Just out of curiousity, how many is a great selection? To you? I imagine my gaming habits are different to yours.Eve Charm said:
like I said I never played beyond stage 3 I think it was, didn't like the gameStats ^1 said:
and yes all of my friends refuse to use the tablet and no I can't just make new friends, I'm pretty sure nobody can, and I did suck it up, I played through the whole game using it, that still doesn't change the fact that I wish I could use a Pro Controller.
AND to me it does feel much worse than an xbox controller. You love it I hate it, why are you making such a big deal out of this? Can't we just agree to disagree?
I don't love it, but I'm not insane and irrationally negative about the controller. It doesn't feel as bad as you're trying to make people believe. I know for a fact that you don't honestly believe the garbage you're spouting about the controller being a giant brick.GZGoten said:
Some marketing campaign indicating one system is different from another would also help. What happened to those days? They went from Super Nintendo to Nintendo 64 to Nintendo GameCube. Now it's Wii and Wii U, DS to 3DS to New 3DS.alj said:
All they really need to do is launch a console that matches the PS4's specs for a lower production cost and retail price.Flunk said:
First Party is an automatic win, third parties love money and will port their games over. The only "sticking point" is their online policy/system and how they intend to balance their focus.
They could easily get back in contention. They just need to buy themselves time to design and develop a new strategy and console whilst the Wii U does the best that it can in the meantime.
This just sounds like a case of subtlety being lost in translation to me. I'm guessing (though non-English languages are all Greek to me) there were probably at least 1 or 2 other words/phrases that could have been used to translate this and not sounded as inflammatory and headline-grabbing. As others have said his meaning was probably closer to "apathetic" since he's describing passivity here.
Nintendo helped games go mainstream with the Wii but since then mainstream audience have been trained by mobile phones that games cost $1-$2 and should be as simple and repetitive as something on the Atari 2600. And that's just not what Nintendo makes, and even if they wanted to start making that the competition is so dense in that market it's already standing room only.
It's only natural that Nintendo would return to a market that they're already familiar with, and still in a relatively good position to compete in.

Why does the tech have to be cutting edge to be a "proper gaming system"? On the contrary- older hardware is cheaper and easier to develop for. Extra polygons and shininess are fine and all, but having them doesn't make a game "more gamey"/proper.Flunk said:
I think it's more to do with having the processors and the RAM to be able to smoothly run third-party games made by lazy developers who can't be bothered to tidy up their poor coding skills, thus leading to bloat, redundant code, memory errors, glitches and no end of others problems.Ratty said:
For reference, see most modern games. Notice why Fallout 3, New Vegas and TES:IV were like 6 - 7GB, but Skyrim was barely 4GB? They cut away loads of the crappy code and redesigned the Gamebryo Engine, and even then, Skyrim has ample problems.
Point being, third party developers are TOO LAZY to support anything of "inferior tech" because it requires too much effort.
Those saying all Nintendo needs to do is bring out a "powerhouse" clearly have no idea how consoles work. History is littered with examples of these supposed powerhouses and how successful they were.Flunk said:
So they break the bank to secure an expensive, more powerful system...to have third party games by the usual jobbers sell like crap anyway. So what is the point exactly?
Nintendo know better than to make a hoss the centerpiece of their stable. That is more an American thing, the Japanese prefer more technical performers.
