I'm sorry I was unavailable to blow pathetic this story out'a the water as soon as it was sent to N4G for approval.
One question. How the hell was this story ever approved?
Ahh, I see lol. I never even gave GameSpot the honour of clicking on their link!
Tweets include.
Q. From @IGN - Why are you so cranky?
A. @IGN You think I’m cranky? Check out some of the message boards out there!
Q. How old are you, Cranky???
A. Old enough to remember when falling in a pit in a platformer was called “lack of skill” and not “cheap.”
OMG, lol, I think Cranky is talking about the fool from Kotaku who blamed the game design for his poor gaming performance when he streamed on Twitch.
Thanks Reeze and everyone else for this extra Bubble :) Remember though, it isn't how many Bubbles you've got, it's what you do with them that counts ;-)
I'll always speak my mind even if it means I'll lose Bubbles.
He was joking Chris ;-)
These are retailer sales and offers, not an official price drop.
Hehe. All these Nintendo apologists, it's a damn conspiracy! Wait, who said that, ARGHHHHHH don't touch my tinfoil hat, you hear now!!!
Well written. The author manages to stay clear headed throughout.
Nintendo have, and have publicly admitted as much, that they slipped on a cluster of banana skins for the launch of the Wii U. They were severely unprepared and underestimated the demands of the transition into HD gaming. Sony went through the same pains too, and to a lesser extent, Microsoft. Should'a, could'a been handled better, sure thing, but the reality of the situation is this.

Well, first off, Nintendo have already pointed out in their latest investor meeting that they plan on concentrating more on the value of the GamePad, especially in single player senarios - which unfortunately for the writer of this piece, instantly nullifies his intentions for writing this.
Second, when Nintendo made games for the Wii that used the Wiimote mainly as a d-pad controller in the case of say SSBM, or maybe didn't use motion controls, e.g. Xenoblade: were peopl...
"For comparison, Donkey Kong Country Returns in 2010 debuted to 160k sales in its opening week in Japan. That was on the Wii which had a much higher install base than the Wii U currently has but still. "
But still .. .. What? But still... ... let's pretend that fact isn't reality and carry on with with the click-bait article anyway?
Please add the source where Nintendo said "DK:TF will be daaa syzzzdemm sellaaaa". Or is it more th...
Reads like a bad sci-fi novel. Also, the 20% drop in share price you mention was a one-day spread. By your (I would say calculations - but you didn't do any) guess/copying work, Nintendo's current, on the day share price is ~77.31, which it is no where near. It opened at ~87.04.
In fact, if you take the average spread from 1st of January to the price on 18th February, then it works out at ~7.68%. But it has been a little more and a little less for the average spread b...
Power of the Cloud.
Of all the companies and publishers you point the finger at, you choose Nintendo, when there are far, far, far worse offenders.
Nintendo are the most creative company in this industry and take more risks and try new things than anyone. But hey, that doesn't matter because of one game that was designed to stay close to its classic roots.
Are you for real?
Of course you are... you actually are for real aren't you. Shame on you.
So Wii U the best version. No surprises there.
So 10 minutes of gameplay then. Sounds like a proper game this. Can't wait to watch (I mean play) this.
No, not really.

It is really strange though that these bottom-feeder review sites have decided to publish theirs last. I guess they do it to get more clicks. Too bad nobody cares what they have to say!
Then why comment in so many Wii U threads. Makes absolutely no sense.
I think that's partly/mostly because it stands out like sore thumb amongst all the high score reviews and is the reason for it being a discussion point.
Nintendo have no part to play in any unwarranted hype surrounding any N-D announcement. How this person writing this doesn't understand that if an N-D doesn't meet the level of hype an individual induced on THEMSELVES it's their own damn fault, not Nintendo's, I just do not know.
If a person is of such weak mental disposition and cannot muster the simple required base line commonsense to not get caught up in silly web forum borne hype, then stay away from NeoG...
