Oh, it's all done out of fun.
I think Nintendo prefers being referred to as "the underdog". Yeah, mindless violence and drama make good for thrills, but there's plenty of that to go around. Gameplay has nothing to do with visuals. I'd like to see a 7 or 8 year old beat Skyward Sword, StarFox or Metroid. These games aren't easy, but they don't have to include "astonishing graphics" or "great voice acting", which would sound more like mo...
wow
They still don't have a "WiiU" icon on their page.
Perhaps "Gamespot" placates to the "Nintendon'ts".
"comeback"?
I'd say "game over"
XD... LOL!!
OMG, this is why I love this site! I think grinding axes is pretty fun to tell you the truth. I'll talk shit about Nintendo, even if they are my preference. It's good fun.
I'm not a fanboy in real life, but I play one on the internet.
Well, if there's no "WiiUselessness" in the world, how will the "Nintendon'ts" thrive? Well, they can always emulate I guess.
they do please, that's what drives them crazy...
Hey look! They make their own hardware and software!
MegamanU.
You can make it 3d, or you can make it 2d.
I know it won't happen but I can dream can't I?
Nintendo knows what they're doing.
Your controllers are outdated.
So you're all for graphics getting better but you don't want to play games differently?
Why have a new console if you're not going to do something different with your hardware?
Having a screen on your controller doesn't mean you have to look at it, but then again, you don't know what you're talking about.
So they've decided to use a remote/nunchuk-gamepad hybrid...
Well, at least it's not a Super Nintendo controller anymore.
best of luck to them.
No-one in this business takes Pachter seriously. He's in the business of making money on who does well in the industry.
When it comes to gaming, he's now a liability.
Keyword "looks". You called it clumsy without playing it? that's funny.
You do realize that the Playstation controller hasn't changed since Super Nintendo right?
throw in 2 sticks and 2 shoulder buttons.
At least separate the controller. Throw in a motion sensor... maybe you could have a Wiimote?...
I'm quite certain this is actually what the controller is going to be.
Currently designed controllers are outdated. Whatever controller you've got is going to be similar to a controller derived from a Nintendo console anyway, just own up to it.
Hardware developers are too worried about creating anything "new" as there is too much risk involved.
That's why you have the "kinect" and "move" stumbling out of the gate. You can't have hardware developers innovating something brand new without some so...
Ah, they're fanboys! They worship their consoles like bigots listen to talk radio. Any bad news for Nintendo is music to their ears. They are determined to scoff at the gamepad, that they would sabatoge their own appreciation for games. Not because it's "gimmicky" or "clunky", but because they worry about their own personal brand. They probably should be worried, the industry is changing. Maybe they're just tired of Nintendo being invulnerable. We've seen c...
"Microsoft is a few years late on that RROD"... oh wait, he didn't say that! XD
Pachter's "expertise" is always a welcomed in the land of Nintendo!! We need more fodder for the desperate fanboys that can't stand Nintendo anymore. Let them consume the glimmering hope that their brand demands. It's like hanging a carrot over your heads. Can we get more investment advice from this guy? As far as I can tell, Sony has been a safe investment, aside from t...
Actually I think Nintendo streamlined everything here when it comes to console gaming. His point isn't about "being first". The point is that Nintendo historically isn't behind with the times. You would do well to get 'your' facts straight.
Sony tried to charge me $150 for a refurb, and '360 Pro's' fixed "my" Playstation 3 for $100.
need I say more?
I sure hope Sony gets their house in order. I'll still play Sony systems. They'll have to do more than have a few exclusives to earn any more of my dollars.
Vita fans got screwed too. Nintendo will have its 3ds XL out next year.
I never cared for Pokemon, but I'm sure it'll be great.
There's so many other topics I'd rather be talking about.
GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!!
Ok, ok, let's have a therapy session.
You're all concerned that there's not enough room in this business for one of us. Yes, it's a rough industry out there and there's lots of change we have to deal with. I'm sure MS and Sony will be just fine, they say they don't compete with Nintendo so there shouldn't be a problem right? Nintendo is the 'underdog', 'for the kids', and "they just don't get it".
