I think the bigger story here is that 50% of WiiU owners still haven't purchased Mario Kart 8. What's wrong with those crazy people?
I think the fact that you can give a structured description of what Papo and Yo is about shows how different it is from Journey.
One of the most important elements of what makes Journey so special is the ambiguity of it all. It's what makes it a unique gaming experience, because every single person's playthrough is impacted significantly by their own imaginations.
Whatever similarities you have drawn between Journey and Papo and Yo are of your own mak...
Well let's see...
You start off slow and then increase speed over time.
Voila, gaining momentum.
Indeed we are.
Nobody is more financially stable than Microsoft.
You wanna talk exclusively gaming divisions, fine. Then focus solely on the gaming division of Sony while you're at it, which is doing gangbusters. Every other division of Sony could go away tomorrow and the Playstation brand would still be profitable and keep the company going every bit as strong as Nintendo.
The WiiU has some great games but financials are not a great situation for Nintendo right now.
"the year for new IP's!"
There's really no need for that much apostrophe.
Did you honestly believe that being Japanese was synonymous with not being an ass?
Japanese humans are just like the other humans. They're human. And the thing about humans is, they can be total dicks. All humans. Even Japanese humans.
"But they did it first" has become one of the most overused debate responses being flung around these days, regardless of topic. Unfortunately it's not exclusive to any side/group.
You'll find it all over current events as well, not just gaming and the forums of N4G.

So what you're saying is "there's no such thing as DDR5 RAM."
I'm guessing 0% of the game is based in a dessert.
This is where I bring up how cool it'd be to be able to play Mario Galaxy 3 on my Xbox or PS console and I'm told that I'm a blind fanboy and I hate video games.
I knew it!
Finally we're gonna get to the bottom of this.
So what you're saying is they wouldn't sell any hardware if it weren't for people's desire to play their games?
I agree, they've monetized video games.

If Battle Mode is added in a future DLC I'll gladly pay for it, no questions asked.
Unfortunately there has been zero evidence of Nintendo having any intention of releasing a proper battle mode. As such it's nothing more than throwing around a bunch of what ifs.
The game isn't anywhere near broken, but launching without a proper Battle Mode is a HUGE omission for a lot of die hard Mario Kart fans. Pretending it's n...
The WiiU has some great games. I'm not sure how that plays into this particular situation, however.
I guess if I get that "realistic racing" itch I could always pop in some Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze or Bayonetta 2. Yeah, Project Cars won't be missed at all./s
I'm sorry but the "Who cares? I didn't want it anyway" argument has always come off a bit disingenuous to me.

Quite a few people have been buying games digitally for years. I've been playing Mass Effect on the Xbox One, which I bought digitally years ago.
You don't need to have a stack of discs laying around to take advantage of BC on Xbox One.
Are we all supposed to pass around a card and sign it now?
The real gaming community buys games, thus supporting the industry, and that's all the thanks any dev should ever want.
Although I'm not terribly torn up over the lack of split-screen I've always found it a bit odd that the PC gaming community in general likes to talk up the fact that consoles aren't needed because PCs can be set up on a TV and played from the couch with a controller, then talk about how "desk/office chair +mouse/keyboard is how PC games are always played so who cares about controller support and things like local co-op."
If PC gaming is going to break fr...
I don't think either console's 4k capabilities would be something they'd want the public to see.

Every gamer I have ever known has been a huge fan of the Mario Kart franchise, since the days of the original. MK8 is an amazing game that appeals to people with a huge variety of tastes.
I've heard a lot of convoluted arguments against Nintendo going third-party before, but what you just spewed is utter nonsense.
