Firing him will be the first of many positive moves Nintendo must make. The keeping to the old ways of business as usual is also what killed BlackBerry.

Mr. Iwata has been rehashing the same promise and excuses for years. How many Mario based games has been release for the WiiU since launch? Cause Mario everything is clearly the answer. Piss poor online presence, half baked multimedia services, poorly promoting the Nintendo console brand and yes long droughts between AAA games. All of the above falls at his feet. So once again enough with the comical promises and produce results.
At this point Iwata is a bag of hot air. Enough with the talking and show it or step the hell down.
Nothing special here. It looks more current gen than next gen.
And it starts with Iwata leaving.
He needs to go. Even share holders know this. As soon as he said we would stay, Nintendo stocks took a major hit.
He did not take responsibility then. He needs to step down.
ZombiU was a good idea but the developer did put enough effort in it. Too repetitive and limited gameplay mechanics.
Its a no brainer to make the prediction PS4 will dominate. You can't even find one in retail stores but you sure can find XboxOne on shelves.
Yep... In retail stores around the country you will find XboxOne on shelves and no PS4 in sight.
XboxOne is over priced, under powered and uninspired Kinnect that the majority will gladly do without.
BestBuy and countless other retail stores I have been in... XboxOne and WiiU on selves, PS4 sold out.
This new IP had serious promise but was half baked and too repetitive. To blame the poor sales on the WiiU user base is just stupid. Build quality games and sales will come.
Looks very poor. They should have waited and did more work on this demo before showing it.
Why does Nintendo own this developer?
Damn... not good news at all. This clearly means the PS4 version will be dummy down to get the Xbox720... i mean XboxOne version remotely close to 1080p and running at 60FPS. I still have this game on my radar for the PS4.
Agree. I would like some news on Starfox, Metroid (the real deal version and not some spinoff 2D version) and Zelda. Nintendo just keep on shooting themselves in the foot.
No it will not run at 1080p on the Xbox720… I mean XboxOne.
Not surprised. This game is on my radar and is shaping up to be the best zombie game this new generation for 2013-2014 titles.
Reggie and Nintendo should have never been on that show and worse yet they pick the wrong game to show for that kind of gaming crowd. I am not sure why Nintendo seems to be doing everything wrong this generation in bringing awareness to WiiU strength.
Plus his comment about its about games and not just pretty graphics was idiotic since the WiiU has one of the worse gaming support (3rd party) since the Gamecube era. Very very bad PR move last night by Reggie and Nintendo. It ...
Who cares... No one really use or like 3D.
