Not gonna happen.

Like death and taxes, the Nintendo home console release timeframe is a sure thing- every 5-6 years without fail, no matter what. No sooner. No later.

Which means the Wii U successor will not release until November 2017, possibly November 2018 if they choose a 6 year cycle again.

Handhelds are a different story. But Nintendo home consoles, regardless of success or failure, always arrive in 5-6 year intervals. This generation...

"Don't think no one isn't"

Dude, that's like a triple negative lol. My head is still spinning trying to figure out what you meant by that

Early death? For 30 years Nintendo has released a new home console like clockwork in 5-6 year intervals. Which means in 2017-2018, the Nintendo machine will be fully greased and ready to drop the next. Not early. Not late. If there's one thing in life that's certain, it's that Nintendo will drop a new home console every 5 to 6 years.

I still see quality games releasing. As long as quality games are still coming it's not dead. A dead console doesn't have games coming. Vita, that's a dead console. Nintendo, however, never abandons ship, regardless of sales numbers.

So you can take that blind loyalist crap elsewhere.

And, this is current news. Everyone knows the first year was rough. But apparently things have turned around.

Horrible picks. Should be Smash Bros, Bravely Default, Mario Golf World Tour, Persona Q, and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby

They can be used tastefully. But a lot of AAA games just abuse them to no end.

And, is the game providing entertainment via story you watch unfold like a movie, or through skill-based gameplay you navigate?

I still feel like a true game that you actually play- if it's good enough to stand on its own two legs without needing story as a crutch, can provide more entertainment than a thousand cutscenes and Hollywood style presentation.

I lik...

It's not just casuals he refers to, it's the serious gamers who simply refuse to step outside of their skin deep comfort zone.

Nintendo gave up on the casuals already. They said as much at E3 after the repeated failure of popular Wii franchises. Why do you think we're getting a Star Fox and Majora's Mask remake? Because their focus has already shifted. Truth be told, their focus probably shifted long before that, but they still had some more casual type games ...

Almost at half a million sold at the moment.

Nothing to brag about but certainly not THAT bad as your statement implies, especially considering the fact those sales are from one platform only, and a rather small install base at that. And the fact that critically acclaimed games tend to continue selling on Nintendo platforms. I wouldn't be surprised if this game passes one million sold in due time.

Target was running Wii U Deluxe bundles with Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land for $250.

That's a fair price, and almost $100 cheaper than even the cheapest PS4/X1 bundles we saw this season.

I NEED this game to get localized. Don't get me wrong, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is going to be beyond epic, but I want a full home console experience like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U. Since MH4U is handheld exclusive, this is the next best thing. And it's on PS4 too? Come on, this is it right here! All they gotta do is localize it.

iPhone? They couldn't at least put it on iPad where I can see what I'm doing?

Dude, you are awesome. Anyone who disagrees with your statement should have their gamer card revoked.

I own all 3 consoles too (and both handhelds). Going to play some more Captain Toad and Smash Bros on Wii U, some Halo Master Chief and Forza Horizon 2 on X1, a little Dragon Age Inquisition and Far Cry 4 on PS4, some Persona Q on 3DS and Tales of Hearts R on Vita. And if I have time, some Metroid Other M and Skyward Sword on Wii.

Obviously they never played Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The boss Quadraxis has to be THE most impressive boss I've ever seen. In the 12 or so years since I played that game I have never encountered another boss that invoked such a response

Xenoblade Chronicles X is a very legitimate contender as well. Let's not forget that the original Xenoblade Chronicles is regarded by many as the greatest RPG of the 7th generation... The sequel doesn't look like it's going to disappoint either.

It's pretty good. It not "the best game ever made" like a lot of diehards would have you believe, but it's definitely the pinnacle of the survival horror genre. Which is really saying something.

It doesn't say that. It says it won the console war IN HIS HOUSE.

This article is explaining why it won the author over, not anyone else.

"They didn't lie"
The court begs to differ with you on that.

Whether you like it or not, the lawsuit IS a reality and IS actually happening, and IS newsworthy. You don't just pick the news you like and disregard anything negative that goes against your precious love company.

So the only spreading of lies that I can see is the Ms Cleo's of the comment section who assume to know what the future will hold pertaining to this lawsuit,...

It's not the character itself that's the issue. It's this particular design rendition
