. Maybe Nintendo pushed the Wii U out to fast? Naw I don't think so. I wonder what the NL staff thoughts are?
Glad to see 3rd parties games on the list for the 3DS. I think if Nintendo update the WiiU to fix issues such as loading times, better navigation on the TVii, and so forth, I think Nintendo will be like "Told ya so" and watch us consumers cry with joy with the upcoming games.
@tealovertoma I seem ads in retail stores and on TV. Personally I think Nintendo needs to be more aggressive advertising the Wii U with factors such as why is it different from the Wii.
Don't forget some of the Wii U launch titles are ports for example:Mass Effect, Batman, COD, Fifa, Madden, and NBA 2K13. These games was out for a good while before the Wii U came out and they sold a lot on the 360 and PS3 so its no figure some of the games are struggling.
I think it will find a audience in the future. The WiiU will need time to have an audience to grow and when you have games such as the new Rayman and Alien game, I think it will find an audience. Let us not forget the Big N franchises.
Let us not forget that the Wii U is able to (I believe) to use two game pads at once. I remember a article about it and I think Nintendo said the WiiU will be able to support two gamepads (I could be wrong) and Nintendo is looking into the concept of the WiiU/3DS connectivity so I think the long term in their eyes have alot more to come with big plans.

Re: Epic Games Rules Out Unreal Engine 4 For Wii U
He said Unreal Egine 4 is for the next gen consoles so is that a secret way of saying the Wii U is not next gen?

I don't remember AC4 showing any "whaling" actions of some sort. What makes PETA think they might have whaling? Because of the pic?
Re: PETA Starts "Whaling" About Assassin's Creed IV's Animal Cruelty
PETA never talked about the ninja dogs in Ninja Gaiden 3. Just pointing that out...
