Nintendo isn't responsible for an unorganized group that didn't explain what they were doing very well. I'm sure Nintendo had no idea what they were doing. I think Nintendo was smart for being skeptical. The Internet didn't change their minds
I saw it at best buy and I got to play it. It looked fantastic and played well. It was the best feeling Zelda I've ever played albeit short. I've never played past the first part of Wind Waker and this gives me more interest. It's a good holiday game that fits well with the other games and it wil encourage gamers and non gamers to pick up a Wii U rather than have only donkey kong.
@grenworthshero most have never played it before. It's still better than most games out these days. I think selling it less than 60 would be belittling the product
I noticed a lot more U stuff this year. Monsters U is one example. With that flagship Mario and Wii fit I expect the Wii U to make much more of a mark this year. As long as the advertising is good.
@bezerker99 it had advertising, but it was horrible. The Wii u commercials looked like the surface ones and completely sucked. The newer animal crossing commercials were fantastic and appealed to the masses and quickly explained what it is.
Even if they don't hit those numbers I feel that Iwata has become a more popular CEO compared to the competitors. He's certainly would be missed if he ever considered stepping down.
@Fillytase it's stylistic art. The editor is too young and sounds like he never played the original. He thinks Yoshis Story was a proper Yoshi game. After reading the article I got a guy who's simply out of touch with the product he played and held biased opinions from the get go.
Nintendo will be fine, this holiday hasn't happened yet. I don't plan on seeing the other pricey consoles flying off shelves. It just won't happen. People are much more careful these days. They want a bang for their buck
Retro has built enough trust to be given more staff and games. They've been working on one game at a time, have half the staff as other development companies like themselves. They should be working on two titles always so they consistently release a new title each holiday season.
I think Iwata's done what he should be doing so far. He hasn't caved and released games too early. He's public ally apologizing like he did when the 3ds sales were bad. Now the games just need to shine. He should have released a wii sports type game though and the advertising last year was horrendous that confused people. They need advertising that blatantly says the new Nintendo console in hd. Then have the dad want to watch his game and have the kid switch the game to remote play. Have him click the Internet button to discover how to beat a Mario level followed by adding a drawing or comment into miiverse. Then instead of telling leave them with a question "the possibilities are endless, what will U play next?" And yes Nintendo you have my permission to use that.
Nintendo had much better games. We played Mario 3d world and it was a complete blast. That game alone might just steal the show this holiday season. The launch games look really bad for psone.
Best advertising and promotions for a Nintendo product in a long time. The commercial clearly identifies "what you do" in the game. The wii u advertising completely confused people.
This game looks great, but the problem is kids were bored with the second skylanders. I want to play it and beat it, but if the kids would rather play Disney since its new and characters they are familiar with I see Activision having a tough time holding on. Especially if Disney is preparing for war.
Why is Nintendolife posting Pachter everywhere, every other video game site ignores him. He obviously hates Nintendo and knows little about this industry.
Reggie's right. I loved Bioshock infinite for a couple of days, but eventually traded it in, however new super Mario brothers and nintendoland would be insane to trade in because of the social aspects they bring.
I liked Destiny and Titanfall for psone but those probably wont come out til late 2014. This years Nintendos and I know Mario 3d world is going to be a complete blast.
A 2d platformer? It just seems like an easy game to make and were on overkill of those types of games. No matter how you look at it, this was a huge disappointment and I hope Retro can redeem themselves next e3.
I thought the only good games on other consoles are Titanfall and Destiny which I would have to choose between the ps4 and Xbox one. Ill probably stick with Nintendo until late 2014 when some decent twin (Microsoft and Sony) games come out.
This is the first Holiday season I might actually buy an ubisoft title, come on last year was garbage. The problem with 3rd party developers on the wii u is their hesitation. Of course nobody's going to buy raving rabbids and a 7.0 zombie u title. Nintendo tried hard to help your sales with packaged consoles, but you've got to release a hit first.

@Realgamer4life agreed Nintendo phone would be amazing.
Re: Talking Point: The Wii U Has Plenty of Opportunities for "Brand-New Types of Games"
They should put taboo on the controller and other table games. Nintendo should think about partnering with board game companies.
Re: Satoru Iwata - "There Are Some Reasons Behind" Region Locking
They should and probably will do away with region locking

Re: Investor Approval Rating For Satoru Iwata Drops To 77.26 Precent
That's not that bad considering the circumstance.

Make another Kameo game Rare, that game was amazing

Re: First Impressions: Yoshi's New Island
I'm just defending the game. The first game was incredible. And this looks like Nintendo went back to its roots. Expect a steller title here

Re: First Impressions: Yoshi's New Island
This game looks awesome. The first one was amazing and I don't agree with this article.
Re: Hands On: The Wonderful 101
This should at least should get a goty nomination. It's one of the few games this year that steps out of the box

Re: Review: Game & Wario (Wii U)
It's pretty good. Played the multiplayer last night with family and had a great time.
Re: Review: Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader (GameCube)
Poor company. I wish Nintendo would have picked these guys up. This was an incredibly talented studio.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Explains Structure To Ensure First-Party Quality From Subsidiaries

Re: Not All Super Smash Bros. Characters Will Make The Leap To Wii U And 3DS
@MagicEmperor yeah clones were terrible
Re: Not All Super Smash Bros. Characters Will Make The Leap To Wii U And 3DS
Just keep the original 8 and add a few. Melee was way too convoluted and made characters seem cheap.

@theblackdragon track? Apple has their phones made by preteens in China and they aren't free.
Re: Nintendo Falls Under Further Pressure Regarding Conflict Mineral Policies
I bet most tech companies use the same sellers. This article is ridiculous.

Re: Reggie Unmoved By The Threat Of $400 PlayStation 4
There will be a price cut but not until the holiday season
Re: Iwata: We Are To Blame For Poor Wii U Sales
I think Iwata's done what he should be doing so far. He hasn't caved and released games too early. He's public ally apologizing like he did when the 3ds sales were bad.

Re: Impressions: The Best Buy "Nintendo Experience"
It was pretty good. I thought Best Buy was going to blow it, but they actually did quite well. They gave away free stuff, it felt like E3.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo E3 Survey
Nintendo had much better games. We played Mario 3d world and it was a complete blast. That game alone might just steal the show this holiday season. The launch games look really bad for psone.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Leaf Earns Enough Bells For Second in the UK Chart
Best advertising and promotions for a Nintendo product in a long time. The commercial clearly identifies "what you do" in the game. The wii u advertising completely confused people.
Re: First Impressions: Skylanders Swap Force
This game looks great, but the problem is kids were bored with the second skylanders. I want to play it and beat it, but if the kids would rather play Disney since its new and characters they are familiar with I see Activision having a tough time holding on. Especially if Disney is preparing for war.

Re: Waiting For Wii U To Drop In Price? Not Going To Happen, Says Nintendo
A price cut is coming but right now a price cut wouldn't make sense. This holiday season it would.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Won't Feature Cross-Platform Play Between Wii U and 3DS
They should be making this cross play. Wasn't that the point of doing them simultaneously?
Re: Third-Party Characters in Smash Bros. to be Kept to a Minimum

Re: Reggie: Publishers Should Create Great Games To Stem The Impact Of Used Game Sales
